Lord Jesus Christ's last commandment given to His disciples was to "love one another as I have loved you"

As a Christian born in the only Christian country in Southeast Asia, I came to a point of realization since 1988 when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit. It was then that I began questioning the relevance of the fraternity system and its culture, proven to be violent all these years, to the development of man in particular and the Filipino people in general. With a despicably awful track record of deaths due to hazing and fraternity wars, it is therefore important for men, especially my countrymen, to find time and reflect on the relevance of this brotherhood system especially in relation to their coexistence with other sectors of society and to their spirituality.

I dedicate this blog to the victims of all these mess all these years, to all the people especially the love ones of the victims affected by it and to all fratmen who honestly and sincerely desire for genuine change.

This is a challenge to all fratmen. If you so desire to be real men let's therefore face the real problem squarely and act to find the real remedy to it. And since the reasons behind all these conflicts is hatred, it is therefore right to start forgiving because after all most of us are Christians and because it is the right thing to do.

"tough guys" in TOUGH GUISE

When parents fail to strengthen their spiritual lives, when they fail to understand the real and true essence of Christianity (in the case of Christians) they will fail to become good role models to their children. Worst if they have abandoned their illegitimate children who will grow without complete parental care and love.

Children who are born to a family that is weak in spiritual and moral foundations wherein parents, especially the father, failed in educating the young morally and spiritually, could result in young kids becoming weak against the strong influence of a strongly material but morally weak society through the relentless cosmetics of a highly commercial mass media.

As these kids grow into young men they are "baptized" as warriors into brotherhoods with dubious doctrines but so organized to spark those messy fratwars in the most unlikely "battlefields". Here their concept of being men is distorted and the price will be too high that could haunt them for the rest of their lives.

Kindly watch TOUGH GUISE
