UCCP Community Ministry in Smokey Mountain II: Stories of Transformation & Hope… UCCP Community Ministry in Smokey Mountain II: Stories of Transformation & Hope… A Brief Introduction Smokey Mountain II Garbage Dumpsite is located in Tondo, Manila near the North Harbor. It was opened up in 1998 and since then people started moving there because there is money in the garbage. The people in Smokey Mountain (numbering more than 500 families) search through the garbage in order to find items they can sell. This might be old bottles, plastic bags, tin cans or metals. Everyday the people work many hours in the hot sun, amidst thousands of flies, bad smell from the garbage and smoke from fires that have been started in order to get out hidden metals. Usually, after long hours of hard work a family would earn around 150-200 pesos (3-4 US dollars) a day. The dangers of this environment are obvious, especially the threats to the health of the many children. They suffer from chronic lung/breathing and skin diseases. Young at that (ages 5-10 years old) many of them already have to help their parents literally scavenge for food and garbage. Sometimes someone gets pulled over by the garbage trucks or falls of a running truck as what had happened recently to our 8- year old pupil who tragically died in such accident. In addition to that, many of the children are malnourished. Another glaring problem is that school education is inaccessible and unaffordable to most of them. We see these families struggle hard in most hazardous ways in order to simply survive , that The children in front of the school building they don’t bother anymore about the importance of sending their children to school as they consider it an additional financial burden. When the UCCP-Tondo Evangelical Church led by Pastor Rannieh B. Mercado and Chairman Willy Pulia became aware of this challenging situation and in response as well to the appeal of the community for a sustained children’s ministry , a decision arose in January 2008 to build up a Day Care Center at the dumpsite itself so that some of the children would have the chance to study there and get at least formal pre-school education . Since then, classes have been going on and the children are provided with school supplies and materials. We also hope to start a regular feeding program soon. The 50 children are often made part of the congregational life , in occasions such as Christmas, Holy Week or Easter and Church Anniversary. They were also invited to join the Vacation Church School (VCS) at the end of April/ beginning of May, 2008. In July-August 2008 a playground was constructed by the participants of Youth for Children (YfC), a Programme of the United Evangelical Mission. Last December 23, 2008, a contingent of 40 doctors, management staff and personnel from Makati Medical Center (MMC) had conducted a gift giving for Christmas . It was a special Project initiated by Bro. Wily Pulia and MMC Employees Union dubbed “ Pamaskong Handog Para sa mga Maralitang Bata at Pamilya sa Smokey Mountain II” as inspired by the very words of Christ Jesus: “ Whatever you did to the least of mine brethren, you did it to me .” More than 210 families and children were blessed and grateful for such unique act of human solidarity. Also with the combined fund support from friends in Melbourne, Australia, UEM in Germany and UCC-USA, we tendered a joyous 2008 Christmas Eve celebration among the pupils and parents of the Day Care Center through worship, dinner, parlor games and gift packages. There are many future plans for a better service to the children in Smokey Mountain: on 6 February 2009 we are set to take the 50 Day Care pupils to a recreational & educational tour to the Manila Zoo on the occasion of Carolin Bloecher’s 20 th birthday. This will surely be a unique experience for all of them. In April before the start of new classes we plan to enlarge the school Left: Gift Giving on Dec. 23; right: the 50 children from Smokey th buildingMountain to take be readypart in forthe 109the new UCCP students Tondo Church in June. Anniversary, ov. 30, 2009 The Church experiences the truth of what is written in the UCCP’s Vision-Mission: We are committed to pursuing a “transformed church and society towards an abundant and meaningful life for all”. This we experience now: As we stand in solidarity with the people in Smokey Mountain and push for transformation there we ourselves as a church and as individuals are changed and transformed. In the following the stories of two students of the day care center and of one of the teachers are presented in order to show the impact our community ministry has in Smokey Mountain. Stories of Transformation and Hope… Jolina Jolina Caponez is 6 years old and the eighth of 10 children. The oldest one is 20 years old, the youngest only one. Since the death of the father in 2005 her mother (Aileen Duro, 46) struggles to raise 6 of her children who stay with her. The other ones are living with relatives in other parts of the country or are already taking care of themselves. Once, the family lived in Samar Province in Eastern Visayas Island of Central Philippines, but in 1997 they migrated to Manila. When asked about the reasons they said that the opportunities in the countryside are very few. The family farmed a small field in Samar to plant rice and vegetables but their life was very poor and they decided to come to the city in search of a better life. Since their arrival in Manila, Jolina’s family has been living in Smokey Mountain II Garbage Dumpsite. Jolina has been born there and visited Samar Jolina with her famil y in the entrance of th eir house only several few times. For her, the garbage dumpsite is her home place and she never knew another life. The 7 family members live in a little self-made shanty of 5x5m². The family survives by collecting items from the garbage that can be sold to earn money, e.g. plastic bags, bottles, tin cans or metals. The smaller children are not sent to the garbage yet, but the mother and one of her sons aged 16 are working every night. This is better for them because during daytime it is very hot to stay outside in the sun. Every day the two of them are able to collect as much garbage as to earn around 200 Pesos (4 US dollars). From this small money the food and daily needs for 7 persons need to be bought. This helps us to imagine how hard the life of the scavengers in Smokey Mountain is. For Jolina and her family it was a glimpse of hope when the day care center started by UCCP Tondo moved in the dumpsite. With the other children in an activity Since then, Jolina and one of her brothers, Joshua (8), are able to go to school every day and to learn reading, writing, calculating and other helpful things. The children enjoy going to school and are very industrious. Before, they were roaming around and didn’t have much occupation, but now they study daily in the day care center. Jolina’s family is also happy that the school and supplies are free for the children. They could not afford to send Jolina and Joshua to a regular school where they would have to pay tuition fees. Since the start of classes last year a lot seems to have changed in the lives of the two children. They have learnt to imagine many plans for the future and are excited to grow up productively. Jolina wants to become a teacher to help other children to study and Joshua likes to be a policeman (“to arrest bad people” ). Talents that had not been recognized before are now being explored and enhanced. Jolina is only 6 years old, but she seems to be born to be a speaker. During activities in the church she already had opportunities to show this. Jolina says : “Ang ganda ng day care center kasi pwuedeng magaaral ang mga bata at libre naman!” – “The day care center is really great because many children can study now and it’s for free!” Their mother adds that she hopes that the day care center stays in Smokey Mountain so that more children have the opportunity to study. For Giving a testimony during UCCP her own children she wishes that they finish Tondo’s Church Anniversary their studies because education is most important for a good future. If Jolina and Joshua have an opportunity to continue their studies they will later on be able to care for their whole family. For us in UCCP Tondo Evangelical Church, our common hope is that those children study hard and don’t lose their dreams for a better future. We deeply wish that their lives can be further changed and that they understand the message we want to bring to them: It is the message of transformation and hope. Our motivation for joining in the struggle of the people in Smokey Mountain is our faith in Jesus Christ, who was the first one to tell this message of transformation to us. Rolly Rolly Espinocilla is one of the students of UCCP Tondo’s day care center in Smokey Mountain II. He is 10 years old and deaf. His mother Merly (34) and his father Romy Espinocilla (29) have another 12-year-old son, Arniel, who is also studying in the day care center, and a baby of 3 weeks.

  • Building Techniques in Baroque Manila As a Global Technical Transfer
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 Building Techniques in Baroque Manila as a Global Technical Transfer Pedro Luengoi Introduction Architecture, whether in its decorative, technical or spatial features, can be considered a good starting point to analyze the globalization phenomenon of the Early Modern Period. The scarcity or absence of European professionals and materials forced the developers to encourage architectonic hybridization. Gradually, these patterns, as the result of the coexistence of diverse building traditions, were accepted as idiosyncrasies of the local societies. Obviously, during more than three centuries of European presence in Asia, Africa and America, a deep cultural and technical transfer developed. A highly significant sample of this phenomenon in the early eighteenth century is Manila. Sixteenth- to eighteenth-century Philippine Architecture is heir to many and diverse traditionsii . The aforementioned vary all the way from the palm, bamboo and wood-based tradition to the Novo-Hispanic, a Spanish-centered yet mediated style. In between is an array of Far-Eastern influences, most notably Chinese. All influences are essential for the comprehension of the Philippine Architectural identityiii.. Said synthesis of influences is reflected, one way or another, in the process undertaken in the course of the construction of most of its works. The sangleys, as the Chinese residents in the capital were referred to, were in control of the supply of most of the architectonic materialsiv . This notwithstanding, Philippine historiography has remained silent on the matter. Instead it has opted to highlight other influences, such as the incorporation of the octagonal shape.

  • Nytårsrejsen Til Filippinerne – 2014
    Nytårsrejsen til Filippinerne – 2014. Martins Dagbog Dorte og Michael kørte os til Kastrup, og det lykkedes os at få en opgradering til business class - et gammelt tilgodebevis fra lidt lægearbejde på et Singapore Airlines fly. Vi fik hilst på vore 16 glade gamle rejsevenner ved gaten. Karin fik lov at sidde på business class, mens jeg sad på det sidste sæde i økonomiklassen. Vi fik julemad i flyet - flæskesteg med rødkål efterfulgt af ris á la mande. Serveringen var ganske god, og underholdningen var også fin - jeg så filmen "The Hundred Foot Journey", som handlede om en indisk familie, der åbner en restaurant lige overfor en Michelin-restaurant i en mindre fransk by - meget stemningsfuld og sympatisk. Den var instrueret af Lasse Hallström. Det tog 12 timer at flyve til Singapore, og flyet var helt fuldt. Flytiden mellem Singapore og Manila var 3 timer. Vi havde kun 30 kg bagage med tilsammen (12 kg håndbagage og 18 kg i en indchecket kuffert). Jeg sad ved siden af en australsk student, der skulle hjem til Perth efter et halvt år i Bergen. Hans fly fra Lufthansa var blevet aflyst, så han havde måttet vente 16 timer i Københavns lufthavn uden kompensation. Et fly fra Air Asia på vej mod Singapore forulykkede med 162 personer pga. dårligt vejr. Miriams kuffert var ikke med til Manilla, så der måtte skrives anmeldelse - hun fik 2200 pesos til akutte fornødenheder. Vi vekslede penge som en samlet gruppe for at spare tid og gebyr - en $ var ca. 45 pesos. Vi kom i 3 minibusser ind til Manila Hotel, hvor det tog 1,5 time at checke os ind på 8 værelser.

Valentino Sitoy, Jr. United Church of Christ in the Philippines FOREWORD To capture in print a history of a people in their faith journey is itself a miracle! Indeed, it is the work of the Holy Spirit manifesting itself in the ingenuity and intellect of church scholars, such as this particular author. To be able to delve into the peculiarities of each of the uniting churches - each with its own particular historical journey - and weave them into one fabric of a United Church of Christ in the Philippines is indeed a work of genius. Leaping out of the pages are familiar names of persons, places and events as the stories of each of the denominational springs flow into the one stream of a church body, losing themselves into the one body. And as the names are read again and again, by individuals and groups of this volume, they will come to life and bring back memories of the many pioneers of the United Church of Christ in the Philippines, without whom we will not be what we are today, nor hope to be what we ought to be, in the future.

  • Holy Week Rituals in the Philippines from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, Here's How the Catholic Faithful in the Philippines Observe the Holy Week
    Overview: Holy Week rituals in the Philippines From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, here's how the Catholic faithful in the Philippines observe the Holy Week Michael Bueza Published 1:18 PM, Apr 03, 2015 Updated 1:45 PM, Apr 03, 2015 MANILA, Philippines – The Holy Week (or Mahal na Araw ) features the story of Jesus Christ's passion, death, and resurrection. The different levels of devotion of the Catholic faithful are visible this week, as they reflect on the agony and sacrifice of the Son of God to deliver the world from sin. Here's a quick overview of rites and rituals during Holy Week in the Philippines. Palm Sunday In the morning of Palm Sunday, churches reenact the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem, days before his Passion on the cross. In churches like the Mary Mirror of Justice Parish (MMJP) in Comembo, Makati City, for instance, a Palm Sunday celebration starts with a procession called latag or laying a thing (like a a cloth) on the floor. Pieces of cloth are laid on the priest's path as he makes his way to the church for Mass. Meanwhile, the parishioners wave their palaspas or palm fronds, which the priest blesses. The palm fronds are brought home by churchgoers. Meanwhile, the pabasa or the chanting in public of the Pasyon – a 16th to 17th century epic poem narrating the life of Jesus Christ from birth to resurrection – also begins during the Holy Week (or sometimes earlier in some areas). Maundy Thursday Holy Thursday starts with the "Chrism mass," where the Chrism oil – used during baptism, confirmation rites, and the anointing of the sick – is blessed.
