  • MINOR BASILICA of OUR LADY of the ROSARY of MANAOAG Manaoag, Pangasinan 2430 Philippines
    MINOR BASILICA OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY OF MANAOAG Manaoag, Pangasinan 2430 Philippines April 16, 2020 His Excellency, The Most Reverend Socrates B. Villegas Archbishop of Lingayen Dagupan Dear Archbishop Soc, Happy Fiesta! This pandemic has disrupted many aspects of our lives. While it presses to test our resiliency and strength of character, our community at Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag continues to innovate ways to meaningfully sustain our traditions. For this reason, we are happy to inform you that we plan to continue with the Misa de Gracia practice, albeit with modifications. Herewith is the content of the letter we intend to communicate to Parish Priests of ALD. Apo Baket and Misa De Gracia: Testament to Unending Grace and Manifestation of eternal gratitude Misa de Gracia literally means thanksgiving mass. In Pangasinan, Philippines, particularly in the Archdiocese of Lingayen Dagupan, this tradition is an annual act of communal thanksgiving for all the graces received through the intercession of Apo Baket. Celebrated during the month of May, parishes organize a pilgrimage of their parishioners to the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag and culminates in a mass presided by their respective Parish Priests. The month of May is traditionally known as “Mary’s Month” and in the Philippines, this is also typically the harvest season. Hence, the connection between harvest and thanksgiving (harvest offering) underpins the meaning of Misa de Gracia. Although, agricultural in its beginnings, Misa de Gracia is a communal thanksgiving mass for all the graces that devotees of Apo Baket receive from God through her maternal intercession.

Tubeza SHE has forgiven her former employer but justice should take its course. Indonesian domestic worker Erwiana Sulistyaningsih said her former employer should receive “the maximum sentence” after the District Court found her guilty in a case that sparked international outrage. Speaking to reporters after the court verdict came out on February 10, Erwiana said Law Wan-tung, 45 and a mother of two, should be jailed for life after she was convicted in 18 out of 20 charges which included assault, criminal intimidation, and failure to pay Erwiana’s salary and to allow her holidays. “As a human being, I could forgive her and her family but since Hong Kong has a justice system, justice must be upheld. I hope Law Wan-tung will receive the max- imum sentence; even though for me, that is still not enough compared to what she did to me and the other victims,” Erwiana said. “For me personally, she should receive life imprisonment for what she did, and for the fact that she does not have any remorse for her past actions while also teaching her children to lie for her,” she said.
