PHILIPPINES MY PHILIPPINES!

Your nation has again been reduced beyond any other nation
and was brought low everywhere in the world.
The Lord decided to settle accounts with his servants
and has begun the accounting.
He shall guide the humble to justice
and will teach them his ways
for they have received mercy from God.


REFLECTION
The world again watches as a new drama unfolds on the faith of our nation, brought about by the expose of Jun Lozada on the ZTE NBN deal that is tainted with large scale graft and corruption in government. President Arroyo recently admitted that she knew that the transaction is tainted. In celebrating the anniversary of the People Power Revolution, rallies were again held both pro and against the government. Even the Bishop's sang "Bayan Ko" at the end of their clergy assembly.


PRAYER
Accountability goes with leadership and power should not be used to suppresed the truth. I pray for our nation and its leaders to find favor in you O God! Teach them your ways . . .
