A 106 yo Catholic Church is making me cry. With the Latin songs in the background, I prayed for the US elections that only meritorious candidates to win and to serve the American people with integrity. Let statesmanship and conviction to serve the American people prevail.

I also offered mass for the 99th birthday of my dad, Eleazar Aquino Abarquez, now deceased since 2000. Thank you, Dad, for all your hard work, sacrifices, and guidance. Because of you, we pursued higher education in science, law, business administration, nursing, and accounting, our ticket out of poverty, as stressed to us. We celebrate your 99th birthday today, election day 2022, with two gifts of the Blessed Virgin Mary’s statues for a Marian exhibit of San Ignacio Church, headed by Fr. Joel Bugas.
