TOMAS National President Dear Co-worker in Christ, Together with other General Assembly officers and my fellow bishops along with the National Secretariat, we send you all a joyous Easter greetings and prideful felicitations on the publication of your Membership Book, or the ABKD of your organization. I am doubly happy to know that your book follows the VMG and the Statement of Faith of our beloved UCCP. It will certainly help the nurturing of our youth in their Christian faith, as well as re-enforce their loyalty to Jesus Christ through the UCCP as their church, too. Finally, I send you my best wishes for a more meaningful and reinvigorating National Christian Youth Fellowship. ABKD ng CYF A Resource Book for the Young People of the UCCP Page 2 May you achieve the goals you have set for your organization, knowing that the Lord of life and of our history will abide with you all the way! Very sincerely, BISHO ELIEZER M. PASCUA UCCP General Secretary Message My dearest CYF friends, The long wait is finally over! After a decade of waiting, and months of labor of love, our membership book, the ABKD ng CYF, is here! This book is our humble attempt to capture in one document the long, proud history of the young people of our Church. It is hoped that this book will help us appreciate our rich heritage, learn more deeply about who we are as members of the CYF, and participate more actively in the many ministries of our church. Indeed, the CYF has gone far and beyond through the many years of its journey. It has proven itself as an effective partner of the church and has consistently figured in accompanying the UCCP in standing-up for issues that matter most to the youth and the church as a whole. You will notice that integrated in the book are individual stories of CYF members. We deemed it relevant to include these stories to enrich and further concretize the CYF experience. Further, to expound on the basics of our core doctrines, the CYF Principles had also been dealt with and explored by our theologians - church workers, professors and lay leaders whom we respect and look-up-to. Own the ABKD ng CYF and use it for reference and guidance. It is ours, as it also deeply seeks to embody our ideals and aspirations and truly represent each and every sector of our membership. The journey we have started from long before - through our ever-faithful ates and kuyas, this very same journey continues amidst the prevailing environment of deep-seated poverty, violence and greed, by which we must preach the Good News and act steadfastly on our faith. Together, let us walk through the road ahead with prayer and hope as we further heighten our response towards living and achieving the dream of an abundant life for all, as co-builders of shalom. To each one of you, thank you so much for providing the strong base by which the CYF stands. Remain faithful and steadfast! Finally, it is my prayer that our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our Rock and Friend, may be glorified through this humble work. God bless us all! Sincerely in Christ, SHALOM GRACE A.

Linatoc ABKD ng CYF A Resource Book for the Young People of the UCCP Page 5 There is a notion that being born as a UCCP does not automatically mean that a young person would become an automatic member of the Christian Youth Fellowship. This idea reinforced the thought that the membership in the CYF is voluntary, and therefore requires an application process. The nurturing of the individual young person depends on how the CYF as an organization is consolidated. There is also a notion that membership in the CYF starts when a young person participated in any of the activities organized by the CYF. Again, in this notion, the processes of recruitment and nurturing the young people can be achieved if the membership consolidation program of the young people's organization is defined. In my generation, our elders are always saying that the CYF is the training ground for the future leaders of the church and of the society. This notion, on one hand is an assurance that they are counting the contribution of the young people in the future of the churches; on the other hand it is also underrating the important role of the young people in current affairs of the church and of the society. Especially because there are local churches in which the CYF members are the one leading the Church Council. This increasing role of the young people is posing a greater challenge among the CYF as an organization. The structural, historical, sociopolitical, and economic imbalances of the Philippine society forced some of the young people not to enjoy their rights and privilege for being young. Most of them became part of the underpaid labor force or be part of the decadent sub-culture of the young people. The broken promises of 'globalization' became a nightmare to some young people. The ranks of the young people, who can afford the materialist world of globalization, have the tendency to be engulfed with the virtual reality of unreal situation.

Valentino Sitoy, Jr. United Church of Christ in the Philippines 877 Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, Quezon City 1997 2 FOREWORD This second volume of the UCCP historical heritage continues the story of dedicated Filipinos who envisioned a united Protestant movement in the Philippines. The evangelistic zeal to proclaim Jesus Christ by the different Protestant traditions was unbounded. In their proclamation, five denominations heeded Jesus' prayer that "all may be one" (John 17:21), and the movement towards a united Protestant evangelical organization began to grow. This volume captures the growing pains of the UCCP in its first decade. The author continues to present a dynamic story of the UCCP, of persons both living in memory and in the flesh, and historical events that shaped the Church. This volume reveals an in-depth study and research, of countless interviews and bits of information garnered from ordinary conversations with the people of the church.

  • 2011 Communications
    20 Communications Introduction . E fficient communication systems bridge all sectors making the transfer of communication fast and smooth. It makes communication between individuals and among entities easy and the transfer of information and data speedy and secure. Reliable and efficient communication systems, in effect, can help spur and generate expanded markets for industries and for the country’s economic growth and development. Recognizing this, the Philippine government, through the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), has continued to create and implement programs that will support the demands of the public for a more efficient communications system. Today, the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has advanced quite well marking the government to find needed strategies to promote its sustainable development. Presented in this chapter are data on the telecommunications industry as well as statistics on ICT. Postal services, print media, film industry and advertising services are likewise discussed. 20.1 Telecommunications Development of Telecommunications Telecommunication industry had its beginning in 1867 when the telegraph service was first introduced. The sole telecommunications infrastructure by that time included submarine cables installed by a foreign company, the Royal Telegraph Corporation. These lines connected Manila and Corregidor when the country was then a colony of Spain. Thereafter, submarine cables were extended to other parts of the country. Later in the same year, two other companies forged a 20-year development contract with the Spanish government, linking Manila with Cebu, Bacolod, Capiz, and Iloilo. Shortly after, the country developed overseas connections via submarine cables connecting Bolinao in Pangasinan to Hong Kong. The coming of the Americans in the 1900s improved communication facilities.
