Earlier: happy doctor & patient. Thanks Dr Jojo for being best urologist in universe. You are in several chapters of #RansomedByLove; you were God’s instrument in transforming my cancer from a burden into a gift! And thank you for waiving your professional fees “para sa bayan”.

RT @VaticanNews: Gospel of the Day (Mark 7,1-13) "Well did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written: 'This people honors me…

ATM group discussions in my UST Environmental Law class on concepts from Laudato Is and Fratelli Tutti: integral ecology, ecology of daily life, intergenerational equity, the Good Samaritan, and political love. They have to give concrete examples of every concept.

Seriously, I write about these great nurses in #RansomedByLove: Thank you also to the nurses in Cancer Center of Diliman Doctors Hospital: Christian Ian ES Alverio, Aeron Dave P Gaon, Alfredo H. Latoza Jr., & Rodamir G. Alfonso for their incredible service to patients like me.

For mayors of the two cities I call home, of course I endorse my brother Pompee La Viña for Cagayan de Oro and fellow Jesuit volunteer Joy Belmonte for QC. They are the best and brightest.

A House of Representatives with Colmenares, Zarate, Gaite, De Lima, Baguilat, Tañada, Elago, Tinio, Co, Mendoza, and Diokno will be awesome.

I will of course vote for Kiko, Heidi, & Bam. I have worked with them for many years as they have competence & integrity. I wished they allied with Makabayan and PLM because this Robredo supported slate slate seemed so elitist even if the candidates themselves are pro-poor.

For sure, I will vote for Luke and Leody. Like the Makabayan candidates, I am aligned with their vision and platform.

Alternatively, if Makabayan offered a complete slate, I would vote for that, because I like the idea of block voting for a political party or coalition.

I am most aligned with Makabayan in vision and platform. I wished though that they struck an alliance with PLM as they are completely aligned ideologically with that group and with the Robredo supported candidates so we would have a broad alliance.

Gospel of the Day (Mark 6,53-56) Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.

In my memoir. I thank Grace & Lloyd for asking me to be Myles’ lawyer. We recalled the bail hearings in Bais and the first time I met Ben Ramos. When Ben was killed, Grace was the first to tell me. That was seven years ago. Keri pa rin. But hopefully this can end well soon.

Myles was even curious about the Mindanao dream project and what happened to my co-organizer. Thats a long story I have to tell her in my next visit.

Salamat everyone for coming in full force today. Keri natin ito!

ATM done with the hearing at the Court of Appeals.
