Discounted Pulmonary Function Test
Dear Brethren,
Dr. Ephraim Rubiano, Senior Demolay of Mt. Samat #104 (Orani, Bataan) would like to invite the chronic smokers in our group or those with loved ones who are chronic smokers to undergo a pulmonary function testing through his spirometry machine.
The said test can help you identify if you already have a serious lung condition. If you take the said test at St. Luke's it would cost you around P2,500. With Dr. Rubiano, he can offer it for only less than P1,000. Interested parties may call/text him at 4676497, 4410456 or 09215816417.
Regards,
Joel Serate Ferrer

Support for 2010
My Dear Brethren,
May the Peace of the Great Architect of the Universe be with you!
I have no doubt in my mind that the Lord has all the while been preparing me for public service . I was left for dead in 1989, and He allowed me to spring back to life. I have been imprisoned as a soldier, but I fully regained the honor and right to wear a soldier´s uniform after having been awarded the Medal of Valor in 2001.
As my military career was very much back on track, I was again challenged to choose between right and wrong, between honor and injustice, between good and evil. Even as we all work for a vibrant and prosperous Philippines, my dream is for every Filipino to enjoy the essence of freedom from poverty, fear, and injustice; to feel the tangible benefits of good governance, and to live comfortably in a society that fosters the unity of the family, respects human rights, and upholds the dignity of all.
I have not had an easy life. My life story has been replete with vivid encounters and painful experiences that have shaped this dream. I am fully aware that some people would insist that men in uniform should stay away from politics; that we would serve best our nation if we were fighting wars in Mindanao; that we have no business in meddling with the affairs of the state as we have been formed and trained in the rudiments of war, and not in the civil service, much less in politics.
I agree - but that assumes that the people who have been entrusted with the public trust have been sincere, honest, and have been true to their pledges. As a young soldier, armed with idealism and the fire of youth, I have offered my life to defend this country from ALL its enemies.
I have suffered long and hard for the principles that I hold dearly. Many of my loved ones have suffered with me - maybe not physically, but certainly have shared in the misery and hardships that I have endured. The fire of idealism still burns in me, but I have been wiser not to engage fire with fire.
I am running for the senate in 2010. I have no political pedigree. I have no political machinery. I have no financial resources. But I do have honor. I do have principles. I do have courage. I believe I am ready to take on this new role, with your support this dream is not too farfetched. It takes the collective effort of every member of this society to make things improve for a country in disarray... a country that has been plundered... a country whose hope is running dry... All I can do, on my end, is to make the best effort possible to make society better, stand by my principles, and fight for what is right. There is hope for this country and our people, all we have to do is believe. This I will do, if not for myself and our generation, then at least for my young children and their children.
My fraternal regards to all.
Sincerely yours and Mabuhay ang Pilipinas,
BRO ARIEL O QUERUBIN
