Father Ferdie Ordained Priest

A day after the ordination of Fr. Jeason Cabacab in Bauko, Fr. Ferdinand L. Fulatao, a native of Talubin, Bontoc is ordained at the Sta. Rita Cathedral, Bontoc, Mountain Province on 14 December 2010 by our Vicar Apostolic, Bishop Rodolfo Beltran.

Here is the message of Bishop Rudy which appears in the foreword of Fr. Ferdie's souvenir book:

MESSAGE

The ordination of Reverend Father Ferdinand Fullatao reminds us of some elements surrounding the birth of our Saviour – the very mystery which we are celebrating this season. I want to underscore two of these elements.

First is God’s favor. I am sure that there is no community today that is happier than Talubin, Fr. Ferdie’s home, because they are not only offering to God a son of their own, but this son is in fact their very first offering to God. It is not an unknown fact that some people up to now, unluckily, still do not give regard to Talubin. Some people even deride this community, short of saying, “Can anything good come from Talubin?” But God has shown his favor on Talubin. And now our answer to that question is a resounding “Yes!” Yes, something good – indeed, one of the best – is now coming out of Talubin. And this is a testimony of how God favors Talubin because Talubin has also been faithful to God.

Second is God’s wonderful power. The ordination of Fr. Ferdie reminds us that nothing is impossible with God. Everybody knows that Fr. Ferdie’s vocation to the priesthood came a little late to him. There is a joke going around for Fr. Ferdie that after celebrating a few masses, he shall already be preparing for his retirement.

But the Gospels for this season remind us of how God has worked wonders to Elizabeth who was old and barren, and to Zechariah who was way beyond his retirement age. In the same way God made a miracle to Mary who was found pregnant at a very young age but had remained a virgin without a husband! The birth of the Messiah, as a matter of fact, is a testimony to how God can do a miracle for anybody he wishes to do it. When God wills, he can do anything at anytime to anybody, and even the impossible. I am not saying that Fr. Ferdie’s ordination is against an impossibility. What I am underscoring is the power of God’s will. God wills that Fr. Ferdie becomes his priest and now he is one.

I pray that more men – young and even those who are old but are qualified – follow in the footsteps of Fr. Ferdie who has decided to offer his life for God and His church.

May our celebration of Christmas be meaningful and truly filled with awe at this God who brings favors and wonders into our lives.

God bless us all! Matago-tago tako am-in!

Father JEASON CABACAB Ordained

In the morning of 13 December 2010, Father JEASON Anoyan CABACAB, was ordained priest at the Bauko Catholic Mission, Bauko, Mountain Province.

In his homily, Bishop Rudy reminded the ordinand-priest of the reality of the priest's human frailty and God's abiding call to holiness. Fr. Armand Quindo, Mission Rector of Bauko Catholic Mission, led the people in the preparation for the ordination of Fr. Jeason who hails from Bauko. A thanksgiving mass is scheduled on 18 December 2010 in the Capinitan Chapel, Sabangan from where his mother hailed.

Fr. Jeason was born on September 23, 1982 in Bauko. He finished his philosophy at St. Dominic's Seminary, Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya and his theology at the Immaculate Conception School of Theology in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.

Bishop RUDY goes to ROME for the AD LIMINA visit

Some 35 Northern Luzon bishops, including Bishop Rodolfo F. Beltran, Vicar Apostolic of Bontoc-Lagawe, were among the first batch of Filipino priests who flew to Rome for the quinquennial Ad Limina Apostolorum Visit to the Holy See from 27 November to 07 December 2010.

The word Ad Limina Apostolorum means "thresholds of the Aspostles." This is the obligation of local ordinaries to visit the Holy Father once in 5 years (quinquennial) to give an account of the state of their corresponding dioceses. It is also the time when these successors to the Apostles make a pilgrimage to the tombs of the apostles.

The Holy Father, in his audience with the Filipino bishops, commended them for their commitment to uphold life from conception and their efforts to counter any move to push for the approval of the Reproductive Health bill.

“In the light of this prophetic task, I commend the Church in the Philippines for seeking to play its part in support of human life from conception until natural death, and in defense of the integrity of marriage and the family,” Pope benedict XVI said.

DISTRICT TONGTONGANS

Two simultaneous Tongtongans (Pastoral Assemblies) were held in the Districts of Ifugao and Mountain Province on August 5, 6 and 7, 2010 both centering on the theme of "collaboration" which was an idea lifted from the previous Northern Luzon Pastoral Forum.

Ifugao District held its Tongtongan in Lamut with the theme "Liturgy Alive through Pastoral Collaboration." Mountain Province District, on the other hand, held it in Teng-ab Pastoral Complex with the theme "Strengthening BECs through collaboration.

Both Tongtongans had a combined attendance of more than three hundred priests and laity.

Bishop Claver, 81

We are reprinting here the news item on Philippine Daily Inquirer, 02 July 2010:

MANILA, Philippines—Bishop Francisco Claver, one of the ardent civil rights defenders during the Marcos martial law years, died Thursday, according to a report on the website of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.

He was 81.

Claver, a Jesuit priest, succumbed to pulmonary embolism at 2:41 a.m. at the Cardinal Santos Memorial Center, the report said.

Former CBCP president and Cotabato archbishop Orlando B. Quevedo said of Claver: “Filipino prophet without peer, truest priest, innovative humble shepherd, a very dear friend. He is with Jesus whom he proclaimed with eloquent words, spoken and written, in all arena of human life. Who can take his place? My tears flow.”

Three New Deacons

In a simple and very solemn celebration of the Eucharist marking the end the Year of the Priests, Bishop Rudy Beltran ordained three new deacons for Bontoc-Lagawe in the morning of 19 June 2010 at the Sta. Rita Cathedral, Bontoc, Mountain Province. They are Jeason A. Cabacab, Ferdinand M. Fullatao, and Harry James Gawongna.
Present in the celebration are the priests of Bontoc-Lagawe; Fr. Gerard Borja, CM, rector of De Paul House of Formation, who presented Deacons Ferdie and Harry to the Bishop in the Ordination Rite; Fr. Manuel Flores, Jr., spiritual director of Immaculate Conception School of Theology in Vigan City; who in turn presented Deacon Jeason. There were also the parents of the ordinands, lay people of Talubin, Bontoc from where Rev. Ferdie hails, lay people of Mayoyao, Ifugao from where Rev. Harry hails, and lay people of Bauko from where Rev. Jeason hails.
In his homily, Bishop Rudy explained the deacon as primarily a servant of people. He also echoed the call of Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Rosales of Manila to conversion of the priests. He said that the holiness of priests must outshine the holiness of the lay people.
After the Mass, there was a program showcasing the dances of the different groups present in the occasion. A simple lunch was also served to everyone present. Bro. Russel Habungan, our seminarian regent staying in Bontoc, served as commentator in the mass and emcee of the program.
After this event, Rev. Harry would go back to Saint Vincent School of Theology to finish his studies. Rev. Ferdie would be wrapping up his thesis and some final requirements also at SVST and sooner would be given an assignment. Rev. Jeason had been in Bauko assisting the parish priest, Fr. Armand Quindo, who was currently on vacation.
This latest ordination brings the number of our deacons to five. Deacon Ricardo Amiling is presently assigned to Butigue, Paracelis. He was absent in the ordination because of illness. Deacon Ricardo Samonte is now taking care of Sabangan Catholic Mission.

PASTORAL LETTER on the National Elections: "Let our Faith in the Risen Lord Eradicate what is Evil in Politics

Dear People of God in the Basic Ecclesial Communities (BECs) and Barangays, we greet you with the same greeting of the Lord Jesus Christ after His resurrection from the dead: "Peace be with you!" His greeting and blessing for His followers is peace. Peace is a relationship of fairness among the people and a situation of well-being within a community.

When the followers of the Lord who are in Government, in Civil Society and in the Church work together for the reduction of poverty and for the well-being of the people, there will be genuine peace in our Land. You who are in the grassroot level - the BECS and the Barangays - are especially called by the risen Lord Jesus. He tells you today, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you" (John 20:21). Also, He assures us, "And I will be with you always, to the end of the age" (Matthew 28:20). We, therefore, have nothing to fear.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, especially the registered voters, the Lord is calling you to take courage and aspire for the common good of the people. Let us all work together to reject the evil of vote-buying and vote-selling. Let us not sell our dignity as voters and as Children of God. Let us not sell our future and the future of the young people. Judas sold our Lord Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, but for us who are faithful followers let us not sell our sacred votes. There is no justifiable reason to sell or buy votes in the eyes of God because vote-buying and vote selling is a terrible evil in our political affairs.

We appeal to all elders and Senior Citizens to let your light continue burning. As disciples of the Risen Lord Jesus, uphold our indigenous and Gospel values of honesty and fairness in choosing candidates for political leadership and public service. You are looked upon as source of good counsel because of what you have realized through the years of life's journey with the guidance of the Spirit of the Lord. As living examples to the young generation, you have the mission of our Lord Jesus Christ to help eradicate the sin of vote-buying and vote-selling.

We appeal to all young people to maintain your idealism even when you see the unfaithfulness of some voters who readily sell their votes. Do not lose hope but remain faithful in verbally opposing any existence of vote-buying and vote-selling.

To those who are greatly tempted to sell their votes because of poverty or any great need, remember the words of the Prophet Isaiah, "Be comforted, my people, be strengthened, says your God" (Isaiah 40:1). You are being assured by the prophet of God that divine assistance is sure to come. It is the Lord God who will eventually remove the bondage of poverty over you by sending dedicated people to work for the common good and real development of poor communities.

To those who are all too willing to become instruments of vote-buying, listen to what the Prophet Isaiah has to say: "These people approach me in words; they honor me with lip-service, while their hearts stay afar... Woe to those who hide deep from God their plans, who work in the dark and say, "Who will know and who will see us?" (Isaiah 29: 13,15). Repentance is the way to salvation. Do not tempt those voters who are in dire need into committing the sin of selling votes. The prophet has this warning to you vote-buyers, "Woe to those who rob the poor of their rights and deprive the helpless of justice!... what will you do on the day of punishment? Where will you flee for help when disaster suddenly comes? Where will you save your wealth? You can do nothing but cringe among the captives and exiles or fall down among the slain. Yet for all this God's anger does not subside, his hand is ready to strike" (Isaiah 10:1-4).

Brothers and sisters in the Family of God, if we are one in unity and solidarity to eradicate vote-buying and vote-selling, the Lord God promises us through the Prophet Ezekiel, "I shall give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I shall remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I shall put my spirit within you and move you to follow my decrees and keep my laws. You will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you shall be my people and I will be your God. I will free you from all your uncleanness. I shall summon the wheat to make it plentiful and so keep famine away from you. I shall see that the fruits of the earth and the produce of the fields are plentiful and that you no longer suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations" (Ezekiel 36:26-30).

Brothers and sisters in the risen Lord Jesus Christ, the message of the Prophet Ezekiel is clear: let us trust in the promise of God our Creator rather than trust in the promises of those who are trying to buy their leadership and public service. As faithful disciples, let us change what is evil in politics and make it clean. Let us bear witness to the Word of God and transform patronage politics into good governance. Together with the Lord and by His grace, we can make a change.

May the Lord of our Salvation bless and protect us. Amen.

Bishop Claver Undergoes Surgery

At 4:11pm of 04 May 2010, a text message from Fr. Junjun Borres, SJ, the new Rector of San Jose Seminary confirms the completion of the surgery of Bishop Cisco Claver, SJ at the Cardinal Santos Memorial Hospital. Aside from the triple bypass done on his heart, the mitral vein is also operated on. "He is looking okay," the surgeon says after the surgery

Bishop Rudy and the priests of Bontoc-Lagawe are happy with the news.

It will be recalled that some two weeks ago, Bishop Claver has been rushed to the Cardinal Santos Hospital after having fallen in his room. After some initial check-up, his doctors has advised that he needed to undergo heart operation. After explaining to him the chances of undergoing triple bypass, Bishop Cisco decided to go for it.

Fr. Martin Jaeggi writes from Europe

As you may know by now, Fr. Martin Jaeggi is on a 6-month sabbatical from January to June 30, 2010. We expect him to be back in the first week of July.
Here is an e-mail (unedited) he has sent Fr. Tugs de Guzman, who is also the Vicariate Director for Media and Communications, on April 17, 2010, during the spread of the ashfall in Europe caused by a previous eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokul volcano on April 13:

Dear Tugs,
sitting in the train to Munich I return to long neglected duties: to answer some mail...
Funny: whereas practically all European airports are closed the railways are overfilled. So this morning I was told that I will have to stand from Zürich to Munich - some 4 hours. All the seats booked already. As I came to Zürich the wagon I entered was nearly empty...
I will attend a Bibliodrama with my old 'guru' Rudi Pöhl SVD.

Time is flying indeed! I guess Maurice Galasa will have left for Zambia already. Do you have an e-mail of his? He gave it to me but I lost it...
the clergy recollection July 12-16 is entered in my agenda. Do you know already where it will take place?

The week from April 26 I intend to travel to Barletta, in the south of Italy, to see OSB sisters from Vigan. Passing Rome I hope to meet Marcs, of course. Any news about Saps taking up his studies in Europe? Any news about William? What are his (or Bishop Rudi's) plans (with him)?
And what about St. Peter's seminary, your old / your new crew?
How is Teng-ab without Fr. Bong? And how is Manny's health? - many questions...
Take it easy - as much as you can - and enjoy life as much as I do!!!
Greetings to Bp. Rudy and everybody!

Natonin has Another Clergy

In the morning of 20 March 2010, Rev. Ricardo M. Amiling Jr. was ordained deacon at the San Carlos Seminary Main Chapel. Presided by Bishop Bernardino Cortez, D.D., the occasion saw five other deacons, including two Vietnamese, all from San Carlos, ordained.
Rev. Rick is the second son of Natonin to be ordained this year. On 05 March 2010, Fr. Denden Iddoba was ordained the first priest of Natonin in their hometown.
Present in the event at San Carlos were Frs. Bento Tamang, Vocations Director; Denden Iddoba of Bontoc Catholic Mission; Tugs de Guzman, Chancellor of Bontoc-Lagawe; and Bro. Vincent Pinaching of San Jose Seminary, also a son of Natonin. The family of Rev. Rick was also present.
In the Catholic Church, the term "clergy" is used to refer to those who are ordained ministers. Deacons, priests, and bishops are technically part of the clergy.

First Priest of Natonin

In a show of love and support from the whole Vicariate of Bontoc-Lagawe, the Catholic Mission Station of Natonin has witnessed the very first ordination to the priesthood of a true son, Fr. Den Christian Balaso Iddoba on 05 March 2010.
Thousands of people including the clergy of BonLag gathered under the town's covered court to celebrate this big event. No less than our own Bishop Rudy Beltran led the Eucharistic celebration. Noteworthy was the presence of Bishop Carlito Cenzon, CICM of the Diocese of Baguio whose early assignment as a young priest included Natonin.
Two of Natonin's sons who were also expecting to follow Fr. Denden's steps were present in the occasion, Bro. Rick Amiling Jr. from San Carlos Seminary, and Bro. Vincent Pinaching from San Jose Seminary, both from Manila.
After the occasion, Fr. Tugs de Guzman, Chancellor of Bontoc-Lagawe, announced the new assignment of Fr. Denden. He would be the official assistant mission rector of Bontoc Catholic Mission. The ordination to the Diaconate of another Natonin son, Rick Amiling Jr. was also announced. Bro. Rick would be ordained deacon on 20 March 2010 at the San Carlos Seminary Main Chapel.
Among the happiest in this special event was Fr. Pablo Lumiwan, Mission rector of Natonin Catholic Mission, who had been on the frontline preparing for this historical event.
