Today, we celebrate not just the day you were born, but the life you continue to offer so generously to God, to the Church, and to all of us entrusted to your care.
Father, in you we see a priest whose heart beats in rhythm with creation, one who teaches us that faith is not only preached from the altar, but lived out in the soil, in the trees, in the quiet work of caring for our common home. You have shown us, in your own way, what it means to walk in the spirit of ๐๐ญ. ๐
๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ข๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐ฌ๐ข, a simple, joyful, and deeply rooted in love for God and all His creation.
And yet, beyond the titles and the mission, we know you as the Father who laughs with us, jokes with us (sometimes bluffs us ๐), and reminds us that holiness does not take away joy, it multiplies it.

On your birthday, we thank the Lord for the gift that you are, not only to the Diocese of Pasig, not only to the Ministry on Ecology, but to each of us who have been guided, encouraged, and inspired by your priesthood.
May God continue to bless you with strength for the mission, peace in your heart, and joy that never runs dry. May your days be as fruitful as the seeds you plant, in faith, in service, and in love.
And yes, Fatherโฆ more birthdays to come, more souls to guide, more trees to plant, and more jokes to endure (weโre ready ๐๐ฑ).
