Jong Vital and Family

Dear Kuya  and Ninong Philip,

God knew you before you were born, and He had great plans for you.  We believe He still has many more great plans for your life.  We want to wish you a happy birthday and we will continue to pray for your life to be a light to the world.  It is clear that God created you for a great purpose.  Birthdays are a great time to remember that God creates some beautiful people. You are one of the best we know.   Count your age by friends, not years. You're not getting older, you're getting better.

We know for sure that you are  now enjoying your senior citizen discounts.  You deserve them, Kuya Philip! "Cheers" to another year of blessings!

Jong with Tess and Joy Therese

Happy Birthday Kuya Philip! Thanks for your exemplary life of leadership and service. You are one of a kind. You have given me a vision while I was still a young Christian. Maybe where I am now is in partly because of that. Through you I have learned to value the gift that God has given me, tho how small it is in my sight. I can still vividly remember some of the verses you quote from Isaiah like "Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn" (Isaiah 51:1) teaching me about my identity and (Isaiah 60:22) "The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.  I am the Lord: in its time I will do this swiftly." 

May God bless you with strength, good health and wisdom together with your family. Mabuhay po kayo, Lolo Philip!
