Pope Francis at Palo, Leyte, Philippines

 

We are all aware that the Eastern Visayas Region in the Philippines, particularly Palo, Leyte was devastated by the Super Typhoon Yolanda last November 8, 2013.  That is the most tragic experience of Paloanons'.  Properties and even some members of the family were lost. 

The whole world heard the people of Palo and showers of blessings came from generous people all over the world.  Now, 1 year later... Palo had recovered from the unforgettable experience. 

Hence, the leader of the Catholic church visited the survivors of Yolanda as messenger of Christ. Pope Francis brought the message of the Lord as Mercy and Compassion and for the government to stop corruption.

This day, January 17, 2015, I saw Pope Francis in person when he went to the Archbishop's Palace located at Brgy. Arado Palo, Leyte which is just near to my parents-in-law's home.  I was blessed by him and my family is really blessed to see him.  I can't explain my feelings.. it just like I saw the Lord Jesus Christ. 

I love you Jesus Christ and I love you Lord!

Pasidungog 2014

 

 

The award was given by the Regional Director of Easter Visayas, Dr. Luisa B. Yu with Dr. Ronelo Al K. Firmo, the Superintendent of Leyte Division and with the two Assistant Superintendents  

 

I received an award of recognition last January 14, 2015 during the Department of Education Division of Leyte Pasidungog 2014.  This is the recognition day for the teaching and non-teaching personnel of the division.  I am so happy and blessed because almost every year I am part of this annual recognition. 

I would like to thank Microsoft Philippines for all the support during the Microsoft in Education Global Forum in Barcelona, Spain.  It was a great experienced and after the forum more opportunities came and are still coming for my career as an educator.  Being a Microsoft Innovative Expert Educator is the reason why I am awarded in the Pasidungog 2014.

This award is a good start for this year 2015.  And I hope God will continue to shower His blessings to my family. 

I hope I can deliver well and perform my commitments to teachers without worries.

Just support me to train teachers with regard to technology integration in education.
