I Love Israel: Israeli Ambassador Pays Respect To Mary Ann De Vera In Pangasinan

I Love Israel: Israeli Ambassador Pays Respect To Mary Ann De Vera In Pangasinan

Recently in the province of Pangasinan, Israeli Ambassador to the Philippines Dana Kursh visited the wake of Mary Ann De Vera to pay respect to her as well as to her family, the Embassy of Israel in the Philippines announced via social media.

Mary Ann De Vera died in Israel as a result of a missile attack committed by the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran. She worked there as a caregiver. De Vera’s family recently met with Israeli President Isaac Herzog in Jerusalem and later met with the ambassador here in the Philippines when the remains arrived.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the entire social media post of the Israeli Embassy. Some parts in boldface.

Amb Dana Kursh paid a visit to Pangasinan to pay her respects and extend condolences to the family of Mary Ann De Vera, the Overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) who passed away in Israel while serving as a caregiver, dedicating her life to caring for others far from her own home.

Ambassador Kursh joined Pangasinan Governor Ramon “Mon-Mon” Guico III, OWWA Overseas Workers Welfare Administration Administrator Patricia Yvonne Caunan,  Department of Migrant Workers Usec. Felicidad Bay, and officials from the Department of Migrant Workers and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration to pay their respects and stand with the bereaved family during this time of mourning.

Mary Ann De Vera was known for her kindness, dedication, and quiet strength. Like many Filipino caregivers in Israel, she left her family in the Philippines to work abroad and support her loved ones, while compassionately caring for those entrusted to her. Her passing is deeply felt both by the people she cared for in Israel and by the many who loved her here at home.

The Government of Israel mourns her loss and extends its heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones. We share in the grief of the De Vera family and honor Mary Ann’s life, service, and the compassion she showed every day through her work. May her memory be a blessing.

To all my readers, I encourage you to pray to the Lord for the protection of all civilians in the Middle East while the joint military operation of Israel and the United States versus the Islamic terrorist regime of Iran continues. Pray to Him for the regime of Iran to surrender unconditionally so that the conflict will end and the economic disruptions will stop.

Also I encourage you 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!

Overcharged electric bike (e-bike) sparks household fire and causes the death of a family

Overcharged electric bike (e-bike) sparks household fire and causes the death of a family

Electric bikes (e-bikes) are popular here in the Philippines and they are perceived to be economical and environment-friendly. E-bikes are also favored by fanatics of renewable energy, the climate change fanatics, as well as those who are living with a burning hatred for fossil fuel. However, there is one tragedy that took place recently during Holy Week and it is about an e-bike that was left charging for too long which caused a house fire and the eventual death of a family of five, according to a Philippine News Agency (PNA) report.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the PNA news article. Some parts in boldface…

An overcharged electric bike was the cause of a fire that killed a family of five here early Monday morning, according to an investigation of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Pozorrubio.

In an interview on Tuesday, Fire Officer 3 Christian Verosil said the e-bike was on the ground floor of the victim’s residence and was left plugged in overnight.

“(Their) electronic bike does not have an automatic switch mechanism that would stop once the charging was completed,” he said.

He said the fire that started through the overcharged bike spread through the wirings of their house until it reached the attic where the casualties were sleeping.

“There are 10 persons in the house. The deceased father (Mark Villanueva) saved the other five members of their household including the elderly and those who were on the ground floor but when he returned to try to save his wife (Dexie) and three children aged six, two, and one, they were trapped and were unable to get out,” Verosil said.

He added that the attic was made of wood which made the fire spread almost immediately and there were no other openings aside from a small window and the attic door.

Meanwhile, Verosil said two neighboring houses were also damaged but there were no injuries or casualties.

He said the damage incurred amounted to PHP9 million.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? If you own an electric bike, have you been very careful about scheduling its recharge at your home or at your business place? How often do you unplug appliances at your home before going to sleep or leaving the household?

Muntinlupa City Government commends local cop

Muntinlupa City Government commends local cop

carlocarrasco

A local police officer here in Muntinlupa City was commended by the City Government because of the good deeds she did in the line of duty which resulted in a very exceptional rescue, the Manila Bulletin reported. This is very welcome news to hear given the fact that there are too many chaotic and depressing news reports generated daily by the mainstream media.

To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt (note: starting today, light blue backgrounds will be used) from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

The Muntinlupa City government congratulated a female police officer in the city who was awarded by the Philippine National Police (PNP) for good deeds.

PNP chief Gen. Dionardo Carlos led the launching of the 2022 National Women’s Month Celebration on March 7 by recognizing Lt. Rizalyn Soledad, a Muntinlupa police officer, as one of the PNP Female Personnel with Good Deeds.

According to the PNP, Soledad was commended for leading the rescue of Divina “Nanay Dina” Estrada in September 2021. Estrada had been away from her family in Pangasinan for 15 years. She had been living in Muntinlupa until her rescue by the Muntinlupa police’s Intelligence Section, Community Affairs Section and Women and Children Protection Desk led by Soledad.

Muntinlupa Mayor Jaime Fresnedi praised Soledad for the PNP award and said women play a very important part in the development of the city and the country.

Manila Bulletin published the story of Nanay Dina on Sept. 20, 2021, who, through the help of the Muntinlupa police, went back to Pangasinan and was finally reunited with her family.

Estrada, 54, begged money from motorists for survival. On Sept. 17, 2021, the Muntinlupa police conducted a rescue operation and found Estrada along Daang Hari in Cavite.

Soledad said Estrada was weak and suffering from cataract. Estrada was unable to go back to Pangasinan since 2006 and lived by begging money from motorists and other people.

According to Soledad, Estrada’s daughter, Mejica Estrada, narrated that her mother went to live in Muntinlupa when her partner was incarcerated at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP) so she could visit him. When her partner died, Estrada decided to settle in Muntinlupa.

In August 2021, Estrada asked her neighbors in Biazon Road, Brgy. Poblacion, Muntinlupa to find her daughter on Facebook. The neighbors were able to find Mejica, who promised that she would fetch her mother in Muntinlupa after learning about her situation.

However, Mejica was not able to immediately fulfill her promise when her husband and daughter became ill, and in part due to lockdowns and quarantine restrictions in Metro Manila and provinces because of the pandemic.

The above news report ended stating that after the rescue, the police officers of Muntinlupa accompanied her all the way to Pangasinan province where she got reunited with her daughter and grandchild.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What do you think about this newest development? Does this news make you trust the local police more?
