FROM THE BARREL OF MY PEN


MIRACLES STILL HAPPEN TODAY


Fellow Filipinos, allow me to say Heaven’s mandate came down on May 10th, Election Day in the Philippines, and anointed Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino as the next president. Only God knows the reason why. Why He chose a neophyte but honest politician to rule the country beset with millions of problems only an Angel of the Lord can solve.

Is it because Noynoy’s father sacrificed his life for freedom and democracy while his mother dismantled dictatorship and restored democracy for her once subjugated people?

Or perhaps God would not want to tolerate anymore the rule of plunderers of the people’s resources.

Or perhaps God would not want to risk anymore the welfare of the people at the hands of greedy politicians and their minions?

Let’s again consider a story in the Bible how God plucked a shepherd boy to rule Israel and defeat the ungodly conquering Philistines.

There is another story how God anointed a slave to rule Egypt in order to restore prosperity in the land.

Miracles still happen today, my friends. And Noynoy’s victory is truly one of them.
