NLCOM Assists Over One Thousand Families In General Santos City

July 11, 2026July 11, 2026carlocarrasco

New Life Community Care Foundation International, Inc. (NLCOM) – the compassion arm of New Life Philippines located inside Alabang Hills Village in Muntinlupa City – provided assistance and much-needed relief to more than one thousand families in General Santos City who were impacted by the powerful Mindanao earthquake.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the July 5 social media announcement by NLCOM. Some parts in boldface…

From June 22–25, we had the privilege of serving earthquake-affected communities across General Santos City, Sarangani, T’Boli (South Cotabato), and nearby areas. During those few days, we distributed relief assistance to 1,100 families, installed 17 community water filtration systems, and conducted Psychological First Aid (PFA) to help children, families, and communities.

Every disaster reminds us that the need is always greater than our capacity. While we thank God for every relief bag distributed, every family reached, every community given access to clean water, and every conversation that brought comfort, we also recognize that there are still many who need help, hope, and healing.

Our prayer is not simply to do more, but to be more prepared—to continue equipping ourselves, strengthening partnerships, and responding with excellence whenever communities are faced with crisis. We pray that God will continue to expand our capacity so that more lives can be served, more families can receive practical care, and more hearts can experience His love through the Church.

As we look ahead, we invite you to continue standing with us. Pray for the communities that are still rebuilding, pray for our local church partners, and if God is stirring your heart to be part of future disaster response efforts, we’d love to connect with you.

Israel To Extend Earthquake Aid In Venezuela

July 10, 2026July 9, 2026carlocarrasco

In response to the official request of Venezuela’s interim president Delcy Rodriguez, Israel has agreed to extend earthquake aid in the South American nation by an additional two weeks, according to a news report by The Jerusalem Post.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of The Jerusalem Post. Some parts in boldface.

The Israeli aid delegation’s earthquake relief work in Venezuela will continue for an additional two weeks after interim president Delcy Rodriguez met with Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar to request the extension, the Foreign Ministry and the IDF announced on Wednesday.

The decision was approved by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

With a small delegation of only 30 people, Israeli presence in Venezuela has been focused on designing a national reconstruction plan, which Rodriguez hopes to begin implementing.

As part of the plan, the IDF began mapping and categorizing approximately 1,300 buildings on Monday, classifying them as either to be demolished or potentially salvageable despite damage.

Additionally, IDF Brig.-Gen. Elad Edri said that the IDF engineers have provided guidance to Venezuela on handling debris from damaged buildings.

‘Out of the box thinking’ as earthquake death toll rises – The multi-year plan is a major accomplishment of the Israeli delegation, and Venezuela approved it within days, rather than the weeks or months it would normally take to develop.

Edri said the severity of the disaster warranted rapid, out-of-the-box thinking.

Following the June 24 earthquake, the IDF delegation flew out of Israel on June 30 and landed in Venezuela on July 1 after multiple complex stopovers, Edri said.

He explained that, given the current chaos, other delegations who wanted to assist with the disaster have needed four to five days of travel and waiting to reach disaster-stricken sites.

Even the IDF could not fly directly into Caracas; they flew into Valencia instead and then traveled domestically to Caracas.

On Sunday, the Venezuelan Information Ministry announced that the death toll had risen to 3,342. The new tally also puts the number of injured at 16,470, while the number of homeless has risen to 17,345.

To all my readers, I encourage you to thank the Lord for this breakthrough of cooperation between Israel and Venezuela. Not so long ago during the rule of the dictator Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela was hostile towards Israel and took sides with the Palestinians. With Maduro gone (thanks to the United States under President Donald Trump’s leadership), Venezuela now has a new leader and there has been a series of changes that happened since.

As such, I encourage you all to pray to the Lord for Israel and Venezuela to become allies and willing diplomatic partners in this chaotic world we live in. Pray also to Him for the continued recovery of Venezuela whose people suffered so much not only from the recent earthquake but also from the decades-long economic deterioration under their dictators.

Always be the fearless and aggressive church of Lord Jesus!

I Love Israel: Israel Donates Emergency Tents And Relief Items To Support Mindanao Earthquake Victims

June 26, 2026June 22, 2026carlocarrasco

The Embassy of Israel in the Philippines donated emergency tents and assorted relief items to support the communities in Mindanao who suffered from the recent earthquake that hit the region, according to the social media post of Operation Blessing Philippines. The donations were released through MASHAV. The other relief items can be seen in Operation Blessing Philippines’ social media post pictures.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the social media post of Operation Blessing Philippines. Some parts in boldface.

New emergency tents donated by the Embassy of Israel in the Philippines through MASHAV have been turned over to Operation Blessing to support communities affected by the recent earthquake in Mindanao.

For many families who lost their homes — or have been advised not to return due to safety concerns — these tents represent more than temporary shelter. They provide protection, privacy, and a safe place to rest as communities begin to recover.

The need remains urgent across many affected areas, with families still staying in evacuation centers and makeshift shelters. This generous donation will help us reach more communities and bring a measure of comfort and dignity to those who have lost so much.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Embassy of Israel and MASHAV for standing with the people of Mindanao in this difficult time. Together, we are bringing help, hope, and healing to families in need.

To all my readers, I encourage you to thank the Lord for the very generous donation made by the Israeli Embassy with the involvement of MASHAV. For a long time now, Israel has provided relief and assistance to Filipinos in past disasters and other tragedies. No matter what the anti-Semitic and what the Islamo-Leftists say, Israel is the essential partner for the Philippines to have.

At the same time, I encourage you all to realize the truth that Israel is the land God designated specifically for the Jewish people (read Genesis 35:10-12) and His command must be followed without hesitation. If you want to be blessed further by the Lord, do so by loving and blessing the Jewish people (Genesis 12:1-3). I did my part when I was in Israel. Also, let me remind you all that the ties between the Jews and Christians are truly biblical!

I encourage you all to pray to the Lord God in support of Israel, to love and bless the Jewish people, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

If you truly believe in Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God the Heavenly Father wholeheartedly and you continue to be faithful, you should be aware that Christians are meant to stand united with Israel and love the Jewish people no matter what. You can do your part supporting Israel by donating to Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Do not forget to read the Holy Bible, then pray in tongues to the Lord in the privacy of your room with the door shut.

Always be the fearless and aggressive church of Lord Jesus!

NLCOM Assists Several Fire Victims In Parañaque City

May 25, 2026May 21, 2026carlocarrasco

New Life Community Care Foundation International, Inc. (NLCOM) – the compassion arm of New Life Philippines located inside Alabang Hills Village in Muntinlupa City – provided assistance and relief to several people in Parañaque City who lost their homes and belongings to fire. In fact, there were two different communities in the city that got hit by fire.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the entire May 20 social media announcement by NLCOM. Some parts in boldface…

Over 1,000 families were left homeless when fire hit Target Range 2 Dela Rama st. last May 1 and San Antonio Village on May 6 both of which are located in Parañaque City.

But in the midst of tragedy, kindness continues to shine. Last Thursday, NLCOM reached out to about 800 of these fire-affected families through a relief operation filled with care, prayer, and support.

Through the generosity of our donors and volunteers, families received essential goods and encouragement during this difficult time. More than the relief packs distributed, our prayer is that each family felt seen, supported, and reminded that they are not alone.

Seeing the hope and strength in their eyes filled our hearts with gratitude and renewed purpose. Thank you to everyone who helped make this outreach possible. Please continue to keep the affected families in your prayers as they rebuild their homes and lives.

Muntinlupa GO Bags Released To Residents Living Along West Valley Fault

March 30, 2026March 25, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, the City Government of Muntinlupa officially started distributing GO Bags (emergency kits filled with essential supplies good for 72 hours) to the local residents living along the West Valley Fault, according to a news report by the Manila Bulletin.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government started distributing go-bags to families living along the West Valley Fault, which transects several cities.

A go-bag is an emergency kit containing essential supplies that can be used in the first 72 hours of a disaster. It aims to help families be ready in times of earthquake or other emergencies.

The city government distributed the bags to families in Purok Uno, Mendiola Street, in Barangay Alabang through the Muntinlupa City Department of Disaster Resilience and Management.

Priority in the distribution of go-bags are families living along the fault line and areas considered as high-risk in ground movement.

“Unang tanong ng marami: bakit hindi lahat? Simple lang ang sagot—may prioritization tayo. Unang binibigyan ang mga pamilyang nasa high-risk areas, lalo na yung malapit sa West Valley Fault. Sila ang pinakaunang maaapektuhan sakaling magkaroon ng malakas na lindol, kaya doon tayo unang tumutok (The first question many people ask: why not everyone? The answer is simple—we prioritize. Families in high-risk areas are given first, especially those near the West Valley Fault. They are the first to be affected in the event of a major earthquake, so that is where we focus first),” said Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon.

He added, “Hindi ito tungkol sa kung sino ang mauuna lang makatanggap; tungkol ito sa kung saan pinaka-kailangan (It is not about who will receive it first; it is about where it is needed most).”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, do you think more GO Bags should be released to more households in the city in the near future?

You may answer in the comments below. If you prefer to answer privately, you may do so by sending me a direct message online.

Muntinlupa City Opposes Parañaque Spillway Project

March 26, 2026March 25, 2026carlocarrasco

Recently in the progressive City of Muntinlupa, Mayor Ruffy Biazon formally signed a resolution from the City Council which opposes the implementation of the Parañaque Spillway Project as it will negatively affect local residents, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa Mayor Ruffy Biazon signed a City Council resolution opposing the Parañaque Spillway Project which will displace families in the city.

Muntinlupa Resolution No. 2026-275 reiterates “the City of Muntinlupa’s opposition to the implementation of Paranaque Spillway Project.”

“Pinirmahan ko ang Resolution No. 2026-275 na muling nagpapatibay sa opisyal na pagtutol ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa sa Parañaque Spillway Project. Noon pang unang termino ko, malinaw na ang posisyon natin dito. Tutol tayo dahil sa direktang epekto sa komunidad, lao sa mga lehitimong residenteng madi-displace ng proyekto (I signed Resolution No. 2026-275 which reaffirms the official opposition of the City of Muntinlupa to the Parañaque Spillway Project. Since my first term, our position on this has been clear. We oppose it because of the direct impact on the community, especially on the legitimate residents who will be displaced by the project), said Biazon.

Biazon said in 2022 the city held a public hearing about the project. In 2023, Biazon sent a letter to the Department of Public Works and Highways to express his opposition to the project. A resolution was passed in 2024 about this.

“Maging ang ating mga barangay ay nagpahayag na rin ng pagtutol, gaya ng naging desisyon ng Barangay Buli noong 2021 na humihiling na ilipat ang proyekto sa mas angkop na lugar. Sa pinakahuling resolusyon na primarily authored by Konsehal Jonas Abadilla, binibigyang-diin din na bumubuo ang lungsod ng isang komprehensibong drainage master plan para sa pangmatagalang solusyon sa pagbaha sa Muntinlupa (Even our barangays have expressed their opposition, such as the decision of Barangay Buli in 2021 requesting the relocation of the project to a more suitable location. In the latest resolution primarily authored by Councilor Jonas Abadilla, it is also emphasized that the city is developing a comprehensive drainage master plan for a long-term solution to flooding in Muntinlupa),” the mayor added.

The new resolution stated that the DPWH announced that the project will proceed this year.

In February, Biazon signed a memorandum of agreement with the “University of the Philippines (UP), for the formulation of Drainage Master Plan for the City Of Muntinlupa, aimed to develop its Drainage Master Plan (DMP), which will serve as the basis for the city’s comprehensive flood management strategy.”

“The City of Muntinlupa reiterates its stand that The Project proponents should present concrete alternate solutions that will lessen/mitigate The Project’s impact on the constituents of the City, more particularly the people of Barangay Buli,” according to the resolution.

It added, “The sentiments of the most affected barangay in the City of Muntinlupa was embodied in Kapasiyahang Barangay ng Buli Bilang 018-2021 Serye 2021 or Kapasiyahang Barangay na Naglalayong Ipalipat sa Orihinal na Planong Pagtatayuan nito o sa iba pang Angkop na Lugar ang Proyekto ng Gobyerno na ‘Paranaque Spillway.’”

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you concerned that the Parañaque Spillway Project will displace local residents and worsen flooding in the city? Do you think the DPWH will eventually listen to the City Government and halt the project?

What to watch on YouTube right now – Part 121

February 4, 2026February 1, 2026carlocarrasco

Welcome back my readers, YouTube viewers and all others who followed this series of articles focused on YouTube videos worth watching. Have you been searching for something fun or interesting to watch on YouTube? Do you feel bored right now and you crave for something to see on the world’s most popular online video destination?

I recommend you check out the following videos I found.

#1 Discover Shiriyaki Onsen In Japan’s Kanto Region – Japan has a lot of wonderful sites and special places of nature that are worth visiting. Within the Kanto region (which contains Tokyo) is the wonderful place called Shiriyaki Onsen which stands out nicely among the hot springs there. Nippon TV recently produced a feature of the place and you can find out more by watching the video below.

#2 Disasters That Hit Cruise Ships And Troubled The Passengers –Spending days at sea on a cruise ship can be a nice way of having a vacation with momentum. However, bad weather conditions can ruin such vacations. Worse, the cruise could turn into bouts of danger and already there have been cruise ships that got hit hard with bad weather at sea which in turn placed the passengers in deep danger. Even as they are inside the cruise ship during powerful storms and big waves at sea, passengers and the crew have to deal with interior damage, falling debris and furniture that moved a lot. You can learn about what happened to the unfortunate ones at sea by watching the video below.

#3 You, Me and the Movies React To Orca: The Killer Whale – When Steven Spielberg and Universal Pictures struck box office gold with Jaws in 1975, it was not surprising that many filmmakers and producers scrambled to cash in on the “creature feature” trend of movies at that time. Indeed, there were imitations or “monster movies” that were inspired by Jaws released during the late 1970s. One of those films was Orca: The Killer Whale (AKA Orca) which had a lot of similarities with Spielberg’s massive blockbuster due to it featuring an aquatic monster and having the sea as the main environment. Still, Orca has certain creative elements that made it stand out in a very disturbing way and its cast has Richard Harris, Charlotte Rampling and Bo Derek. To find out about Orca, watch the movie reaction video below.

#4 The Monster Squad Revisited – What can be said about The Monster Squad? The 1987 movie directed by Fred Dekker was a failure in the American box office and yet it still has a dedicated fan base. A lot of people who support the movie point to its monster lineup composed of horror movie icons like Dracula, Frankenstein’s monster, the mummy, the wolfman and the creature from the black lagoon. As such, it is not surprising to see YouTubers make retrospective features and reaction/review videos about The Monster Squad which have been posted below for your viewing.

#5 The Many Ports Of Final Fantasy IV – Since it was first released in Japan on the Super Famicom, Final Fantasy IV became a critical and commercial success. It was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) in America titled as “Final Fantasy II” which further expanded the game’s reach with many gamers who don’t understand Japanese. Furthermore, the classic Japanese role-playing game (JRPG) was ported to multiple systems through the decades and it even had a 3D polygonal remake on the Nintendo DS. To find out the many ports of Final Fantasy IV and which ones stood out technically and visually, watch and learn from the video below.

#6 Ranting For Vengeance Hits Woke Hijackers On Resident Evil – Let us be very clear here. The woke/socialist/LGBTQ/commie/SJW mob cannot help but be very loud with their twisted ideology and they simply cannot stop themselves from literally hijacking pop culture as we know it. In this case, the Leftists are trying to claim the Resident Evil games franchise for themselves and they are only getting worse as the release of Resident Evil Requiem moves closer. In response to this, Ranting For Vengeance posted three RE-related videos, slammed the woke mob and exposed who the fake fans are. You can find out more by watching his videos below.

Muntinlupa City Launches Nation’s First-Ever Citywide Early Warning System For The Hearing-Impaired

November 10, 2025November 9, 2025carlocarrasco

Recently in the City of Muntinlupa, the City Government officially launched the Philippines’ first-ever citywide early warning system (EWS) for the deaf and those who are living with hearing loss, according to a GMA Network news report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the GMA News. Some parts in boldface…

Muntinlupa City has become the first in the Philippines to launch a citywide early warning system to ensure that people who are deaf or hard of hearing receive timely life-saving information during emergencies.

Developed by the city’s Department of Disaster Resilience and Management (DDRM), the system uses LED beacon lights that flash color-coded signals corresponding to different types of hazards, such as tropical cyclones, earthquakes, or other emergencies. When activated, the lights emit distinct flashing patterns to alert communities across the city.

Mayor Ruffy Biazon, who led the launch alongside Representative Jimmy Fresnedi this week, said the initiative reflects Muntinlupa’s commitment to making disaster preparedness accessible to all residents.

“Through this first-of-its-kind system, we’re making sure that every Muntinlupeño, especially those who cannot hear sirens or public announcements, receives life-saving warnings when it matters most,” Biazon said.

A total of 20 Beacon Lights have been installed in key locations, including schools, health centers, and major thoroughfares, as part of the pilot phase. Expansion plans are already underway, in partnership with the Persons with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO), to extend coverage to more communities.

The new visual alert network complements Muntinlupa’s existing 17 early warning system sirens, which deliver audible alerts citywide during disasters or emergencies.

Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you are a resident of Muntinlupa City, are you delighted to see the City Government achieve more awards? Do you see any excellence in the local governance in relation to urban developments?
