Q - May umutang po sa aming mag-asawa ng 70K. May PDC pa pong pambayad dated last year pa. Kaso, nung oras na to encash teh check, tumalbog po. Nagbayad lang po ng pakonti-konti, pero malaki pa ang kulang. Lately, sa patuloy naming paniningil dahil kailangang-kailangan na namin yung bayad, nagalit po. Halos i-curse kami at makakarma daw kami dahil wala kaming puso sa paniningil sa kanya?
Bad po ba kami sa paniningil?
Saan po kami nagkamali?
A -
Not bad, kasi utang naman yung sinisingil nyo.
Kaya lang, kung naghulog naman ay hindi lang mabuo ang bayad dahil walang pera, ano ang magagawa nyo?
Siguro aburido na kaya sya pa ang nagagalit?
Baka gipit na gipit?
Saan ka mo kayo nagkamali?
Sa pagpapautang ng perang kailangang-kailangan nyo rin pala agad.
Siempre, ang pagpapautang ay may risk.
At ang nangungutang ay obviously walang pera, gipit, ubos na ang personal resources kaya umabot na sa pag-utang.
So be ready for the possibility na talagang di sila makabayad on time.
Q - May maliit po kaming restaurant. Pag po medyo hapon o gabi na, ang tatamad na ng mga tauhan. Para pong hindi na welcome sa kanila ang mga customer. Poor service na po.
Ano po ang magandang gawin para sumipag sila?
A -
Pagod na kasi pag hapon o gabi na kaya tamad na.
At sa kanilang limited point of view, kahit naman kasi dumami ang customer ay walang direct benefit to them.
Incentivize!
Magbigay ka ng premyo sa kanila pag dumarami o sa bawat nadadagdag na customers after a certain cut-off time.
Halimabawa, after 5pm, sa bawat additional 50 customers ay may
P500 silang paghahati-hatian bilang bonus!
Next 50 additional customers, another P500 for them.
Ganun.
Bahala ka na sa actual amount.
Ang mahalaga, makita nilang sila ay nakikinabang sa bawat dagdag na customer. Hindi lang additional pagod ang napapala nila.
Sisipag ang mga yan, makita mo.
Baka nga manghila pa ng mga dumadaang tao para mapakain ang mga ito sa resto nyo!
TRUGGLE WITH ONE'S PERSONALITY
Q - Matagal na po akong Christian pero kahit gaanong pagsisikap ko ay may hindi mabago at maiba sa aking pagkatao na itinuturo ng church namin ay masama at dapat baguhin. Talaga pong todo ang pagsisikap kong baguhin ang bahaging iyon ng personality ko pero ang ending lang po ay frustration, guilt, shame, fear, self-rejection and hypocrisy kasi ay itinatago ko na lang tuloy ang totoo kong pagkatao na ayon sa teachings ay not the standard. Sa simula pa lang ay alam kong ganito na ako at ginawa ko na lahat-lahat para mabago dahil nga sa demonization, rejection, ridicule, and all other negative things attendant to my personality. Worse, ako pa ang nasisisi sa ganitong sitwasyon na di ko naman nilikha o pinili. Sino ba naman ang kusang pipili na maging "less than standard" para lang maging talung-talo sa treatment ng marami?
I'm tired of trying to be sobody or something else other that who and what I really am. I'm tired of hiding, na lumala lang ng naging chuch member ako kasi at hindi ako tinatangap ng sarili kong church.
Bakit po kahit anong dasal at pagsisikap magbago ay hindi pa rin ako maging ideal/standard samatalang yung marami ay napaka effortless nila at natural na natural na ideal/standard na agad sila without even trying? How can I be like everyone else? Or what should I do to suffer less?
Q - Ang character na tao ay bunga ng dalawang major factors: 1.NATURE and 2. NURTURE.
Kung ang personality ay galing sa 2. NURTURE (meaning training, education, bringing up, environtment, etc.) ay puede itong maiba with retraining, reeducation, reconditioning and change of environment, etc. Pero siempre, mahirap at matagal na process ito at puedeng hindi maging 100% ang reshaping kasi may mga habits ng nabuo na overtime.
Kung ang personality naman ay galing sa NATURE (meaning genetic, in-born, likas) ay hindi yun mababago ng kahit anumang pagpipilit kasi nga ay likas.
Jeremiah 13:23 (CEV)
23 Can you ever change...?
Can people change the color
of their skin,
or can a leopard
remove its spots?

What is natural/genetic/inborn cannot be changed. It is only to be accepted. At best, it could only be modifed slightly.
Ang pagpipilit baguhin ito ay magbubunga lang ng sobrang inner struggle and conflict, frustration, feeling of failure, anguish, pain and suffering. Dapat lang itong tanggapin.

Kung ang personality naman ay in-born/natural na nga tapos ay sobra pang nadevelop by nurture, kung babaguhin ang nurture ay puedeng may maiba ng konti sa outward behavior, actions and habits of the person (kaya akala ng outsider-obeservers ay nagbago na nga yung tao, pero yung inner, genetic nature nya ay di pa rin mababago.)
Ang mahalaga ay self-aceptance ng may katawan at acceptance sa iba kung sila ay ganyan.

On the issue of personality, Jesus was once asked why some men do not/cannot have sexual relations with women. (So the question was about sexual personality/identity) He answered:
Matthew 19:11-12 (NIV)
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others —and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
In others words, Jesus says:
11 ... “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given.
= UNDERSTANDING THIS REALITY REQUIRES SPIRITUAL/SUPERNATUAL REVELATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT. Not everyone will see it this way.
Matthew 19:11-12 (NIV)
11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others —and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven.

= UNDERSTANDING THIS REALITY REQUIRES SPIRITUAL/SUPERNATUAL REVELATION AND ENLIGHTENMENT. Not everyone will see it this way.
"For there are eunuchs who were born that way"
= NATURE, GENES, IN-BORN FACTORS not chosen by the individual and cannot be changed. Why blame people if they were "born that way"?
= NATURE, GENES, IN-BORN FACTORS not chosen by the individual and cannot be changed. Why blame people if they were "born that way"?
"and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others" = NURTURE / CONDITIONING/ASSIGNEMNT BY THE ENVIRONMENT. This may ba changed, up to a point.
" —and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven."
= PERSONAL CHOICE, MAY be changed by the changing of one's mind.
= PERSONAL CHOICE, MAY be changed by the changing of one's mind.
"The one who can accept this should accept it.”
= This reality/truth will be accepted by those who have the spiritual gift/enlightenment to understand it. (Those who are not gifted can't/won't accept it.)
= This reality/truth will be accepted by those who have the spiritual gift/enlightenment to understand it. (Those who are not gifted can't/won't accept it.)
Change for the better what can be changed. Work hard at it.
Meanwhile, do not kill yourself or others tryng to change what is genetic and in-born. God created all people, and every in-born trait could only by caused and given the Creator.

Psalm 139:13-16 (NIV)
13 For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

Thank God for creating you that way. God could not be wrong! Celebrate life; it is a gift to be enjoyed, not a problem to be solved nor a mistake to correct and change.
Be kind to yourself. Be kind to people who are "less-than-standard"; as it is, they suffer too much already.
As long and as far as Man's correspondence with God is
- systematized
- mediated
- administered
- franchised
- monopolized
by "priests",
such "priests" can / will control
- Man's thoughts and actions.
- society.
And once "priests" taste and enjoy such privilege and power,
they will never want to give it up.
"Priests" stand in the way
- of direct, personal relationship between God and Man.

Q - Bakit po kapag namatayan sya pa yung madalas naaabala pa, nagpupuyat pa, napapagod pa, gumagagatos at nag aaliw pa sa mga bumibisita??
Hindi kaya sya na sumunod na paglalamayan nyan?
Hindi ba dapat na yung bumibisita ang magdala, mkapagbigay ng pahinga sa namatayan?
A -
May point ka pamangkin.
Kaya naman naka develop ang mga matatanda ng mga "pamahiin" na sa totoo lang ay practical kindness and consideration ang bunga.
Halimabawa:
1. "Bawal maligo pag may patay."
Noong araw ay mahirap maligo; nasa labas ng kwarto o ng bahay ang paliguan.
So mahirap para sa namatayan ang laging maligo, lalu na kung puyat at walang water heater.
So, may excuse na ang namatayan na huwag laging maligo (na sobrang expectation ng mga Pilipino).
2. "Bawal ihatid sa pinto ang mga paalis na nakiramay."
This gives the namatayan an excuse para hindi sobrang mapagod ng katatayo at kahahatid sa nga dumating / dumalaw.
3. "Bawal matuluan ng luha ang kabaong."
This gives the namatayan
- a reason not be too stressed crying.
- an excuse not to have to cry all the time (which is somehow expected by the audience).
4. "Bawal maglinis ng bahay / magwalis pag may burol."
Pagod at puyat ang namatayan,
This excuses them from working too hard to keep the house clean while multitudes come and go, messing the place up.
MARAMI PANG IBANG MAGAGANDANG KAUGALIAN na minamasama at ninilbak ng mg hindi nakauunawa, lalu na ng mga clueless at culture-insensitive born again Christians :-)
Q - Ako po ayaw ko ng cremation kasi wala sa Bible.
A -
Oooops! Saul and Jonathan were cremated.
At pag ganyan ang katwiran, hindi rin dapat
- magpa-root canal ng ngipin
- mag-contact lenses
- mag-eroplano
- magpa-X ray
- etc etc etc
kasi wala rin lahat yan sa Bible.
The Bible tells us what we should not do.
But it does not limit us to do only what is exemplified in the Scriptures.
Pampaunlad, hindi pampa-atras ng buhay ang Bible!
Pero kung ayaw mo talaga ng cremation dahil lang ayaw mo, eh di wag!
If the Kingdom of God is reached through personal faith,
then why not keep faith PERSONAL?
Why insist on a corporate, standard, uniform
interpretation and application of matters of faith?
Why condemn others who ---
because of their personal faith ---
do not exactly share yours?
Mga pa-“spiritual” language na madalas ay gasgas at twisted ang usage o iba na ang talagang ibig sabihin or
What pa-spiritual people say and what they really mean: :-)
“God’s will” = Ang nangyari ay hindi yung original na gusto.
“God will provide” = Walang clear and solid plan for provision.
“I will pray about it” = “Wala talaga akong gagawin.”
“Fellowship” = Controlled program (Walang totoong fellowship na magaganap)
“Calling” = Assigned Task or Personal Desire
“In his time” = “Anytime; walang clear plan.”
“God’s Leading” = Personal desire
“Retreat” = Regulated/ controlled activity-filled event. Hindi talaga "retreat"
“Worship” = Regulated formal program“God will provide” = Walang clear and solid plan for provision.
“I will pray about it” = “Wala talaga akong gagawin.”
“Fellowship” = Controlled program (Walang totoong fellowship na magaganap)
“Calling” = Assigned Task or Personal Desire
“In his time” = “Anytime; walang clear plan.”
“God’s Leading” = Personal desire
“Retreat” = Regulated/ controlled activity-filled event. Hindi talaga "retreat"
Q - Maloloka po ako. Ang husband ko pong pastor, nagkaron ng affair ---at sa worship leader pa! Kakanta-kanta sa church ang hitad, tumitihaya pala sa pastor kong asawa!
A - Hindi malayong magkaganyan ang madalas magkasama ---kahit pa sa ministry.
May mga ibong kakanta-kanata sa sanga ng punung mangga...pero dumadapo pala kung kani-kaninong may asawa.
Kaya dapat, bantay-Marino!
Huwag magtiwala ng basta-basta dahil lang may "ministry" ang mga tao, o dahil lang kakanta-kanta sya.

Q - Tito ang GF ko po ang dalas-dalas nananaginip na ikinakasal daw kami. At dahil "spiritual" po sya, may strong revelation, leading and command daw sa kanya ang Diyos na pakasal na kami within three months or else may masamang mangyayari sa Nanay ko?! Nalilito po ako kasi hindi pa ako handa at di ko pa tagala gustong mag-asawa agad-agad kahit pa nga talagang love na love ko si GF.
A -
Kung talagang God's will and calling na pakasalan mo sya at a certain schedule, DAPAT SA YO NAGPARAMDAM ANG DIYOS. DAPAT IKAW ANG NAKA-RECEIVE NG CALLING O REVELATION kasi ikaw ang magpapakasal.
Baka deep wish yan ng GF mo kaya lumalabas sa kanyang mga panaginip? DO NOT PLAY INTO HER WISHFUL IMAGININGS UNTIL YOU YOURSELF RECEIVE THE LEADING FROM GOD AND YOU HAVE CONVICTION, INNER PEACE AND DESIRE TO DO IT.
It takes two to make a marriage; kung talagang magpaparamdam ang Diyos na gusto na Nya kayong pakasal ni GF, dapat pareho kayong bigyan ng conviction and leading!
AT BAKIT naman pati ang walang-malay mong nanay ay mapapahamak kung di ka pakasal agad? Bakit naman may banta pa ang "revelation" na yan? Hmmmmm.....
Q - Nabasa ko lang po post nyo about credit card, ang laki po kasi ng problem ko sa metro bank, last year nagkaron ako ng member sa insurance, elit card at kung ano ano na hindi ko naman personally minemberan, ang tanda ko may tumawag lang sakin dati asking kung ako si norberto eto ba eka adress mo at accont name, nag yes lang ako then nagulat nlng ako may bill na dumating sa akin, last june pnacancel ko na membership ko pero patloy pa din ang tawag at dating ng bill umabot na sa 20k at ngayon may nagtxt, attorney daw at idedemanda daw ako kc inignore ko daw bayaran, kaya ko lang naman po hindi mabayaran kasi ang laki po para isakripisyo ko yung maliit na sweldo ko sa bayaring dko naman pinakinabangan tsaka last june ko papo pnacancel pero late na daw nila nabasa, kasalanan ko po ba na late nila nabasa pero updated sila buwan buwan computin penalty at addtional charges sa akin? Hindi po tuloy ako mapakali. 😥😥😥
A -
Consult a lawyer pamangkin or a credit specialist para magawa mo ang effective steps to get out of that mess.
Q - Ano po ang gagawin ko sa mga oras na hindi ako makatulog kahit ano ang pilit kong gawin?
A -
Eh di wag kang matulog pamangkin?!
Aantukin ka rin soon.
Dun ka matulog
Q - Hi Tito, may advice/tips po ba kayo kung paano effective na (tapusin) basahin ang Bible? Matagal ko na po kasi gusto magbasa pero di ko magawa na everyday at madalas e hindi po ako sinisipag magbasa. Thank you po.
A -
Unahin mo at paulit-uliting ang Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Romans at Galatians. Idagdag ang Ecclesiastes.
Q - Nadiagnose oo ako na may gallstone, advice po ng doctor need na po opera, pero may nakapagsabi po sakin na meron naman daw pong natural way, nagsearch po ako mukangeffective natural way pero meron din naman nagsabi na babalik din at iba nastuck, ano maipapayo nyo tito
A -
I believe in the natural way. Hindi laging kailangan ang invasive surgical procedure. Pag bumalik ang stones eh di palabasin ulit.
May kilala akong doctor na nagpapalabas ng gallstones using natural therapies.
Sa pag-present ng "two sides" sa news, dapat proportionate.
Halimbawa, kung ipe-present ang statements ng magkaibang opinyon like "Gusto o ayaw mo ba si Person X?"
Hindi sapat na may tig-isa o tig-dalawang statements for each choice para matawag na "balance."
Kung out of 10 interviewees ay higit na marami ang "Ayaw",
dapat ipakita sa reporting ang proportion na yun.
Mas marami dapat ipakitang statements ng mga "Ayaw".
Pag magkapareho ng dami ng statements ang magkabilang panig,
magmumukhang hati 50-50 ang mga tao.
Q- Paano po malalaman kung ang preacher ay naggo grow in wisdom and understanding?
A -
Isang panukat:
Nag-iiba, lumalalim, lumalawak ang pag-unawa, pag-interpret at pag-apply nya sa biblical verses/ teachings. Yung ang pangangaral nya on the same verse/s ay naiiba sa pagdaan ng panahon; hindi the same lang at exact repetition lang. Very importantly, sya at ang kanyang katuruan ay mas bumabait, umaamo at nagiging maibigin sa pagdaan ng panahon. Ang bunga naman talagang dapat ay patuloy na pagbait at pagbuti ng ugali at asal.
Q - Tito how can I forgive people who have wronged me when they do not even say sorry?
A - Do not make your forgiving depend on the offenders' behavior; that would only empower them to affect you further. Do it as a personal, unilateral, SELFISH act. Why "selfish"? You will benefit when you forgive them; you continue to lose when you don't.
Q -ano pong masasabi nyo sa tradition na pag-celebrate ng Christmas ? Is it really UNBIBLICAL TO CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS knowing the fact that hindi rin naman talaga daw Dec 25 pinanganak si Jesus?
A - Hindi naman yung exact date ang isyu kundi yung lang celebration of the fact that Jesus was born.
Hindi naman talaga historically dated yung birth kasi hindi naman uso noon ang pagre-record ng exact dates of birthdays, especially of poor people. Pero hindi rin naman malinaw na sinabi ng Bible na HINDI DEC 25 ipinanganak si Lord. :-)

Although some claim that the Dec 25 celebration originated from a pagan festival from the distant past, and as a trained historian I am aware of that claim, sino ba naman sa nagse-celebrate ngayon ng pasko ang talagang sumusunod sa spirit nung pagan origins na yon? Ni hindi nga alam ng marami ang tungkol doon. Sa puso at isip nila, sine-celebrate nila ang birth of Jesus.
Yuna ng intention nila. And God judges people by what is in their hearts.
Yuna ng intention nila. And God judges people by what is in their hearts.
Kung ang object ng mga nagdiriwang ng pasko ay talagang isang pagan god, kung ginagawa nila consciously ang celebration in honor of a pagan god, eh di hindi nga bagay sa Christians na gawin. Pero tanungin mo ang bawat nagse-celebrate kung ginagawa nila yun para sa isang pagan God. I doubt na may makikita kang ganung tao. Umiimbento ng multo ang mga nanggigiyera sa Pasko.
At ano naman ang panganib? Mapo-possess ka kaya ng evil spirit dahil sa celebration? Mabubulid ka sa impiyerno? Magkakasakit? Mapapahamak?
At ano naman ang panganib? Mapo-possess ka kaya ng evil spirit dahil sa celebration? Mabubulid ka sa impiyerno? Magkakasakit? Mapapahamak?
KELAN naman kasi ise-celebrate ang birth ni Lord para lang umiwas sa Dec 25? Sa Feb 1? March 17? October 11? Kelan? Eh wala naman ngang specific date?
At sino ang makakasabay mong magdiwang? Kelan itataon ang holidays?
So WHY NOT Dec 25? May tradisyon na. Sabay-sabay at masaya.
At sa temperate countries na may winter, ang lamig, ang lungkot, a celebration on Dec 25 is very therapeutic. It breaks the sadness, aloneness, isolation and dreariness of winter. It saves many people from depression. Sayang naman kung summer pa gagawin eh marami nang kasiyahan pag tag-araw.
All things, all places, all times, dates and days belong to God who created everything. So, any day is as good as anyother for celebration.

Hindi naman malinaw na sinabi ng Bible ni HINDI Dec 25 yun o HUWAG mag-celebrate sa Dec 25. Hindi rin naman biblical yung idea na HUWAG mag-celebrate sa Dec 25; opinion din lang yun. Wala ring specific biblical base.
The Christian is free to do anything that the Bible does not specifically, expressly and clearly prohibits.
Ang dami-daming namang puedeng pag-initan at dapat pigilang gawain ng mga tao, bakit yun pang Christmas Celebration? Naubus na ba ang mga demonyong mas dapat unahing gyerahin?
O ginagawan ng isyu ang Pasko para lang maging controversial, maging kakaiba at mapansin?
Yung ayaw mag-Pasko eh di huwag. Walang namimilit.
Pero huwag pigilan o pagmukhaing masama yung may gusto.
Keep and practice your excessive fears to the confines of your own minds.

Pag may nabasang utos o katuruan sa Bible, itanong muna sa sarili bago ka magpakasakit o manakit ng iba sa pagsunod:
1. IKAW BA ang kausap ng
- verse?
- teacher / prophet?
- Diyos
o ibang tao sa ibang panahon, lugar at sitwasyon at ngayon ay nakikibasa ka lang?
2. UNIVERSAL BA talaga ---pang lahat ng tao [kasama ka na] sa lahat ng panahon sa lahat ng lugar sa lahat ng sitwasyon --- YUNG VERSE at pati ikaw na hindi original recipient / kausap / kasali AY OBLIGADONG SUMANGKOT AT SUMUNOD?
3. Diyos ba talaga ang may sabi / utos nyan o mga tao lamang na nagtatago sa likod ng Diyos para magkaron ng "authority" ang sinasabi nila? CONSISTENT / TUGMA ba sa character ng Diyos
(maibigin, mabait, mapagmahal, atbp.) ang utos / katuruan, o salungat? Pag salungat, suriin kung talagang Diyos ba ang may sabi noon? Talaga bang sasabihin/ iuutos / ituturo ng Diyos ang ganun?
(maibigin, mabait, mapagmahal, atbp.) ang utos / katuruan, o salungat? Pag salungat, suriin kung talagang Diyos ba ang may sabi noon? Talaga bang sasabihin/ iuutos / ituturo ng Diyos ang ganun?
4. Kaninong interest ang makikinabang sa pagpapairal ng "utos" / "katuruan"? Baka naman may vested interest ang nagsabi, at pinalalabas lamang na ang Diyos ang may sabi noon?
Manuri. Mag-aral na mabuti. Magdahan-dahan sa bulag na pagsunod at pagpapasunod sa mga utos at katuruang taliwas sa kabutihan at kabaitan ng Diyos na lalu pang nilinaw, isinabuhay at ipinakita ni Jesus.
