Birthing Lupang Hinirang in our hearts

Pinoy ka pa rin ba (Birthing Lupang Hinirang) Part II was attended by 36 people last Saturday. Another God-ordained event!

♫ ♪ DAKILA KA, O DIYOS
TAPAT KA NGANG TUNAY
MAGMULA PA SA UGAT NG AMING LAHI
MUNDO'Y MAGUNAW MAN MAASAHAN KANG LAGI MAGING HANGGANG WAKAS NITONG BUHAY...

DAKILA KA, O DIYOS
SA HABANG PANAHON
KATAPATAN MO'Y MATIBAY NA SANDIGAN
SA BAWAT PIGHATI TAGUMPAY MAN AY NAROON
DALUYAN NG PAG-ASA KUNG KAILANGA'Y HINAHON
PAG-IBIG MONG ALAY SA 'KIN NOON HANGGAN NGAYON
DAKILA KA, O DIYOS...♪ ♫


And like the usual, allow us to share with you some photos taken during the event. Just a glimpse of how God-filled that day was and how the rebirth of the hope is Him was renewed that day. To Him be all the glory, forever and ever, amen.

Pinoy ka pa rin ba?

Nakaka-relate ka ba sa larawang ito?



Napagisipan mo na ba kung nasa puso mo pa ang pagiging isang tunay na Pilipino?

Pinoy ka pa rin ba, sa isip, sa salita at sa gawa?

Marami sa atin ang nabitin sa Pinoy kpb? (Birthing Lupang Hinirang) na ginanap noong March 27. Kaya naman meron tayong Part 2 sa June 26, 2010, Sabado, 8am.

Ang 'Pinoy Ka Pa Rin Ba? (Birthing Lupang Hinirang Part 2)' call center agents' day ay mas malalimang paglalakbay sa ating kasaysayan at mas malaman na usapan sa kahulugan ng pagiging isang tunay na Pilipino, makakasama pa rin natin si Ate Germaine Santos. Magkakaroon din tayo ng open forum with our guest speaker, kasama ang isa sa original writer ng Birthing Lupang Hinirang module, si Pastor Joel Bataclan.

Kitakits tayo! Imbitado po ang lahat ng young professionals (call center or non-call center) at maging mga college students.

Para sa iba pang detalye, magtext o tumawag sa 0915-314-0144 / 0922-607-3449.

SPECIAL REQUEST: can you wear/bring something Filipino when you come? Phil flag, sarong, malong, salakot, 'pinoy ako' pins and the likes. =)

Grateful and proud to be Filipinos!

Maraming salamat, Panginoon, sa 'pagpili' sa aming mga Pilipino. Maraming salamat sa paalala na kami ay Iyong pinagpala at patuloy pang pinagpapala... At tunay nga, Ikaw at Ikaw lamang ang aming pag-asa, kami nang buong sambayanang Pilipino!


To our dear Ate Germaine, Thank you so much as well! Until next... For our Part 2!

Inviting Everyone!

Our first Call Center Agent's Day for this year will happen on March 27, 2010 at 8am and will be held in GCF's Social Hall.

Pinoy Ka Pa Ba? (Birthing Lupang Hinirang)

Guest Speaker: Ms. Germaine Santos, a Missionary and full-time staff of Campus Crusade for Christ.

Note: No registration fee for the seminar and non-call center young professionals are also welcome to join.





What is this about?
- This is a seminar about being proud of our Filipino heritage based on Biblical perspective.

Why did Connect choose this topic?
- Because of the nature of our work, we (call center agents) easily adapt or blend in in our clients' culture and need to be reminded of our roots.

What to expect?
- Expect to be affirmed that we have not lost our citizenship, despite the fact that we somehow struggle in becoming less Filipino because of the different culture we face at work.

For further inquiries, you may contact Ms. Rajsh Sabio at 0915-314-0144 or 0922-607-3449.

Or drop by at our booth during Sundays from 8am to 7pm at the GCF Worship Center lobby (address: Ruby corner Garnet roads, Ortigas Center, Pasig City).
