Today, the celebration will start with a Eucharistic celebration at the Immaculate Conception Metropolitan Cathedral while the post-prandial speeches will be done at the Capiz Gymnasium during the luncheon program.

By JOSEPH G. LARIOSA
CHICAGO (jGLi) – The Disaster in Japan is by no means a devastating event that would be the last thing anybody would ever want to have.
As misfortunes go, this will probably be one of those moments that will melt everybody’s heart and would prompt us to extend whatever help we can give.

Mar 18, 2011 - Friday Meditation (His Plan of Mercy!)
We often times reason that as long as we keep the good deeds (credits) ahead of the evil deeds (debits) we ought to be God’s special chosen ones for eternal glory. This is the human way of reasoning which people believe would be more fair. It might be true in the human way of justice but it’s far from God’s plan of mercy. Do I indeed derive any pleasure from the death of the wicked? “says the Lord God.” Do I not r... Continue reading...

Nuclear Energy is
Not the Way!
By Partido Kalikasan
PARTIDO KALIKASAN would like to
convey our deepest condolences and sympathy to all the victims of the recent
natural disaster in Japan. The meltdown of Fukushima nuclear power plant north
of Tokyo on the other hand is far from completely being a natural disaster.
This is bad human judgment to opt for nuclear energy despite all its inherent
dangers. The current disaster has raised serious threat not only to Japanese
citizens but also to huma...
