Wedding Message (Godparent’s speech) Final Version

First and foremost Thank you Rox & Dex for letting me and my wife be a part of  your big day. 

( Allow me to read my notes) 

On this joyous occasion, we are all honored to witness the merging of two beautiful souls to become one. 

Today says it all! The presence of families and close friends who travelled near and far; who went all the way out of their schedules to celebrate with this couple today has added so much love to their wedded bliss. 

They couldn’t agree more with me when I say Marriage is a gift – an amazing blessing from above - yet it is not always a bed of roses. It is NOT easy. Let me rephrase — a STRONG marriage is NOT easy. 

In every relationship, there are good and bad times. It is NOT always perfect and conflict-free. It is NOT a stroll down easy road. It is more like a bumpy drive, through traits and weaknesses. It is difficult because, it is the bonding together of two limited and imperfect human beings. You are humans and you are both flawed. You are an imperfect couple and should learn to enjoy your differences. 

To reiterate, there’s is NO perfect wife and NO perfect husband, but if you keep believing in each other, there will be plenty of perfect moments in your togetherness. 

And the good news is - God intends every marriage to work - He designed it to succeed, so don't take anything less than that.  But a satisfactory and healthy marriage is not something that just happens. Every couple has to make an effort  to do their respective roles as husband and wife. 

Incidentally, my wife & I exchanged marital vows here in the same church as yours. We tied the knot in 1986. We celebrated our 38th wedding anniversary last January 18.  Indeed, our marriage doesn’t mean we are perfect for each other. It simply means we have chosen to look beyond our imperfections. It was built on teamwork.

You see, in marriage, the little things are the big things. It is standing together facing the world. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of love and joy. It is at no time taking the other for granted; It is not looking for perfection in each other. And specially to Rex, courtship should not end with the honeymoon, it should continue through the years.

Most of all, put God in the center of your marriage. Ask for grace to live with each other in peace and harmony; bear with one another's weaknesses and grow from each other’s strengths. Let your love keep burning like unquenchable fire and the God of Love shall permanently establish your home and family.

Lastly, on behalf of all the Godparents present here today, we offer our wisdom and guidance whenever you need it. Through the ups and downs of life, remember that we are here to support and guide you. May your union be filled with wisdom, understanding, and the capacity to grow both individually and as a couple. May you be committed to your wedding vows and learn to co-exist with each other.

And through life’s sunshine and challenges in marriage, may God’s grace always be with you Dex & Roxy! 

Cheers and Congratulations!

Bautista bats for

Rail solution

for MM traffic woes

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) plans to build more railway systems for Metro Manila in a bid to alleviate the traffic crisis hounding the National Capital Region.

In an online interview,  Secretary Jaime Bautista said the DOTr believes that rail transportation could provide the answer to Metro Manila’s traffic woes which appeared to have worsened over the past few months.

“Rail transportation is the ideal mode for Metro Manila,” he pointed out.

“We are now working closely with the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) for the preparation of a 30-year master plan for rail transportation,” Bautista said. 

JICA officials confirmed talks for the prospective collaboration with the Philippine government for the said master plan. In a statement, JICA Chief Representative Sakamoto Takema said the agency “welcomes this new partnership with the Philippine government.

“While JICA has been providing massive support to the development of quality railway systems in the Philippines, this is the time to further boost the strongest ever growth momentum in the country, and it requires a transport backbone, especially a modernized and effective railway network we can build hand-in-hand,” Takema added.

In the interview, Bautista said the blueprint will include the development of a network of railway lines and more railway routes which will help alleviate the difficulties in commuting.

He lamented that there are only three rail lines serving Metro Manila today: Light Rail Transit line 1 and 2, and MRT 3. He said the DOTr expects the completion next year of MRT 7 which runs from San Jose del Monte City to EDSA, and of the Metro Manila Subway System in 2029.

Bautista also cited the North South Commuter Rail (NSCR) Project. The project, jointly funded by JICA and the Asian Development Bank (ADB), is a 147-kilometer modern rail system which will connect Calamba City and Clark. The NSCR will pass through Metro Manila and is expected to cut travel time by more than half.
