Her mortal remains remind us of a time in the not-so-distant-past when we saw with our own eyes the hand of God in our nation’s history. The biblical stories of old were nothing but myths to me until I saw with my own eyes how tanks can be stopped by unarmed civilians, guns can be silenced with flowers and dictators can flee from the power of prayer.

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!

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).

    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.

  • 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.

Opening of Centenary Celebrations. June 16 in 1911 marked the first day of classes in La Salle College Manila and so this was the designated date for the beginning of the centennial celebrations in the Philippines. The high mass was at the Most Blessed Sacrament Chapel of De La Salle University presided over by Cardinal Gaudencio Rosales and concelebrated by around 20 priests who had some affiliation with La Salle. Homilist was Bishop Chito Tagle. It began with the enshrinement of the relics of the Founder. After mass President Benigno C. Aguino III graced the occasion and gave his remarks to a packed crowd of Filipino Lasallians. Aside from De La Salle University, 16 other La Salle schools in the Philippines had their own opening rites. Check out YouTube videos Community Visits. After the opening of the Centennial year, Br. Thomas and I took the opportunity to do our pastoral visit to some of the communities in the Luzon area. First was De La Salle University Brothers’ Community from the 17th to the 19th of June.
