Seventeenth Sunday of the Year—Bayanihan (Saturday, 28 July 2018 )
Isa sa mga magagandang kultura ng mga Pilipino ay ang bayanihan. Tayo’y nagtutulungan kung ang ating kapwa ay nangangailangan. Nagbibigay tayo ng ating makakaya para lang makibahagi at ipakita natin ang ating pagkakaisa sa mga nangangailangan. Subok na natin yan dito sa Hongkong, noong may kalamidad ang ating bayan, tayo’y nagkaisa at nagtulong-tulong para sa ating mga kababayan. |
