SUCCESS in life means answering the call of compassionate service.
Following the example of distinguished service to humanity by South African leader Nelson Mandela, we are moved to answer the highest credo of servant/leadership values.
Nelson Mandela is a man with a golden heart who advocated for equal rights for all people regardless of their color, creed and race.
Stirring his followers, Nelson Mandela said:
“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living.”
You and I have the grandest ideal of using our talents, time and treasure in extending our hands to our needy brothers and sisters.
Ultimately, we can anchor our distinguished deeds of achievements by maximizing our energies in doing community service, volunteer work and youth empowerment.
Yes, our commitment to our poor barangays and outlaying needy areas in Angeles City is a magnanimous and noble calling.
What a happy time it is when at the end of our day's work, we can say this:
I have touched lives.....I have brought changes to this community......Goodwill to all our brothers and sisters.
Finale
As I conclude this column, I wish to say 'Thank you” to our Almighty Lord, for the loving guidance in my daily schedule. Furthermore, I say 'gracias' to my family, friends and fellow artists for joining me in sowing the seeds of integrity, interaction and interconnectedness.
You and I are one in our mission and vision of a better world to live in.
Let us keep the Kapampangan spirit of goodwill and camaraderie aflame in our minds and hearts. Let us soar high to another level of enthusiastic service.
May the blessings of the new month of June shower each of you with rains of compassion, commitment and conviviality. May the enlightenment of a new month bring new joys and meaningful work to your life.
What a feeling of fulfillment when we act with generosity and goodwill.
Service is a dynamic key to a life of mission and passion.
