Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) is a term that encompasses critical thinking, problem solving, creative thinking, and decision making. When students are able to retrieve both new and stored information and correlate them to achieve a purpose or find answers in confusing situations, they are engaging in higher order thinking. It is very important for educators to incorporate higher order thinking in the curriculum and to promote its practice in the classroom for their students to grasp a better understanding of the lessons.There are several techniques that teachers can use to develop HOTS among their students. The most classic method is presenting higher order level situations or questions—those that are open-ended, with no single solutions or have multiple pathways to a solution— to generate discussion. This questioning process helps develop theminformationunderstandingstudents’oftheasitrequirestoanswerthrough reasoning and analysis rather than simply recalling the information from their memory. Moreover, facilitating collaborative discussions and dialogues allows the students to be aware of the limitations of their own knowledge, further encouraging them to engage creatively, respond innovatively, and evaluate carefully to arrive at the best answers to the questions and at the most rational understanding of the concepts. In sum, HOTS help students move beyond just remembering and recalling information and pushes them to deeply absorb and understand information. With teachers incorporating higher order thinking into their course plans, students’ long-term retention of the lessons are improved. Thus, techniques to enhance students’ HOTS are essential in teaching as they makes the students’ learning experience more productive.

AUTHORITIES here managed to haul P12.6 million worth of illegal drugs in August, the Police Regional Office in Northern Mindanao (PRO10) said Tuesday. A report by the PRO-10 Regional Operations Division showed a sustained adoption of various crime prevention programs and approaches during the period to maintain the "peace and tranquility in the region." The campaign against illegal drugs also produced 211 operations, resulting in the arrest of 258 drug personalities and confiscation of some 1,540 grams of shabu and 17.7 grams of marijuana. Brig. Gen. Lawrence Coop, PRO-10 director, said cooperation with government agencies, other law enforcement units, and the community were key elements in the success of the operations. "There will be no let in our efforts as we are more driven to enforce the law with the active support of the community," he said. Meanwhile, a total of 77 operations were also launched against loose firearms that resulted in the arrest of 26 persons and the recovery of 65 illegal guns. Seventy-three most wanted persons and 392 other law offenders were arrested in the same period. In the campaign against communist rebels, eight guerrillas were arrested, three died in police operations, and 57 surrendered. (PNA)

BSP cites broadening price pressures in PH SUPPLY-side factors continue to drive the country’s inflation rate, which decelerated to 6.3 percent last August after a five-month rise, as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) cited broadening price pressures.Lastmonth’s inflation rate slowed from the previous month’s 6.4 percent , bringing the average level to date to 4.9 percent, above the central bank’s 2-4 percent target. Year-ago inflation is lower at 4.4 percent. “The August 2022 inflation outturn of 6.3 percent is within the BSP’s forecast range of 5.9 to 6.7 percent, consistent with the BSP’s assessment of elevated price pressures over the near term due to broadening price pressures,” the central bank said in a statement on Tuesday.TheBSP said its baseline projections continue to point to an above-target rate of price increases this year “with inflation decelerating back to the target in 2023 and 2024 following the recent BSP policy rate hikes.” It said upside risks continue to dominate the central bank’s near-term inflation outlook “due to the potential impact of higher global non-oil prices, the continued shortage in domestic fish supply, the sharp increase in the prices of sugar, as well as pending petitions for transport fare increases.”“Meanwhile, the impact of a thebackandintendedpointsincreasedrates,centralthatthethediseaselocalasglobalweaker-than-expectedeconomicrecoverywellastheresurgenceofCovid-19(coronavirus2019)infectionsaremaindownsideriskstooutlook,”itadded.TheBSPalsoreiteratedadjustmentsinthebank’skeypolicywhichhavebeenby175basissincelastMay,“aretobringinflationinflationexpectationstothetargettoensurebalancedandsustainable growth of the economy in the medium term.”
Digital bank exec eyes 10M active clients in 5 years
AN official of GoTyme Bank, one of the six digital banks allowed by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) to operate in the country, aims to have 10 million active customers in five years. In an interview at the sidelines of the launch of the partnership between GoTyme Bank, Visa, and automated teller machine (ATM) and online banking channel network BancNet on Tuesday, GoTyme Bank chief executive officer Nathaniel Clarke said they are optimistic of achieving their target in five years given the large number of unbanked Filipinos. “We don’t think we’re going to be the biggest bank by asset size, (and) by lending books. We’re going to be the everyday bank for Filipinos,” he said. The digital bank will put up kiosks in every Robinsons supermarket nationwide, initially in the National Capital Region and major cities and then to other parts of the country. Its officials said printing of the ATM, which will have the same identification (ID) number as the client’s virtual card, will take around five minutes, thus they can accommodate a large volume of customers in a short period. Clarke said they plan to officially launch the digital bank’s kiosks by the mid-October this year. The digital bank is a joint venture among multicountry digital banking group Tyme, and members of the Gokongwei Group –Robinsons Bank, Robinsons Land Corporation, and Robinsons Retail Holding Inc.Gokongwei Group collectively holds 60 percent stake in the digital bank.The bank received its certificate of authority from the BSP last July 29. Digital banks are financial institutions that have no physical branches and operate end-to-end processes via electronic channels. (PNA)

Those Were the Days...
Member: Philippine CORPORATION Publisher
After Hearing the Cry of the Poor & of the Earth
Think a minute . . . Chris Spielman was a professional football player in the U.S. for 10 years. He was famous for his aggressive playing and tough tackling. But just before the 1998 professional football season, his wife discovered she had cancer. Chris chose to sit out an entire year of his professional career so he could give full-time care to his sick wife. He, in fact, helped her win her fight against cancer. A year later at the beginning of the 1999 football season, when he was returning to his career, Chris Spielman injured his neck so badly that he was forced to stop playing professional football for the rest of his life.Think of the sacrifice this husband made to take care of his wife. He never played professional football again. Yet Spielman told news reporters that he gladly chose to stop playing to care for his sick wife, since he loves her and their children much more than his career as a professional athlete. This is what he said to reporters: “I told my wife Stephanie that I want to be the one who takes her to the doctor for medicine and treatments. I want to be the one who holds her hand. I want to be the one who takes care of our kids when she is not able to.” It takes a truly strong man to let go of his own desires and dreams, so he can take care of his wife’s and children’s needs first. But that may be what it takes to be the “man of the house” that our wife and kids really need. Our challenge is that we do not naturally have that kind of inner strength and character to put our wife and children first. Yet that is what a real leader does: he serves the ones he is leading, even if

KIM'S DREAM ORLAN R. RAVANERA a light amidst the darkness, as the awakening process has now begun. One of these “lights” whom I met recently goes by the name of Genevieve De Dios Hussain who has exemplified the truism that all life forms emanated from the Unseen Being, the Source of all life, bannering the sacredness of all of God’s creation – thus, De Dios.Be it in her speech, printed on her t-shirt or the products that she is personally manufacturing like the healing oil that is amazingly curing the sick and even those afflicted by the pandemic, the biblical lines on John 15: 12-13 are glaringly declared: “My command is this: Love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this – to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” For her, such biblical lines are not just rhetorical but are emanating from her heart and inner self. Indeed, she has dived deep within into herself that connect her to the Universal Intelligence, to the Unseen Eternal Being deep within and feel that oneness especially with the poor and with Gaia (Mother Earth). That transcendental dimension has connected her to a Universal Intelli gence that seems to whisper or provide her the amazing wisdom every time she prays

Love Healsforguidance.Afterhearing the cry of the poor, the oppressed and the downtrodden and feeling so much love for them and for Mother Earth, she has put in clear cat egorical term the essence of the biblical mandate to love one another as God loves us.

Indeed, she has spread out the truism that there are many God-given and ready medicines that are found in nature and she has discovered some power ful therapeutic solutions.
“From time to time, there appear on the face of the earth, men and women of consummate excellence who dazzle us by their virtue, and whose outstanding qualities shed a stupendous light. Like those extraordinary stars whose ori gins we are ignorant and whose fate, once they have vanished we know even less, such men and women have neither forebears nor descendants, they are the whole of their race.” At a time when the earth is facing planetary destruction and humanity is facing annihilation due to climate change and threats of nuclear war, not to men tion gross inequities under the regime of one percent perpetuated by corporate globalization, it is so amaz ing to know of the rising of spiritual consciousness that is rooted in awakenedbeingdimension.transcendentalAnewdayistrail-blazedbyanfewloominglike

THE Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the P15-billion debt securities program of Cebu Landmasters, Inc. Cebu Landmasters looks to raise P8 billion from the initial tranche of its shelf offering with series A bonds due 2026, series B bonds due 2028 and series C due 2029. As earlier approved by the board of directors of the company, the program will cover a principal amount of up to P5 billion and an oversubscription option of up to P3 billion. “The company could net up to P7.9 billion from the offer, which will be used for project development or capital expenditures for various real estate projects and for general corporate purposes,” the commission said.The first tranche will be offered at a face value from Sept. 26 to 30 and will be listed on the Philippine Dealing & Exchange Corp. by Oct. Cebu7. Landmasters engaged BPI Capital Corp. and China Bank Capital Corp. as joint issue managers, joint lead underwriters, and joint bookrunners for the offer.

18. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem, wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.
Copies of the BIR Zonal Valuation applicable to the subject property, Report on Counts of Improvements, Sworn Statement of Ownership/Undertaking with Waiver of Rights/Quitclaim with Acknowledgment Receipt, Right-of-Way Grant, as proof of payment of affected improvements and easement fee for the 84-square meter portion of the subject property, amounting to Php3,204.00, are attached and made an integral part of this complaint.
WHEREFORE, premises considered, plaintiff most respectfully prays of this Honorable Court to: 1. ISSUE a Writ of Possession in plaintiff’s favor; authorizing plaintiff to enter and take possession of the property subject of this complaint that will be affected by the construction and implementation of the Project, consisting of a total area of 149 square meters, more or less, as described in paragraph 8 hereof; demolish the affected improvement and/or structures standing therein; order all defendants to vacate the same; directing the Philippine National Police (PNP) to assist plaintiff in the implementation of the said writ of possession so that project construction can immediately commence even during the pendency of the case; direct the Registry of Deeds for the Province of Lanao del Norte to enter the Writ of Possession in the Primary Entry Book and annotate the same in the Registration Book pursuant to Section 69 of Presidential Decree No. 1529;2. After issuance of Writ of Possession, ISSUE an Order of Publication allowing plaintiff to effect service of summons to defendants Roel Carumba and Rodel Carumba and other defendants, if applicable, by publication, pursuant to Sections 16 and 17, Rule 14 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure; 3. ISSUE an Order of Expropriation declaring that the plaintiff has a lawful right to take possession and acquire the affected property specified in paragraph 8 hereof; 4. After the determination of just compensation, to authorize the payment thereof by plaintiff to defendants after deducting the capital gains and documentary stamp taxes for the transfer of the affected portion of Lot No. B-1, PSD-12032223, in the name of plaintiff, all other outstanding taxes under the National Internal Revenue Code, and all outstanding realty taxes and dues under the Local Government Code, which plaintiff shall remit to the Government; 5. ISSUE a judgment after determination of just compensation, declaring plaintiff as the lawful owner of the affected portion of Lot No. B-1, PSD-12-032223 consisting of a total area of 149 square meters, more or less, described in paragraph 8 hereof;5. a.DIRECT: The Registry of Deeds for the Province of Lanao del Norte to register and annotate the Order of Expropriation and Judgment on TCT No. T-23,500 or any certificate of title that may hereafter be issued covering the portion of the property subject of this case pursuant to Section 85 of Presidential Decree No. 1529; b. The Municipal Assessor of Baroy and/or Provincial Assessor of Lanao del Norte to cancel Tax Declaration No. H-150152 (03) and issue new and separate tax declaration in the name of plaintiff covering the portion of the subject property sought to be expropriated.

15. To comply with the deposit requirement, plaintiff, notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to it, shall deposit with the Honorable Court an amount equivalent to the 100% of the BIR zonal value of the land sought to be expropriated in the total amount of TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE PESOS (Php2,235.00), consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of the Project intended to benefit the public.

17. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the portion of the property and start the implementation of the project.
19. An action quasi in rem names a person as defendant, but its object is to subject that person’s interest in a property to a corresponding lien or obligation. In a proceeding quasi in rem, jurisdiction over the person of the defendant is not a prerequisite to confer jurisdiction on the court, provided that the latter has jurisdiction over the res. 20. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.

5. To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP), integral part of which is the KAUSWAGAN-LALA 230kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project). 6.

Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of their property.
5. To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP), integral part of which is the KOLAMBUGAN-LALA 20kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project).
P R A Y E R WHEREFORE , premises considered, plaintiff most respectfully prays of this Honorable Court to:
18. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem, wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.
17. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Thus, as cited in the said OCA Circular: “Municipality of Cordova v. Pathfinder Development Corporation cases emphasizes the mandatory issuance of the writ of possession upon the receipt of the required deposit. “No hearing is actually required for the issuance of a writ of possession, which demands only two (2) requirements: (a) the sufficiency in form and substance of the complaint; and, (b) the required provisional deposit x x x x Upon compliance with these requirements, the petitioner in an expropriation case is entitled to a writ of possession as a matter of right and the issuance of the writ becomes ministerial.” (Emphasis supplied)

Machine copies of the BIR Zonal Valuation applicable to the subject property, the Report on the Counts of Improvements, and Sworn Statement of Ownership/Undertaking with Waiver of Rights/Quitclaim with Acknowledgment Receipt, as proof of payment of affected improvements amounting to Php154,434.15, are attached and made as integral parts of this complaint.
12. Pursuant to Section 13 of R.A. 11361, Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure governs plaintiff’s expropriation cases. Under Section 2 of Rule 67 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure, plaintiff may already enter and possess the portion of the subject property during the pendency of the expropriation case.
Considering that: a) the identities, whereabouts, and specific address of the Heirs of Luigi Niño V. Hernando and Fernando H. Gordillo cannot be ascertained despite diligent inquiry; b) the specific addresses of defendants, Charlie V. Hernando, Edwin Hernando, Jesus H. Gordillo, Rosvic E. Gordillo, Jeric E. Gordillo, Mark Anthony E. Gordillo, Jhon Larry G. Sefuentes likewise cannot be ascertained; and c) Jane Sefuentes is residing in Japan, plaintiff undertakes to cause service of summons to them by publication pursuant to Sections 16 and 17, Rule 14 of the Revised Rules of Civil Procedure. 8. Plaintiff intends to expropriate portion of a parcel of unregistered land identified as Lot No. 5, situated in Brgy. Manga, Kolambugan, Lanao del Norte. The said property is declared in the name of the late Catalino and Cresencia Hernando, per Tax Declaration (TD) No. H-100327 (07). It is more particularly described below together with the affected area sought to be expropriated consisting of 1,409-square meters, as shown in the attached Sketch Plan and Technical Description,as follow:
11. Considering the urgent need for plaintiff to enter the subject property to implement and commence the necessary construction activities for its Project, plaintiff has no other recourse but to file the instant complaint.
14. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Thus, as cited in the said OCA Circular: “Municipality of Cordova v. Pathfinder Development Corporation cases emphasizes the mandatory issuance of the writ of possession upon the receipt of the required deposit. “No hearing is actually required for the issuance of a writ of possession, which demands only two (2) requirements: (a) the sufficiency in form and substance of the complaint; and, (b) the required provisional deposit x x x x Upon compliance with these requirements, the petitioner in an expropriation case is entitled to a writ of possession as a matter of right and the issuance of the writ becomes ministerial.” (Emphasis supplied)
15. In compliance with the notice requirement, plaintiff notified defendant through a Letter Offer of its intention to file an expropriation case if the possession over the subject property cannot be timely secured and/or issues regarding compensation for the subject property cannot be resolved except through judicial intervention. Plaintiff further serves, simultaneous with the filing of the instant Complaint, a Notice to Take Possession (attached as Annex “B”) upon the defendants.
3. Under Section 4 of the same law, plaintiff was granted the power of eminent domain, subject to the requirements of the Constitution and existing laws. 4. Plaintiff is engaged in the business of transmitting electric power from the generating plants of power producers to distributors. As such, plaintiff’s business is imbued with public interest.
16. To comply with the deposit requirement, plaintiff, notwithstanding that R.A. 10752 does not specifically apply to it, shall deposit with the Honorable Court an amount equivalent to the 100% of the BIR zonal value of the land sought to be expropriated in the total amount of SIXTY THREE THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED FIVE PESOS (Php63,405.00), consistent with the purpose of the said law and OCA Circular No. 113-2019 to simplify the deposit requirement in expropriation cases for the benefit of the defendants and in the interest of immediate implementation of the Project intended to benefit the public. 17. Upon deposit of the provisional amount, plaintiff would have fully complied with the requirements for the issuance of a writ of possession as mandated by law. 18. In a long line of cases and OCA Circular No. 113-2019, once the above requirements are complied with it, it becomes the ministerial duty of the trial court to issue the writ of possession in favor of the plaintiff, without need of any further hearing. Therefore, the Honorable Court can already immediately issue to the plaintiff an order to take possession of the portions of the property and start the implementation of the project. 19. Moreover, it must be emphasized that an expropriation proceeding is an action quasi in rem, wherein the fact that the owners of the property are made parties is not essentially indispensable insofar as it concerns the immediate taking of possession of the property and the preliminary determination of its value, including the amount to be deposited.

6. The said MVIP of NGCP is the first project certified by the Department of Energy (DOE) as an Energy Project of National Significance (EPNS) pursuant to R.A. 7638 of DOE Act of 1992, as amended, entitled to all the rights and privileges provided under Executive Order No. 30, series of 2017, as evidenced by the Certification dated 8 May 2018 issued by the Energy Investment Coordinating Council. Hence, the immediate completion and energization of the said project is critically important.
10. Plaintiff negotiated with defendants through Arcelito Gordillo, Valentina H. Hernandez, Melody Gordillo, and Winlove Gordillo, for the acquisition of the affected portion of the subject property and to pay the cost of improvements therein that may be damaged by the construction of the transmission line project. Defendants received the payment for the improvements; however, no agreement was reached between the parties as to the portion of the subject property affected by plaintiff’s tower site.
NOW THEREFORE , the abovementioned Defendants are hereby summoned and required to file with the Clerk of Court, Regional Trial Court, Branch 07, Tubod, Lanao del Norte, Philippines, their ANSWER to the above-quoted petition within sixty (60) days from publication of the summons and to serve copy of the said answer upon plaintiff’s counsel at his given address indicated in the complaint.

5. To address the country’s growing power demand and ensure continuous, reliable and efficient power supply, there is a need to interconnect the three (3) major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao into a single national grid. Aside from the sharing of systems reserve, the interconnection will also help optimize utilization of indigenous energy resources such as natural gas in Luzon, geothermal in the Visayas and hydro in Mindanao. Owing to this necessity, plaintiff must immediately construct the transmission lines that will transmit power to distributors of electricity not only in Mindanao but also in Luzon and Visayas. This undertaking is for the use and benefit of the public and part of it is known as the MINDANAO-VISAYAS INTERCONNECTION PROJECT (MVIP), integral part of which is the KAUSWAGAN-LALA 230kV TRANSMISSION LINE PROJECT (Project).

19. The purpose of summons in actions quasi in rem is not the acquisition of jurisdiction over the defendant but mainly to satisfy the constitutional requirement of due process. Since the issuance of writ of possession is ex-parte, ministerial, and non-litigious in nature, the issuance thereof, even prior to the service of summons, will not violate defendants’ right to due process as the same can be done even without defendants’ participation. Besides, the issuance of a writ of possession does not prevent defendants from raising objections to and defenses against the expropriation of his property.
3. Under Section 4 of the same law, plaintiff was granted the power of eminent domain, subject to the requirements of the Constitution and existing laws. 4. Plaintiff is engaged in the business of transmitting electric power from the generating plants of power producers to distributors. As such, plaintiff’s business is imbued with public interest.

The statement of Sultan Abdul Amoran, former com mander of the MILF Special Command Force who is halfMaranao half-Higaonon was even so informative upon re ceiving the herbal oil, he said, “Thank you for reviving the medicinal and health culture of the Indigenous Peoples as the IPs were actually advanced. In fact, my grandparents had lived for more than 100 years as no sickness or disease can triumph over them because of a healing oil like this.” But the amazing Genevieve’s role to cure the sick is not just confined to the poor and oppressed In digenous Peoples. For her, oneness with all of God’s creation is the highest form of worship. She has heard the cry not only of the poor but of Mother Nature. Love is not just confined to human beings as “loving one another” includes all the flora and fauna especially those who are crying for help as they are becoming extinct. Indeed, she is correct. Hundreds of species are becoming extinct daily, being erased from the face of the earth and they are crying to be heard. Genevieve heard their cry and with love oozing in heart, she is now working to regain back the lost ecologicalThatintegrity.oneness ex emplified by Genevieve with all of God’s creation especially with Mother Earth should now reverberate throughout the land Being one with the trees, with the birds, with the fish and with the flowers is indeed true love. Indeed, we must love one another as God loves us. When that hap pens, the homo sapiens will be transformed into espiri tus luminous or enlightened spirits which will be a great leap forward in humanity’s evolutionary growth. Thank you so much Genevieve for being that “kahayag” amidst the darkness of the troubled times. You have exemplified to the highest degree that human beings are indeed stewards of God’s creation anchored on the sacredness and oneness of all life forms. To that our firm salute and warm embrace – with love! at times it costs him his own personal needs and wants. This is why God showed us the perfect example of a real man and leader when He humiliated Himself by becoming a human being to suffer, die and sacrifice Himself for us whom He deeply loves. And Jesus wants to give you His same power and strength of character so you can become a true man and servant-leader of your family. A husband and father who will do whatever it costs to give the true love and leadership your wife and children need. That’s the only way you can provide for them the secure, happy life they long for. Won’t you ask Jesus to start changing your heart and character as the true “man of the house?” Just think a minute . . . from page 4
