KASABIHANG FILIPINO  
SA TAONG LUBOS ANG PANINIWALA, HINDI NA KAILANGAN ANG SALITA.  SA TAONG ANG TIWALA'Y  DI SAPAT, WALANG PALIWANAG NA KATAPAT  
Hagonoy, Bulacan-Philippines Toronto-Ontario-Canada
Tue 21st August 2012
 
 
(To those who believe, no words are necessary and to those who do not believe, no explanation will be enough.)
 
Ang kasabihang ito ay natatak sa aking utak at kaisipan noong napanood ko ang pelikulang  " The Song of Bernadette. "  
 
Ang pagpapakita ng Mahal na Birheng Maria kay Bernadette Soubirou ay marami ang hindi naniniwala pati na angpagpapagaling sa maraming may-sakit. Lubusang nakakita ang  isang taong bulag. Ang isang batang may lupus ay gumaling. Maraming pilay at pilantod ay nakalakad at iniwanan nila ang kanilang mga tungkod at saklay sa grotto tanda ng pasasalamt sa kanilang tinanggap nang  biyayang milagro.  Pinagdududahan ng maraming kulang sa 
pananampalataya,  samatalang maraming naniniwala sa panig ng mga may tiwala sa kapangyarihan ng Diyos sa pamamagitan ng intercession ni Birheng Maria.
 
Karamihan sa ating mga Filipino ay relihiyoso at ang paniniwala sa Diyos ay ating pinagyayaman. Sa atin, ang mga milagro katulad ng mga naganap sa bayan ng Lourdes sa Francia ay totoo at ang mga iyon ay kaloob ng Diyos.  Sa mga naniniwala, hindi na kailangan ang anumang paliwanag ngunit sa mga taong wala o kakaunti ang pananampalataya, kahit anumang pagpapaliwanag ay hindi makakasapat upang sila' ay lubos na mapaniwala.
 
Ang kasabihang ito ay hindi likas na katutubong Filipino subalit ang kahulugan nito at pagpapahalaga dito ay akmang akma sa katauhan ng mga Filipino na mayroong mataimtim na panampalatay sa Maykapal.  Kaya bagay lamang at angkop na ibilang ang naturang kasabihan sa hanay ng mga katutubong kasabihang Filipino.
 
Sa pang araw-araw na buhay, sa kalakal at negosyo, kapag buo ang iyong tiwala sa kakayahan at katapatan ng isang kaibigan, ibibigay  mo sa kanya ang iyong pagtitiwala at pananalig. Sa kabilang dako kung ikaw ay walang paniniwala sa isang tao, walang pangungusap at papaliwanag ang makahihimok sa iyo upang magtiwala ng lubusan sa kanya.
 
Ang kasabihang " Ang taong lubos ang paniniwala, hindi na kailangan ang salita.  Sa taong ang tiwala'y di sapat, walang paliwanag na katapat " ay hindi lamang naangkop sa mga Filipino kung hindi na rin sa buong mundo.

It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines.  We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house.  Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch.  Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous.  It was time for some physical vacation activities.  Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan. 

Coron is remote.  We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea.  Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach.  The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.
