Any Of PH Presidential Candidates Has Head Towards Heaven & Eyes Towards The People?

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is minding the 2022 presidential elections; I am a Roman Catholic and I don’t mind at all!

ANN says today, Sunday, 28 Nov 2021, a day of obligation for Roman Catholics, “CBCP Releases Prayer For The 2022 Elections[1]” (Author Not Named, Rappler.com). ANN counts 24 lines and I count 214 words total. Meaningfully, Angelic Numbers says[2]:

The… number 214 encourages you to regain control of your life. You may have lost your bearings due to something unexpected, but this is not enough reason to completely lose control of your life.

How prophetic is that!? Since the filing of candidacies by those running for President in the 2022 elections, we Filipinos have been razzle-dazzled by the 3 frontrunning presidential wannabes – Bongbong Marcos (Ilocano), Isko Moreno (Tagalog), and Leni Robredo (Bicolano) – that is, Bongbong by parades of red(people & vehicles), Leni by gatherings of people in pink & buildings glowing in that color, and Isko by his presence in plentiful places to please people with promises.

I am extremely glad that my church, through the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines(CBCP), has released a prayer “for all Catholic churches in the Philippines to recite ahead of the 2022 elections.” ANN says:

The prayer is 24 lines long and calls for a fair and just election and (wishes) that "genuine fear of God and love of neighbors" would guide officials who would be elected. The prayer is seen to be recited by millions of Filipinos even at a time when attendance to masses has been reduced under the pandemic.

I will now quote some parts of the prayer:

Leader:
Let us pray together:
Response:
Hear us, Lord
That conscience may always be our ultimate norm...
That the common good may always be our highest goal...
That human dignity may be respected all the time...
That the poor and the weak may always have the priority...
That care for creation may never be ignored...
That solidarity may guide the path of peace and development...
That genuine fear of God and love of neighbors may guide those who seek public office...

The CBCP prayer implies how the candidates are or should be behaving – I find that I must add to the qualifications what and how the candidate should be thinking for the common good of the people when s/he wins!

More than 2 months ago, I began writing in my blog Communication For Village Development (CoVID21) about how we Filipinos can wisely choose our President; here are 4 of my essays:

08-10-2021 – “Filipinos, How You & I Can Choose Our President In The ­2022 Elections”
22-10-2021 – “Polls, Pulse, False: Presidency Is Not Popularity, It’s Leadership”
14-11-2021 – “What Does Agriculture & Apolinario Mabini Have To Do With PH Presidential Candidates?”
18-11-2021 – “Isko Moreno Shows The Way For The New Filipino – Including Agriculture & Digital!”

What did the world’s genius say about all that? “Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind” – Albert Einstein.@517

What’s Your 1K Worth Today? My 1K Is Worth Love In Communication For Village Development In The 21st Century (CoViD21)!

Today, Friday, 02 Sept 2022, I post this essay as the 1000 th in this blog “CoViD21” – short for “Communication for Village Development in the 21st Century.” Blogging since 2000, I have decided to dedicate myself unrelentingly to village development – an area much neglected. Actually, the 999 essays published before this one appeared in my blog “ Towards A New Eden” but which I have come to the conclusion that building a New Eden is too much of a promise, and developing villages is a dream within one’s reach in a lifetime. The development of villages I have in mind is via Regenerative Agriculture (RA). Rodale Institute introduced the term “Regenerative Organic Agriculture” in 1989 “to distinguish a kind of farming that goes beyond sustainable” (undated, Rodale Institute, rodaleinstitute.org ). So, I now believe that “Sustainable Development” is inadequate! We must go after “Regenerative Development,” especially via Agriculture. At this point, I must say that the application of org

Knorr Of Big Business Unilever Thinks Big Business Regenerative Agriculture – My Tiny Country PH Also Should!

“Knorr’s plan for 50 regenerative agriculture projects is predicted to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use by an estimated 30% while improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods.” That is regenerative agriculture (RA) news by Julian Cirineo (05 Nov 2021, “Unilever Wants To Rethink How Farms Work To Secure Food And Resources For The Future,” Rappler , rappler.com ). Note: 50 (not 5 only) RA projects to improve greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) and water use by 30% – plus improving biodiversity, soil health and livelihoods. Note the last 7 words in the above paragraph. How can RA improve biodiversity? RA requires that the farmer practices multiculture (a few or many crops grown at the same time in the same place), where monoculture (such as rice-only or corn-only) is the practice – the biodiversity improves crop health because of the ensuing balance of nature, such as some organisms feed on other organisms that would otherwise become pests or cause diseases. RA is your

How Do We Celebrate “World Environment Day?” 2 Related Answers: “We Believe Farming Is The Biggest Job On Earth” – BASF. “Everyday Is Environment Day For Me!” – Frank A Hilario

We have ignored “World Environment Week” and it’s time to pay attention to it. All the more reason because wars of all kinds are going on all over the world, and I am scientifically convinced that the kind of environment we have, or the kind we cultivate, propagates such wars. The inclusive date for “Environment Week” according to Jenica Dizon is 20-27 March (upper image). Differently, the Government of Virgin Islands says it’s 04-10 June (lower image from   bvi.gov.vg via YouTube). What? We don’t even have a single inclusive date! We mortals do not care much about our environment to celebrate it, do we? Not the issue of the inclusive dates, what I want to tackle here is what we mortals can commonly do to truthfully celebrate World Environment Day/Week. The above image I saw on Facebook, the post “Be Green, Be Great” by Waves For Water Philippines Country Director Jenica Dizon, “highlights the importance of caring for issues facing our environment.” I have always cared much abou
