The
town of Calauan in Laguna was unknown compared to its neighboring towns
of Bay and Los Banos and the City of San Pablo. But when news broke
out, sadly it was of a criminal case against its mayor then. And it
never rose up from that shame. Whenever I tell people of my origin,
they would eventually remember the infamous Mayor of Calauan.
But I share my dad's dream of a better hometown. And as God promised in Isaiah 62, "No longer will you be called 'Forsaken'... but your new name will be 'God pleased with her.'" I await until this prophesy comes true for my beloved town. I await by the sidelines, praying for someone to act on it. Maybe the local government, our parish, somebody, anybody? I never thought that it can be our family. With our "yes" God will start the work. No rest is due until the town's full restoration. Make noise, sing praises for the Lord did not forget his promise. Glory will be renewed for Calauan, Laguna!
