For me, I was hungry for something new in Tagaytay so the moment I saw it, we decided to check out this less than a month old Indian restaurant in Tagaytay. … The place was not ready for prime time since the glass for the railings were not yet complete (they should have installed it because this is for safety of the kids!

…Stanley’s testimony is also supported by 22 bishops and 2 cardinals in the Philippines as well as various Church leaders throughout the world including the late Pope John Paul II (who during his lifetime was promoting the Divine Mercy devotion and fulfilled the vision of Saint Faustina in the 1930s by declaring the first Sunday after Easter as the Divine Mercy Sunday in 2000; Pope John Paul II incidentally died on the eve of the Divine Mercy Sunday in 2005). … In the same way, we should receive the Sacraments through the priest (a sinner ordained by God) who is God’s instrument and view him through his priesthood, not through his sins to receive the graces our Lord wants us to receive.
