Robin Padilla re-opens school for Muslim kids

By admin On September 19, 2010 No Comments

The preparatory school founded by action star Robin Padilla has been re-opened after last week’s decision of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court to dismiss a case seeking to shut down the school.

In June, Padilla was forced to temporarily close the Paaralan ng Liwanag ng Kapayaan in Fairview, Quezon City due to the pending case.

Padilla founded the school for Muslim children living in Metro Manila. It is located at Padilla’s former residence in a West Fairview village.

Reports said the homeowners association had opposed its operation, citing security concerns. The group then filed a complaint against the school. This reportedly impeded Padilla’s efforts to secure a building permit for the school.

In her September 15 K-text, Mariel Rodriguez, who is reportedly Padilla’s new wife, announced the dismissal of the case.

“Hello hello hello!!!!!! Happy today even though I woke up super early. Nagpunta ako sa city hall para sa case

Actor Robin Padilla has issued a statement regarding reports that he and actress-host Mariel Rodriguez tied the knot in Benguet last Monday.

In a text message sent to ABS-CBN News, Padilla said what happened in Baguio was part of their lives as a couple. He added the ceremony will also be used for an upcoming show on ABS-CBN.

“Ang mga naganap sa lupa ng mga Cariño sa Baguio ay isa lamang sa mga nagaganap na yugto sa aming pag-ibig at sa nalalapit na programa sa ABS-CBN,” Padilla said.

Despite the Igorot rites, the actor, a Muslim convert, said he remains faithful to Islam. He added that the tribal ceremony is part of Filipino culture and tradition.

“Walang dapat ipangamba ang mga kapatiran, kababayan at katribo sapagkat ang pagsunod namin ay sa Islam, ang pagpupugay namin ay sa Kristianismo at ang pakikiisa namin ay sa kultura at tradisyong Pilipino,” Padilla added.

“You have a severely blocked coronary artery, about a 95% obstruction . . . At this moment you are a heart attack statistic just waiting to happen.”

THIRTY-TWO-YEAR-OLD Joe could hardly believe these words of a cardiologist who examined him to determine the cause of his chest pain. Almost half of those who will die of heart disease are not even aware that they have it.

But what led up to Joe’s condition? ‘For 32 years I ate the typical American “meat and milk” diet,’ laments Joe. ‘Somehow the fact that the American diet is hazardous to my health fell through the cracks.’

Your Diet and Heart Disease

What was wrong with Joe’s diet? Basically, it contained too much cholesterol and fat, especially saturated fat. From his youth, Joe had been setting himself up for coronary heart disease with nearly every forkful of food. A high-fat diet is, in fact, linked to five

Is the Pursuit of Money Making You Sick?

By admin On September 11, 2010 No Comments

IF YOU became very rich tomorrow, what would you do? Slow down and enjoy life? Quit your job and spend more time with your family and friends? Take up a career that you really enjoy? Interestingly, many people who become rich do no such things. Instead, they devote the rest of their lives to making more money either to pay off their new debts or just to get richer.

Some who have followed this course, however, are noting the damaging effect that materialism has had on their health, their family life, and the moral character of their children. Recently, books, articles, television programs, and videos have warned against overindulgence and have, instead, encouraged “voluntary simplicity.” A number of sources point out that becoming absorbed in materialistic pursuits can make you sick mentally, emotionally, and even physically.

Of course, concern about the dangers of materialism is not new. Almost 2,000

Why So Many Poor in a World of Riches?

By admin On September 11, 2010 No Comments

“YOU always have the poor with you,” said Jesus Christ in the first century C.E. (Matthew 26:11) From Jesus’ time down to the present, there has always been a large number of impoverished people. However, why does poverty afflict so many in a world of such great wealth?

Some believe that people become poor because they make bad decisions. That may be true in some cases. Those who choose to indulge cravings for alcohol, drugs, and gambling may easily lose their material assets. However, not all poor people are poor as a consequence of their own bad judgment.

Many have lost jobs because of changes in industry. Many working people have seen their life savings consumed by skyrocketing medical costs. And of the hundreds of millions of impoverished people in the developing world, most are poor through no fault of their own. The causes of poverty are often beyond the control of
