Apolinario de la Cruz (July 22, 1815 – November 4, 1841), known as Hermano Pule,
Spanish for "Brother Pule" also spelled Hermano Puli, was a Filipino religious
leader who founded and led the Cofradía de San José. The cofradía was
established in 1832 in response to the racial discrimination of the Catholic
Church in the Philippines. During the Spanish colonial period, Catholic
religious orders refused to admit native Filipinos as members. In retaliation,
Pule established his own religious order which was exclusive for native
Filipinos.

The Miracle at Lipa Carmel)
Our Lady of Mediatrix of All Graces (Tagalog: Aming
Inang Tagapamagitan ng lahat ng Biyaya) is an alleged Marian apparition
that took place in the Carmelite Monastery of Batangas, Philippines, to
a religious postulant, Teresita Castillo. The apparition is known in the
Philippines for the rose petals which showered within the vicinity of
the monastery, some bearing religious Catholic imagery which believers
hold to be miraculous.
Initially declared by a local bishop as
non-supernatural in 1951, the case was reopened in 1991 and is pending
investigation by the Holy See while the Metropolitan Archbishop Ramon
Arguelles of Archdiocese of Lipa find "no objection in the veneration of
Mary and its doctrine" under this title. Presently, the Marian
veneration is tolerated and endorsed by the Archdiocese of Lipa and the
Archdiocese of Manila.
On March 3, 2011, Pope Benedict XVI was presented a
Mediatrix statue by Bishop Guillermo Afable during the Catholic Bishops'
Conference of the Philippines Ad Limina visit, to which the pontiff was
photographed and exclaimed ''La Madonna!" in a surprised happy gesture.
On March 9, 2011, a life-sized Mediatrix statue brought by Filipino
bishops was publicly displayed in the general Wednesday papal audience
at Pope Paul VI Audience Hall.
The religious image described and sculpted
according to the vision of Teresita Castillo is licensed and approved by
the Archdiocese of Manila for public veneration in various Filipino
religious communities. Philippine Ambassador to the Holy See, Madam
Mercedes Arrastia Tuason is a known devotee of the Marian title and
displays a large statue in her consulate office in Rome.

The pope’s support for civil unions does not change Catholic doctrine about

any sexual relationship outside a marriage is sinful and that, in the Catholic
view, marriage – different from civil unions – is between a man and a woman.

The ruins of Old Pantabangan Town is an eerie sight.
Mario Alvaro Limos July 31 2020
The historic town of Pantabangan in Nueva Ecija was abandoned in the 1970s when
floodwater from
the
newly created dam submerged the town and its environs.
Residents were forced to relocate on higher ground, but many pieces of heritage
were lost to the rising waters. Among them, an 18th-century church whose belfry
stood out above the water like the outstretched arm of a drowning relic.
“Augustinian missionaries started to propagate the seed of Catholicism in
Nueva Ecija then collectively part of Pampanga as early as 17th century in the
pueblos of Gapang (Gapan), Santor (Bongabon), Puncan (Carranglan), Pantabangan,
Aliaga and Cuyapo,” wrote Baniaga in his Facebook post, describing the
history of the church’s ruins.
“Let us not take pieces of rocks and bricks as souvenirs. If every visitor to
the Old Town would do this, there won’t be anything left to see for the future
generations.”
