What a blessing indeed!


Right after the brief meeting with the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and the Vice President Noli De Castro in San Roque Parish, last January 10, 2007, a group was tasked to study the possibility of allocating a portion of land in Baseco, Tondo for the Church and for the housing project. This was through the initiative of His Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales and Bishop Broderick Pabillo in collaboration with the Augustinian Fathers, Frs. Willy and Asis and with the SHEC. Such meeting went on smoothly with the presence of other dignitaries from the different housing agencies of the government especially from the city of Manila under the direction of Mayor Lito Atienza. This was convened by Hon Usec. Fatima Valdez.
