A Promise Fulfilled

by Bing del Rosario

As part of CTK fiesta celebrations, the parish contingent consisting of Buklod ng Panginoon (BnP) and Parish Pastoral Officers (PPO) visited Molave Youth Home in October. The BNP team led by Cita Pabillo and Agnes dela Cruz gave the CTK gift of three electric hair trimmers and in turn were entertained by song and dance numbers by the under-18 children. Before leaving„ Bing del Rosario asked what the kids wanted most for Christmas—and they all answered in resounding unison—KARAOKE!

In January 2020, Father Steve, with BnP head Cita Pabillo and PPOs Bing and Elise del Rosario, and Maan del Rosario paid a long-promised visit to the Molave Youth Home.

They brought the cherished Christmas wish, a kraoke machine specifically an Extreme MagicSing videoke system with two wireless mics that Bing and Elise previously bought Maan and Fred volunteered the TV set.

Despite being in the middle of their school lessons, the kids still managed to provide several song and dance numbers to entertain the visitors. Then they plugged the karaoke system and began to show off.

Amazing. Uplifting. But wait, there’s more. The parish priest would not be outdone!

Father Steve obliged with an acapella song written by FL Manoling Francisco and then showed off his karaoke prowess by singing his signature rock and roll song “Crazy Litde Thing Called Love.” Talk about variety in musical genres! The kids also presented homemade gifts to the visitors.

Christmas spirit indeed overflows the whole year round as CTK continues its caring giving as a “parish for others.”
