    1. syang tunay, di mo maintindihan unless maexperience mo o ng mahal mo sa buhay. Even anxieties, di mo gugustuhin na makaramdam ng nerbyos or biglang panglalambot sa gitna ng matataong lugar, di mo gugustuhin na bigla na lang di makahinga kahit na komportable kang nakahiga sa yong bahay, di mo gugustuhin na bigla ka na lng makakaramdam ng matinding kalungkutan or iiyak ng walang dahilan kahit na nakapaligid ka sa mga taong mahal mo. Minsan biglang dumarating lang kahit anong prayers pa gawin mo di mo maiwasan talaga unless haharapin mo.

    2. True. Kala kasi ng iba pwede mo i-switch off pag sinabihan ka ng ‘cheer up!’

    1. 1214 napaka judgmental mo nman. Tao din ang pari at nagkakamali. Nagpaliwanag siya at humingi nv paumanhin. Ramdam mo sinsiridad nya. Siguro hindi mo naintindihan yung sinulat nya kase English. Masakit ba ma judge?

    1. You shouldn’t really be using it unless you’re clinically diagnosed

  4. TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT. sometimes we just needed to be reminded how blessed we are despite what we're going thru. Count your blessings ika-nga.

    I underdtand kung na trigger si kuya kim. I agree, no one should have to burry their child. But saying "na depress" could mean so many things. We use it daily with so much meaning other than clinical depression. Minsan we use it for things like "na depress talaga ako, i lost my glasses ang mahal pa naman". And a friend would try to comfort by saying "depress ka dyan, glasses lang yan". It isn't diminishing or invalidate how you feel but for the most part, it's to try to comfort and encourage. We aren't all gifted with words to articulate to try and make our friends feel better. Good intent, sloppy execution.

    I guess my point is, sana we avoid overreacting to everything. I think this priest means well.

    1. This is the problem, you only use the word depression or depressed if you’re actually clinically diagnosed. People are using it to replace the word sadness for intensification.

    3. Sa pagka alam ko ang word na depression sa English language ay nauna pa when medicine officially came up with the word “clinical depression”. In the ancient times di naman depression Ang tawag sa condition na yan. They called it melancholia.

  5. I’ve subscribed to this priest 3yrs ago when my mom had a stroke and couldn’t go to Mass. Now she watches his Mass every f***king day, kabisado ko na boses nito. He’s good naman, but he’s a Baby Boomer soul trapped in a Millenial’s body. He always talks common sense, of being proactive, being humble, of not feeling sorry for yourself, being pious, being true to one’s self, of not being lazy and inactive, and not having the ‘victim’ mentality. In short, Boomer strength and endurance.

    Most of his sermons I agree with, being Gen X myself, except one or two topics. He does take Mental Health lightly, like it was a choice, like laziness. Not like a dangerous sickness that requires other people to help and step in. And LGBT issues (him having a sister who experimented), but of course, sinong clergy would be openly promoting it. He does avoid talking about it, and avoids talking about the Government (safe). He prioritizes OFWs over suffering locals, and sometimes you question where his Youtube revenue goes and why does he allow ads in the middle of Mass. But mostly I like his common and street sense, like your classic Lola slapping you out of a lazy mood and shoving you out the door to live a good, industrious life. Not for Gen Y or Gen Z though. Glad he’s humble enough to apologize, hopefully his sermons tweak in the coming days.

  6. I admire Father for admitting his mistake and acknowledging the feelings of other people. I felt his sincerity. Lahat naman nagkakamali pero hindi lahat kayang aminin ito at humingi ng tawad.

  9. Pansin ko lang ang dami kong naririnig na pari sablay mga preachings sa misa. May isang pari sabi malaking tulong daw ang namatay na loved one kasi they are watching over us. Jusko kala ko ba napag aralan na ng mga pari ang bibliya? Wala naman nakasulat sa bibliya na ang patay ay may kakayanan pa na bantayan o makatulong pa sa nabubuhay na loved one. Misleading talaga minsan mga pinag sasabi ng mga pari.
