Bro. Eddie's Thank You Letter for the BP Supporters
May 11, 2010
Sa lahat ng nagtiwala at sumuporta sa Bangon Pilipinas,
Ito na siguro ang pinakamahirap na sulat na ginawa ko. Mahirap kasing isalin sa salita at pagkasyahin sa isang papel lang ang nag-uumapaw na pasasalamat sa puso ko.
Natapos na ang eleksyon at nagbigay na ng kanilang mandato ang sambayanang Pilipino. Hindi pumabor sa atin ang mandato ng eleksyon. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na nasayang ang prinsipyong pinanindigan natin sa labang ito.
Sa loob ng tatlong buwang campaign period, naramdaman ko ang pagsama ninyo.
Hindi biro ang pinagdaanan nating laban. Mabigat man ang sakripisyo ko, naging magaan dahil sa inyo. Hindi ko na maiisa-isa lahat ng kontribusyon ninyo para sa pagsusulong ng tunay na pagbabago... para sa matuwid na pamahalaan. Hindi ko man maisa-isa, salamat! Kayo ang “unsung heroes” ng Bangon Pilipinas.
Sa panahong ito, dalangin ko na lahat tayo ay magkaroon ng kapayapaan na ang lahat ng ginawa natin ay hindi para sa ating sarili kundi para sa Diyos at Bayan.
Ang ginawa natin para sa Diyos, hindi mawawalan ng kabuluhan. “Therefore my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the LORD, because you know that your labor in the LORD is not in vain.” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Ang ginawa natin para sa bayan, nakaukit na sa kasaysayan. Wala nang makakanakaw nito sa atin.
Gaya ninyo, nasasaktan din ako. Pero maiibsan ang sakit na ito kung sama-sama pa rin tayong magpapalakasan sa bawat isa at hindi matitinag sa patuloy na pagdalangin sa Diyos na magkaroon ng matuwid na pamahalaan sa ating minamahal na bansa!
A paraphrased prayer from Daniel 3: 16-18: God, we do not need to defend ourselves in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it and You will rescue us. But even if You do not, we want the Filipinos to know that we remain steadfast in our service to God and country.
We have given joy to the heart of God as we supported His cause for the Philippines. Now, let the joy of the LORD be our strength!
Thank you once again!
God bless you all marvellously!
GOD bless the Philippines!
Para sa Diyos at Bayan,

As the deer...
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. (Psalm 42:1)

Lipa Pastors' Forum with Mayor Oscar Gozos and his One Team, Anfa Royale Hotel, April 24, 2010
The Role of the Church and the Government
Exhortation by Rev. Danilo B. Guzman
The Word of God is clear and is never silent about the relationship of the Church to the Government.
Romans 13:1-5
Daniel 2:21, Daniel 4:17
The Philippines is currently governed by the 1987 Constitution (Article II, Section 6).
The separation of Church and State shall be inviolable (Article III, Section 5).
We are required to recognize and follow those whom God has placed over us as part of our obedience to God.
How should we do it?
(1) By simply obeying the law of the land.
– law-abiding citizens
(2) By living a moral and upright life.
– good testimony among our fellow Lipenos
(3) By diligently teaching the Word of God to our people and nurture them in the faith so that they too might live a life that is pleasing to the Lord and to our community.
– our role to teach and be good examples of others
(4) By praying for our government leaders so that they might exercise their authority with honor, integrity, and fear of the Lord
– 1 Timothy 2:1
(5) By partnering with our local government authorities to develop the living condition of the people in the area of their spiritual, moral, and physical lives.
Challenges to the Mayor of Lipa City
From the acronym L.I.P.A.
L – Leadership that is honest, with integrity, and transparent.
I – Implementing moral standards in our community
P – Providing services such as medical, education, and job opportunities that will elevate the living condition of our people
A – Action-oriented local leadership which is always ready to response to the need of our people especially the poor

1. Motivation of the Pastors (burden)
2. Need to Evangelize
3. Support of everyone (every members, the leadership, different committees)
4. Challenge of Criticisms (example:Sanballat)
Filipino traits--personal versus work
Our Encouragement is a good conscience (1 Peter 3:16).
