    DATE • 13 November 2015 ISSUE No. 191 Visit To Hakodate I went to visit the Hakodate Community on an important matter on the third week of October. I was able to interview the three Brothers currently assigned there: Br. Andre Labelle, Br. Fermin Martinez and Br. Victor Gutierrez. While there the school was busy orienting prospective new students and parents, I appreciate very much the warmth and hospitality of the Brothers of the community. On my last evening we had an excellent Walnut Pecan Pie whipped up by Br. Fermin. While in Hakodate, I took the opportunity to do a three-day quiet retreat in the Trappist Monastery in Hokuto, about 40 minutes from Hakodate. Thank you Brothers Andre, Fermin and Victor! ISSUE No. • 1! of 8! Silver Jubilee Celebration of Brothers Dante, Dodo, and Vince On 31 October 2015, I celebrated my Silver Jubilee together with my batchmates Dante and Vince. Rather than writing about it, I’d like to share with you the citations in the plaques prepared by Br. Vic Franco. This was a special moment in my life as a Brother and I am filled with gratitude for the prayers and support Brothers and partners have given me throughout the years. (Thanks to Br. Ruben Caluyong for the Photos) St. La Salle exhorted his Brothers: “You can perform miracles by touching the hearts of those entrusted to your care.” (Med 180.3). Friend to countless people, especially his former students, touching hearts is what Br. Dante has been doing for the past 25 years. Whether as stimulating teacher, innovative administrator, or advocate for empowering young leaders, Br.

    DATE 2021 April 19 • ISSUE No. 357 www.lasalle-lead.org #buhayBRO: A Life Worth Giving The Philippines is celebrating 500 years since Christianity was introduced. Since then, many people have given their lives for the propagation of the faith in our land. It is, but timely, to also give credit for the spread of the faith through the educational ministry of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Many Brothers have given their lives for this educational ministry, going to assignments, to new places, and letting the presence of God be felt through their actions. One such Brother is Br. Edgar S. Esparagoza FSC, who professed his perpetual vows as a De La Salle Brother on 04 April 2021 at 4:00 PM. Br. Edgar consistently described the life of the Brothers or #buhayBRO as a life worth living, but more than living it out, he has given it all to the ministries entrusted to him in his role as a teacher in De La Salle Lipa, the vocations promoter of the Brothers in the Philippines, and more recently, the formator at the House of Studies in De La Salle University. ISSUE No. 357 • 1 of 11 www.lasalle-lead.org The event was graced by the PARC General Councillor, Br. Ricardo Angel Laguda FSC, LEAD Visitor, Br. Armin Luistro FSC, and former LEAD Visitor, Br.

  • Volume I, Number 14. 15 November 2019. All-Out War Vs. Rights Defenders & Humanitarian Workers
    UPDATES PHILIPPINES Released by the National Democratic Front of the Philippines Amsterdamsestraatweg 50, 3513AG Utrecht, The Netherlands T: : +31 30 2310431 | E: [email protected] | W: updates.ndfp.org vol i no 14 15 November 2019 EDITORIAL All-out war vs. rights defenders & humanitarian workers President Rodrigo Duterte and his murderous co-conspirators have been unrelenting in their attacks against human rights defenders, political activists, opposition leaders and humanitarian aid workers. Just in the past two weeks, several homes and private offices were attacked by Duterte security forces. Dozens of individuals, including minors, were arrested and detained on spurious charges of illegal possession of firearms and explosives. A human rights defender from southern Philippines has been missing since 2 November. A labor leader was killed south of the capital Manila on 4 November. A radio broadcaster was killed in Negros island on 7 November. On 5 November, the Armed Forces of the Philippines revealed a new list of ’18 communist front organizations’ – a warning that they will be the next targets of intensified repression. Members and officials of activist organizations are constantly subjected to surveillance and death threats. The Duterte government calls its strategy the ‘whole-of-nation approach’ in order to end what it calls ‘the local communist armed conflict’. Instead of resolving the roots of the armed conflict however, it has instead targeted individuals and their groups ‘guilty’ of helping the poor and powerless. Spearheaded by murderous conspirators such as generals Hermogenes Esperon, Delfin Lorenzana, Eduardo Año and Carlito Galvez Jr., this strategy is doomed to fail.

  • 3 July 2020 Once More, We, the Undersigned, Strongly Register Our
    3 July 2020 Once more, we, the undersigned, strongly register our opposition to the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 (House Bill No. 6875) recently approved by the House of Representatives on third and final reading and the earlier similar bill approved by the Senate (Senate Bill 1083) last February. We reiterate our call for the President to listen to the pleas of our people who are already burdened by the pandemic, and to veto this particular version of the bill, before it automatically lapses into law on July 9, 2020. Once more, we also express our commitment to work with government to craft a better version of the bill, and other legislation, that can uproot terrorism, while still addressing the people’s concerns about their basic rights. By so doing, we will not be divided in countering terrorism. As we have stated in our June statement, while we acknowledge the need to fight terrorism, we find the passage of the bill ill-timed. As our people continue to struggle in coping with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, our attention, efforts, and resources should focus on fighting the virus and in helping our people. Many have died and continue to suffer from the pandemic. Our health systems and personnel are stretched to their limits. Many have lost jobs and are hungry. At this time, our priorities should be shoring up our health system, providing support to our health workers, ensuring food for our communities, stimulating the economy and providing jobs for our people. To be sure, it is our lawmakers’ sworn duty as public servants that these very real and terrifying threats to our health and economy receive more of their dedication and attention than hastily passing a bill that could, with its haphazard construction, wrongly impair sacred constitutional rights.
