My Journey to the Philippines under the Direct Guidance of True Father, the Messiah of Mankind!

Before his departure for a better world, our precious True Father asked all blessed central families to rise up and accomplish their tribal messiah mission, even at the risk of their own lives! I believed that His demand was for all of us to take full advantage of Foundation Day. When True Father ascended, I really felt an urge to unite with his heart and follow him with a total loyalty and a heart of humility. So, after 21 days of internal preparations in Chung Pyung (Korea), I determined to go witnessing in The Philippines. I had the chance to meet a great Filipino brother from Cebu, who invited me there. This person is partly responsible for changing my life forever. His name is John Santillan: he is from Bantayan Island.

Filipino family members in the Philippines, are very fortunate to work together with a very exemplary son of True Father: Dr. Yong. He is a creative leader that helps to organize well these wonderful huge holy blessing events. Dr. Yong has a natural gift to make us unite and create a spiritual momentum of great inspiration. This kind of true love energy facilitates the harvest of the seeds of love that that our Heavenly Parent God, has patiently planted into the hearts of the Filipinos ancestors, since a very long time already.

The history of The Philippines was a labor of love in the making. Native Filipinos were colonized by Spaniards for 300 years, Sylvain Millaire enduring great ordeals… God could only give birth to a people so close to his heart, by giving them first numerous obstacles to overcome. A people so diligent, event after being flooded and beaten up spiritually, that can still find a way to laugh about it! That is why they were voted the happiest people on Earth! If you want your children to really understand about the value of sharing; send them in The Philippines!

I believe the last few years has given hope to Heavenly Parent God, seeing me together with my Filipinos brothers and sisters, dedicating our hearts to help Him bringing back many of His lost Filipino children… I shared countless marvelous Heartistic experiences with young Unification Church members, even under the guidance of True Father, sometimes… I know God is patiently waiting for me to be a better son and helping him saving Philippines from the grip of evil, for our 2020 vision!

A good and prepared environment is of crucial importance, when you do witnessing: That is why I was desperate to breakthrough… I realized that in USA I have to invest so much before I can finally reach someone dedicated to learn sincerely about our beloved Heavenly Parent’s miserable situation. American people are good, but it seems that their minds have been enchanted by a strange and powerful spell. They have extreme desires for material wealth and have fallen into a hedonistic pursuit of joy, inflated with a shallow elaborated illusion of happiness.

Heavenly Parent God, is never far away from the center of a typical Filipino person. Distinctively from the Westerners attitude that tends to praise themselves at any chance they have; Filipinos almost never forget to thank God for the good things that happen to them!

During my First visit in Philippines, as our team was mobilized in daily heartistic efforts; I was given this amazing experience, during two weeks. It was like bathing in the spiritual love of Heaven. During the day, I received so much love from the Filipinos citizen, we met in their homes. During the night I would dream; I felt as if I was still witnessing, feeling lots of love from the Filipino spiritual world (ancestors). We would make serious conditions, as I was working with a team of our IPLC college students. We did four hundred Bows a day, prayed, studied and went out witnessing all day, in order to prepare for our big IPBF 13,000 blessing invitees event (Araneta stadium, January 2012). I Cannot praise enough these young and bright members students, who work so hard, sacrificing their life, in order to unite with the very demanding directions of their leaders.

One night, during that intense period of mobilization, Heavenly Parent manifested himself in my dream. He was a beautiful white sparkling cloud. I could feel God’s huge spiritual loving presence, just above me: Heavenly Parent was waiting patiently for me to teach Divine principle to the children, in the Filipinos schools! Soon after this special spiritual experience, I was invited to coach some college students in doing volunteer work; by my friend, a college professor in Marikina.

We had also the chance to work with a very determined and experienced blessed wife, in our adopted city of Marikina. Anna Lisa Lopez is the one who started to give her sincere heart to the affected families of the flood created by typhoon Ondoy, since 2009 or so! I have witnessed with my own eyes, that it is even

more crucial to have absolute faith and dedication, then having financial big capability, in being successful in our tribal messiah mission: This blessed couple has now nearly established their tribal messiah, with 430 blessed couples. They are in the process of teaching their spiritual children, about the meaning of the 3 days ceremonies. This Couple, Francis and Anna Liza, have sacrificed so much along the way, in order to please our beloved Heavenly Parent; sometimes, not even having enough food to feed their children; but continuing forward relentlessly.

Heaven is changing my lineage forever through my journey, while riding the amazing Heavenly fortune of True Parent, in the Philippines! On my second trip to the land of the happy people, I had the chance to live for a month, in the mountain of Mascap (Montalban), near Manila. I discovered the beautiful lands that our organization has over there, through the guidance of our elder blessed couple Orlino and Leonida Languisan. They have shown me the way to do natural witnessing, and introduced me to a very organized technic of creating Divine Principle seminars. They have invested so much and send many young people to study in our college in Tanay (IPLC), even sacrificing their own children well-being, sometimes. They have a spiritual son, which organized a national level Divine Principle seminar once a year, with top achieving students in the Philippines.

My tribal messiah leader of Marikina City, being unable to join the event, delegated me to attend the sending off to the spiritual world or “Sungwha” ceremony, of our beloved church Leader Mr. G. Estoce. He offered his life in Leyte, during the typhoon Yolanda. I decided to go, and embarked on the one full day boat trip from Manila to Cebu city. After the ceremony, we had the chance to participate to a great relief effort, helping feeding about 300 impoverished people, and support many more in northern Cebu.

I was then graciously invited to stay longer by the Cebu young leader, “Kuya” Cesar Juanillo; and had the blessing to participate in many small relief efforts, in Cebu province. We traveled by bus, “Jeepneys” and small tricycles, to reach far remote provincial areas. We gave our hearts to many relatives and connected people of our church. Mr. Juanillo let me often pray as a representative of the western donors. Family members made big circles, and we prayed together with the people in need of our help: I truly found great inspirations in doing so, I felt Heavenly Parent so happy at that time. I deeply realized in my heart, the reason I was born was to help alleviate the difficult plights of my brothers and sisters, and ease their hearts! We felt the Holy Spirit as we prayed, and people shed numerous tears of comfort…

It was truly an unforgettable life-altering experience, of serving humbly in that manner! While we visited a sister parent’s affected by the typhoon, I witnessed the huge heart of these simple people, in the country side, from the Northern Cebu province; they had almost nothing left, but they still killed their small chicken, and offered it to us, in order to feed us. There was not even enough meat for the parent, to share their precious offering with us.

I also had the great delight to visit the devastated hometown of my Filipino brother and great witnessing mentor, John Santillan, in Patao city (Bantayan Island). He built a chariot that participated in many Catholic processions, which has a sign on it saying: “Reverend Sun Myung Moon, True Parent of Mankind”! John’s family received us with an amazing plate of sea food, and a giant shrimp of about one foot long! Their roof had been seriously damaged by bad mamma Typhoon Yolanda!

Later on, in January 2013, I was invited to ILOILO by the young Visaya regional leader Angelito B Cainday. I felt so excited the day before we were about to deliver our clothing and solar energy light bulbs help relief. Heaven gave me this kind of special spiritual experience, which allowed me to feel the joy of the spiritual world in the area: I believe I felt the immense joy of the ancestors about to be connected with the divine grace of True Parent! In order to assist the victims of the typhoon Yolanda, in Roxas city (Panay Island), True mother had sent us 1.2 million pesos ($27,000) to support the relatives of our members affected by the catastrophic event of last year. This represented a very substantial amount, which was enough to help rebuilt the damaged homes of 97 victimized families. It was said that it was the first time that such a substantial amount was donated, since the catastrophic Yolanda event had hit Roxas city, months earlier! These simple Filipinos citizens were so grateful and inspired, when we brought them to eat in the restaurant and offer them monetary supports.

Glory to True Mother’s heavenly wisdom; through her abundant help, we could also deliver a priceless heartistic relief to our missionaries, that emulated this kind of heavenly true love heart: Because, by helping their own victimized parents, family members liberated also the hearts of those parents: which had sacrificed their own children, whom had left their homes to serve the True Parents’ Providence! In the Philippines, every hand is often needed in order to support their own poor families’ survival!

I even had the chance to visit Bohol, the island touched by the last year 7.2 magnitude major earthquake. I was well-guided by the women federation Leader; Mrs. Merly Barrete. She is from the town of Carmen, and lives right among the famous chocolate hills area, near the epicenter of the catastrophy. Over there, I truly witnessed with wonder, the amazingly strong Christian spirit of the Filipino citizens: as the priest would conduct their Sunday service, which was still filled with devoted followers, right in front of the ruins of their demolished church!

On my second visit to the Philippines, I really could experience the heart of my Christian missionaries’ ancestors, from Europe and Canada. I felt lonely, powerless and penniless sometimes. But through that, I learn how to become stronger and challenge myself to assess the quality of my environment, regarding my witnessing mission. The heart of my tribal messiah area, stands in Malanday, Marikina city. It is largely populated by very humble people. I had to decide what is the value vs the risk of me having to work there by myself, sometimes. It’s a very good training: there is no gain to be made on the side of God, without going through the necessary substantial safety risk and passionate sacrifices of love!

I want to specially thank my spiritual daughter Lorna Banguanga, for putting up with my determined spirit, and following me through the challenging areas of my second adventure in the Philippines! I am the one who followed her sometimes; as we traveled through unknown roads. Lorna protected me. She even scared the barking dogs away, as we walked in near total darkness, almost lost in the mountains of Montalban.

Yes, God answered my prayer, after True Father ascended to the spiritual world! I truly felt blessed by the fact that the president of our unification church, in the Philippines, accepted me as one of their official tribal messiahs. Already many young Filipinos are calling me “daddy”; and I can testify that witnessing in the Philippines is very special and inspiring. There are many factors, which in my opinions, help prepared Filipinos to be open minded to receive True Parent in their hearts: But I think that it is directly connected with the fact that they are a sincere God seeking people.

By their history of sacrifices and being able to overcome numerous trials, Filipinos people naturally understands that without the support of Heaven, there is little they can accomplish in their lives, which will have lasting value in the future. I believe the lives of our descendants will shine with heavenly fortune, when we will be able to take advantage of having the kind of sincere and humble attitude, which the beautifully-hearted Filipino citizens taught me, during my Heavenly missions in The Philippines!
