Jaime Cardinal Sin







Jaime Lachica Sin (August 31, 1928 â€" June 21, 2005) (Chinese name: 辛海æ¢...; 辛海棉 XÄ«n HÇŽiméi; XÄ«n HÇŽimián), was a Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila known for his instrumental role in the People Power Revolution, which toppled the regime of Ferdinand Marcos and installed Corazon Aquino as president of the Philippines. During his reign, he was considered an influential and charismatic leader of the Filipino people having led another "people power" in 2001. He died at the age of 76 on 21 June 2005 due to complications to the kidney as a result of diabetes.

Cardinal Sin was only the third native Filipino Archbishop of Manila, following centuries of Spanish, American and Irish episcopacy. He led the Archdiocese of Manila as its archbishop and was made cardinal by Pope Paul VI. As Archbishop of Manila, he was widely considered Primate of the Philippines, though no formal dignity has ever been attached to the archdiocese. He retired as the Archbishop of Manila on 15 September 2003, having reached the age of retirement for bishops under Canon Law, and was succeeded by Gaudencio Rosales.

Sin was decorated three times by the Philippine government. The first was by President Corazon C. Aquino, who conferred him with the Philippine Legion of Honor, rank of Chief Commander; the second, by President Joseph Estrada, who conferred on him the Order of Sikatuna, rank of Rajah; the final time was shortly after his retirement, when President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo conferred on him the Order of Lakandula, rank of Bayani (Grand Cross).

Sin was born in New Washington, Aklan, Philippines to Juan Sin (of Chinese ancestry) and Máxima Lachica (of Aklanon ancestry). He was the seventh of sixteen children. He eventually left his childhood home and his family to study in St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary, and was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Jaro on 3 April 1954. He was the first rector of St. Pius X Seminary in Lawaan Hills, Roxas City, Capiz. He was appointed auxiliary bishop of Jaro on 10 February 1967, and was ordained as bishop of the titular see of Obba on 18 March of that year. On 15 March 1972, Sin was appointed Coadjutor Archbishop of Jaro, taking on administrative roles in the archdiocese, while holding the titular see of Massa Lubrense. On 8 October 1972, Sin was appointed Archbishop of Jaro, taking full control of the archdiocese.

Ube, the Sacred Food of the Boholanos
     by fdaray

Ube is one of the tubers or yam that grows abundantly and harvested in December in
Bohol. After the harvest, the rootcrops are inspected and those with bolo cuts and
bruises were used first for food as substitute for rice and corn. The rest are stored for
family consumption anytime during the year. Ubi planting goes back in June. There are
many varities of ube like kabus-ok, tam-isan, kabawoy, liko , binanag and the famous
purple-violet kinampay, the king of ube.

Ube is the main staple rootcrops of the Boholanos and venerated as sacred crop since
the ancient times.   During a famine that happened   long befor the coming  of the
Spaniards, it is said that the ube was the only crop grew in Bohol and saved the people
from extreme hunger and death.That is why they had a great respect for it and why it
is the only staple food mentioned in the Bohol Hym. At this time, the  Boholanos started
to honor by having  an Ube Festival in January. They had  also the Miss Ube Beauty
Pageant. You can see displays of different ube varities with different sizes and an award
is given to the biggest ube.

Tagged as one of the countrys' five crops for export by the Department of Trade and
Industry, the demand of ube continues to grow. Here and abroad, it is being marketed
in powdered form, puree, dried chips, cubes, syrup and for ice cream, the famous purpled
'kinampay'.

When one speak of Ube to a Boholano, there is always a story to tell.  When a person
accidentaly drop an ube  to the ground or floor, they say an apology saying "puyra gaba,
wala nako tuyoa" and kiss it as a sign of reverence and love.

The Boholanos believed that Ube was the  special food given to them by Bathala, the
Supreme Creator. It was the food that saved them from extreme famine when a drought
happened long time ago.



Mr. Daray,

I did not know that you posted this some 3 years ago. I just recently read this post of yours today and would like to extend gratitude for your article.

Ube, definitely is a great food product. When I was in Bohol last year, I had my share of Ube Jam as well as Ube Ice Cream.

Salamat Kaayo!

A good family friend, Dr. Plinio Lim, a former Mayor of Valencia, shared some very warm stories with me concerning my great-grandfather, and my grandmother. After I was introduced to Dr. Lim by way of another family friend, Mr. Jan Palaca, I was amazed that Mayor Lim said to me, "Ondoy Bran, kahibalo ba ka sa imong Lolo Mariano?"

I smiled. Of course I knew, however, I was delighted to know more about him from another viewpoint. So I replied, "Oh, pero gamay lang..."

He said to me, as he put his arm on my shoulder, his eyes looking at mine, "Your Lolo Mariano was pure Chinese. You know that? He was from Guangdong. Strikto kaayo to imong Lolo."

Ning katawa ko. I replied back, "Mao ba diay?"

"Oo! Strikto to siya." "Do you know that when your Lola Nating was younger..she was very beautiful? Pure Chinese beauty...Pure Chinese beauty..." hahaha I could not help but smile when he said that.

It was apparent that close diay to ang pamilya ni Dr. Plinio Lim ni Lolo Mariano. In fact, Dr. Guido Lim and Dr. Plinio Lim were close friends with my Lola.

Dr. Plinio Lim shared more stories with me....it is really amazing how much  you learn about your family just by going back to your hometown. Amazing, truly.

Chinese Filial Kowtow


This is an example, an illustration, of what kowtow looks like. It is a sign of complete obeisance, and filial respect, and love.
#18315
In the early 1930's, Lolo Mariano took the entire family back with him to Guangzhou, China. When I was talking to my Lola Babing about this , I asked her how the climate was like, how the environment in China was like compared to Bohol. Her response to me was, "Daghan kaayo og tawo didto, Ondoy. Ang mga tawo didto sa village ni Papa, puro sila tanan og TAN. Paryente sila namo."

So i asked her if she was able to see her grandparents, the mother and father of Lolo Mariano. Naka kita siya nila kono. When Lolo Mariano returned to China in the early 1930's, his father was already old, as so was his mother. When Lolo met his father for the first time since he left China in 1903, he kowtowed to his father and mother. Kowtow is the act of bowing / kneeling before the parent in act of reverence and filial piety. It was an ancient Chinese custom.

Lolo introduced his Filipino wife to his parents as well as his children. Strikto kono to ang Papa ni Lolo Mariano, pero ang Mama niya, dali kono to siya mo kogos sa mga bata. The favorite of Lolo Mariano's father was Ceciliano Tan, a boy. Ceciliano Tan was the younger brother of my maternal grandmother, Fortunata Tan.

After 4 years in China, the family returned back to Valencia, Bohol. When I asked Lola Babing why they returned back to Valencia, she cited the main reason was that her mother was becoming really homesick. For the sake of his wife, Mariano Tan, bid a final farewell to his mother and father and extend relatives, and brought his family back to Valencia, Bohol.

#18316
Back in January 1998, my Lola Babing (Mrs. Balbina Tan-Salingay) told me about the time when she was only 4-5 years old. She remembered the time where Lolo Mariano carried a bell to the top of the Valencia Church bell tower all by himself. As he was a friend of the church priest at the time. This was during the late 1920's - early 1930's.

It was really amazing to talk to Lola Babing (the younger sister of my maternal grand mother, Fortunata Tan-Salvo) about the yesteryears. In the time that she stayed with us, I was given information of how Lolo worked, what his personality was like. He was adamant kono that they all know how to speak, and write in Chinese (Cantonese). Sa balay nila, dili kono mo sulti si Lolo Mariano og Bisaya, Cantonese ra gajud.

Naka katawa ko kai it was so hardcore that the kids (Fortunata, Ceciliano, Balbina) would sometimes speak Cantonese when they were at school. Lola Babing told me that when she and my Lola Nating were in Valencia Elementary sa una, the kids would tease them kai inchik sila and inchikon ilang nawong. Not to mention, that they had a Chinese father. I asked Lola Babing why this was--and she explained to me that during the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's etc, the Filipino people looked down on Chinese kono.

Mo hilak daw kono si Lola Nating og si Lola Babing after school kai the local kids would tease them and say things like, 'Baho Inchik', 'Inchik Mata'.

They would cry to their father. Lolo Mariano told them as he dried their eyes, "Do not ever be ashamed of being Chinese. Be proud that you are Chinese. Just ignore them, and continue to study..."

Powerful. Talk about resilience...

History / The Qianlong Emperor
November 16, 2011, 12:15:18 AM


The Qianlong Emperor (乾隆帝) (born Hongli, September 25, 1711 â€" February 7, 1799) was the fifth emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the fourth Qing emperor to rule over China. The fourth son of the Yongzheng Emperor (雍正帝), he reigned officially from October 18, 1735 to February 9, 1796, at which point he abdicated in favor of his son, the Jiaqing Emperor (嘉æ...¶å¸ the sixth emperor), in order to fulfill a filial pledge not to reign longer than his grandfather, the illustrious Kangxi Emperor (康熙帝, the second Qing emperor). Despite his retirement, he retained ultimate power until his death in 1799.

During the reign of the Qianlong Emperor, China attained its maximum territorial expanse; Xinjiang in the west was conquered, and Myanmar and Annam in the south were forced to recognize Chinese suzerainty. Commerce continued to thrive, handicraft industries prospered, and painting, printmaking, and porcelain manufacture flourished.

Anonymous Diary Blog / SUSCIPE
November 15, 2011, 10:49:07 AM



Suscipe (from the Latin word “receive”) is a short but powerful prayer attributed to St. Ignatius Loyola (pictured above). It can be found towards the end of his Spiritual Exercises, first published in the 16th century. He designed this work, still popular today both for retreats and private use, to bring souls closer to God through a series of meditations and prayers.

St. Ignatius, one of the outstanding figures of our faith, helped found the Society of Jesus in the 16th century to serve the pope and the Church through education and missionary work. This religious order, better known as the Jesuits, still exists today. Note the moving simplicity that underlies this “surrender” to God:

Take, O Lord, and receive my entire liberty, my memory, my understanding and my whole will. All that I am and all that I possess, Thou hast given me: I surrender it all to Thee to be disposed of according to Thy will. Give me only Thy love and Thy grace; with these I will be rich enough and will desire nothing more. Amen.

Ninth Day

"Today bring to Me the Souls who have become Lukewarm, and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. These souls wound My Heart most painfully. My soul suffered the most dreadful loathing in the Garden of Olives because of lukewarm souls. They were the reason I cried out: 'Father, take this cup away from Me, if it be Your will.' For them, the last hope of salvation is to run to My mercy."

Most compassionate Jesus, You are Compassion Itself. I bring lukewarm souls into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart. In this fire of Your pure love, let these tepid souls who, like corpses, filled You with such deep loathing, be once again set aflame. O Most Compassionate Jesus, exercise the omnipotence of Your mercy and draw them into the very ardor of Your love, and bestow upon them the gift of holy love, for nothing is beyond Your power.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon lukewarm souls who are nonetheless enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. Father of Mercy, I beg You by the bitter Passion of Your Son and by His three-hour agony on the Cross: Let them, too, glorify the abyss of Your mercy. Amen.

I came by this beautiful biblical verse today and was compelled to share it with you all. So remember, dear friends, brothers and sisters of the faith, don't cower, don't falter in fighting and defending the Truth in Faith in Jesus Christ. I am compelled to say that in today's time, it is almost 'uncool' for defending and standing up for the Christian Faith, else be labeled "too conservative" or "too zealous". Nonesense.

How sweet it is to the Lord God In Heaven when you proclaim your love and faith to Him and to Call on the Name of his Beloved Son, Jesus Christ.  To everyone, have a blessed Sunday and a blessed week. Keep on pushing forward this week, despite any personal and occupational differences / difficulties. May God strengthen us all this week, and may He always guide us..despite our own failings and difficulties...I ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen

The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert, so that the devil could test him.  After Jesus had gone without eating for forty days and nights, he was very hungry.  Then the devil came to him and said, "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread."

Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say: 'No one can live only on food.  People need every word that God has spoken.' "

Next, the devil took Jesus to the holy city and had him stand on the highest part of the temple.  The devil said, "If you are God's Son, jump off.  The Scriptures say: 'God will give his angels orders about you.  They will catch you in their arms, and you won't hurt your feet on the stones.' "

Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, 'Don't try to test the Lord your God!' "

Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power.  The devil said to him, "I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me."

Jesus answered, "Go away Satan!  The Scriptures say: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only HIM.' "

Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.

Eighth Day

"Today bring to Me the Souls who are in the prison of Purgatory,

and immerse them in the abyss of My mercy. Let the torrents of My Blood cool down their scorching flames. All these souls are greatly loved by Me. They are making retribution to My justice. It is in your power to bring them relief. Draw all the indulgences from the treasury of My Church and offer them on their behalf. Oh, if you only knew the torments they suffer, you would continually offer for them the alms of the spirit and pay off their debt to My justice." 


Most Merciful Jesus, You Yourself have said that You desire mercy; so I bring into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls in Purgatory, souls who are very dear to You, and yet, who must make retribution to Your justice. May the streams of Blood and Water which gushed forth from Your Heart put out the flames of Purgatory, that there, too, the power of Your mercy may be celebrated.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls suffering in Purgatory, who are enfolded in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. I beg You, by the sorrowful Passion of Jesus Your Son, and by all the bitterness with which His most sacred Soul was flooded: Manifest Your mercy to the souls who are under Your just scrutiny. Look upon them in no other way but only through the Wounds of Jesus, Your dearly beloved Son; for we firmly believe that there is no limit to Your goodness and compassion. Amen.

In 2003, Lolo came to USA and lived with us for 2 years. During this time, we were able to bond and talk. I remember when I was helping him up to my room and talked to him -- catching up with him after almost 5 years of absence. Ingon si lolo nako, "Ondoy, sa una, gamay pa ka, ako man mo kogos nimo. Karon, daku na ka. Ako tigulang na. Ikaw na mo kogos sa imong lolo.."

My eyes looking directly at his eyes. At this, tears rolled down my cheeks, as did for Lolo's. My beloved Lolo...

Seventh Day

Today bring to Me the Souls who especially venerate and glorify My Mercy*, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls sorrowed most over my Passion and entered most deeply into My spirit. They are living images of My Compassionate Heart. These souls will shine with a special brightness in the next life. Not one of them will go into the fire of hell. I shall particularly defend each one of them at the hour of death.

Most Merciful Jesus, whose Heart is Love Itself, receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart the souls of those who particularly extol and venerate the greatness of Your mercy. These souls are mighty with the very power of God Himself. In the midst of all afflictions and adversities they go forward, confident of Your mercy; and united to You, O Jesus, they carry all mankind on their shoulders. These souls will not be judged severely, but Your mercy will embrace them as they depart from this life.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon the souls who glorify and venerate Your greatest attribute, that of Your fathomless mercy, and who are enclosed in the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls are a living Gospel; their hands are full of deeds of mercy, and their hearts, overflowing with joy, sing a canticle of mercy to You, O Most High! I beg You O God:

Show them Your mercy according to the hope and trust they have placed in You. Let there be accomplished in them the promise of Jesus, who said to them that during their life, but especially at the hour of death, the souls who will venerate this fathomless mercy of His, He, Himself, will defend as His glory. Amen.



    *The text leads one to conclude that in the first prayer directed to Jesus, Who is the Redeemer, it is "victim" souls and contemplatives that are being prayed for; those persons, that is, that voluntarily offered themselves to God for the salvation of their neighbor (see Col 1:24; 2 Cor 4:12). This explains their close union with the Savior and the extraordinary efficacy that their invisible activity has for others. In the second prayer, directed to the Father from whom comes "every worthwhile gift and every genuine benefit,"we recommend the "active" souls, who promote devotion to The Divine Mercy and exercise with it all the other works that lend themselves to the spiritual and material uplifting of their brethren.

Sixth Day



Today bring to Me the Meek and Humble Souls and the Souls of  Little Children, and immerse them in My mercy. These souls most closely resemble My Heart. They strengthened Me during My bitter agony. I saw them as earthly Angels, who will keep vigil at My altars. I pour out upon them whole torrents of grace. I favor humble souls with My confidence.   


Most Merciful Jesus, You yourself have said, "Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart." Receive into the abode of Your Most Compassionate Heart all meek and humble souls and the souls of little children. These souls send all heaven into ecstasy and they are the heavenly Father's favorites. They are a sweet-smelling bouquet before the throne of God; God Himself takes delight in their fragrance. These souls have a permanent abode in Your Most Compassionate Heart, O Jesus, and they unceasingly sing out a hymn of love and mercy.

Eternal Father, turn Your merciful gaze upon meek souls, upon humble souls, and upon little children who are enfolded in the abode which is the Most Compassionate Heart of Jesus. These souls bear the closest resemblance to Your Son. Their fragrance rises from the earth and reaches Your very throne. Father of mercy and of all goodness, I beg You by the love You bear these souls and by the delight You take in them: Bless the whole world, that all souls together may sing out the praises of Your mercy for endless ages. Amen.
