Is there HOPE for the Philippines?

Forty years ago, we were only second to Japan in economic stature, and way ahead of Singapore , Hong Kong , Malaysia, and Thailand .


Today, at our present growth rate, it will take us 30 years to get to where Thailand is.1. A population of 160 Million;2. Of those, 70 to 90 million (equivalent to our current population) willlive below the poverty line;3. Our national debt is estimated to be at US$200B (compared to US$28B when Marcos fled, and US$53B today);4. We will be competing, not against Thailand or even Vietnam , but against Bangladesh;5. We will be the most corrupt nation in Asia, if not in the world (we're already ranked 11th most corrupt nation by Transparency International) ....The signs are clear. Our nation is headed towards an irreversible path of economic decline and moral decadence. It is not for lack of effort. We've seen many men and women of integrity in and out of government, NGOs, church groups & people's organization devote themselves to the task of nation-building, often times against insurmountable odds.But not even two people's revolutions, bloodless as they may be, have made a dent in reversing this trend. At best, we have moved one step forward, but three steps backward.


We need a force far greater than our collective efforts, as a people, can ever hope to muster. It is time to move the battle to the spiritual realm.It's time to claim GOD's promise of healing of the land for His people.It's time to gather GOD's people on its knees to pray for the economicrecovery and moral reformation of our nation.Is prayer really the answer? Before you dismiss this as just anotherrambling of a religious fanatic, I'd like you to consider some lessons we can glean from history.England 's ascendancy to world power was preceded by the Reformation, aspiritual revival fueled by intense prayers.The early American settlers built the foundation that would make it themost powerful nation today - a strong faith in GOD and a disciplined prayer life. Throughout its history, and especially at its major turning points, waves of revival and prayer movement swept across the land.


In recent times, we see Korea as a nation experiencing revival and in the process producing the largest Christian church in the world today, led by Rev. Paul Yongi Cho. No wonder it has emerged as a strong nation when other economies around it are faltering.Even from a purely secular viewpoint, it makes a lot of sense. For herethere is genuine humbling and seeking of GOD through prayer, moralreformation necessarily follows. And this, in turn, will lead to general prosperity. YES, we believe prayer can make a difference. It's our only hope.


Today, we launch this email brigade, to inform Filipinos from all over the world to pray, as a people, for the economic recovery and moral reformation of our nation. We do not ask for much. We only ask for 5 minutes of your time in a day, to forward this email to your close friends and relatives.This is the kind of unity which can make a big difference. Of course, if you feel strongly, as I do, about the power of prayer, you can be more involved by starting your own prayer group or prayer center.We have tried people power twice; in both cases, it fell short. Maybe it's time to try prayer power. GOD never fails. Is there hope? YES! We can rely on God's promise, but we have to do our part. If we humble ourselves and =pray as a people, GOD will heal our land. By GOD's grace, we may yet see a better future for our children.'If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven, and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.'(2 Chronicles 7:14).If you care for your children and grandchildren, PLEASE pass this on...Let's not just abandon the Philippines

You've Made Me Stronger

You've Made Me Stronger
November 8th, 2008 - by maryanneco


Is it hard to believe I’m okay
After all, its been awhile
Since you walked away
I’m way past crying
Over you finding someone else
You turned my days into nights
But now I see the light
And this maybe a big surprise to you
But you’ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of life
Yes, you’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

If you try to believe I’m not over you
Go ahead Theres nothing wrong with making believeI know
‘Coz I used to pretend you’d come back to me
But time has been such a friend
Brought me to my senses again
And I have you to thanked
For setting me free
‘Coz you’ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

Think again
Don’t feel so sorry for me, my friend
Oh, don’t you know
I’m not the one at the loosing end
‘Coz you’ve made me stronger
By breaking my heart
You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

You ended my life
And made a better one start
You taught me everything
From falling in love
To letting go of a lie
Yes, you’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye, goodbye
You’ve made me stronger
Baby, by saying goodbye

A cure for cobra bites


In the southern part of the Philippines, there is a mixed liquid that already cured a lot of victims bitten by the famous king cobra. In fact, this said liquid did more, as it also helped those who have been infected by cuts caused by rusty pointed objects, such as nails and other similar things. It is hard for me to elaborate it at the moment, but this is really a wonder. If incase you know anyone who is fond of research, then reply to this post. The person I am telling you a while ago is a friend, and can be contacted if need be. here's the e-mail address: richvision2007@gmail.com
