 My dear friends. Here is the third issue of Bag-ong Kusog, my daily newsletter https://docs.google.com/document/d/14M213l5HABexaZjctGGhMeuN17iSouJo/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=100922584600514145148&rtpof=true&sd=true

  Antonio Jose Rubi Why the Philippines should be a monarchy? As you know, the Philippines had been a monarchy in its history, ranging from pre-colonial monarchies, various Sultanates in Mindanao, and was ruled by the Spanish monarchy from 1565 to 1898 (excluding the First Spanish Republic period from 1873 to 1874). In 1899, the Yankee imperialists took over our country, and introduced anti-Catholic Masonic ideas to the Filipinos. That is why you see some Filipinos protest against the ‘’Padre Damaso’’ (an evil priest from Jose Rizal’s novel Touch Me Not), which is not only commonly shared by Protestants, but by liberal bigots on the internet. Especially with the Flood control projects controversy going on in our country right now, I feel there should be a regime change in my opinion.

  Note that I am not endorsing an Eastern Orthodox schismatic bishop, this article by John of Shanghai talks about the murder of Russia's Tsar Nicholas II, but this also can be applicable to King Louis XVI, the martyr King of France: https://orthochristian.com/154873.html          Innocently shed blood will revive Russia and France and cover it with new glory!

The image was made in Acapulco, Mexico (where Bishop Carmona would later serve) and brought to Manila, Philippines. It is enshrined in the Quiapo Church in Manila, Philippines. Contrary to popular belief, the image you see in Quiapo Church is not the original Black Nazarene, the original one was enshrined in the Augustinian Recollect Church of Manila and both image and church were destroyed during World War II. The image in Quiapo is actually a replica of the original destroyed one. The dark color of the image also is said because it allegedly when on voyage to Manila, the ship carrying the image caught fire, but because of allegedly votive candles surrounding the image, as well as the mesquite wood used to carve the image. The image has a reputation of being miraculous, allegedly healing devotees. The feast day is January 9, the anniversary of...

  Above, Father Maurice Inchaffray blesses the troops of King Robert Bruce of Scotland before fighting the English in the Battle of Bannockburn Antonio Jose Rubi I am writing this on the feast day of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. On the day I wrote this article, I declared a ‘’holy war’’ against the Disney Infidels with my own cartoon characters like Catalina Santos -         Antonio, the Author You may have seen those depictions of a priest, holding a crucifix fighting in battle with the soldiers, most of them set in the Middle Ages. These customs dates back to Old Testament times, and is still being used today. A notable medieval example is Father Maurice Inchaffray, the chaplain of the Scottish Army of Robert Bruce who defeated King Edward II of England (see picture above), as well as the priests who fought with Joan of Arc against the English. One of the notable military priests ever was Saint John Capistrano, himself the patron saint of mili...
