                    [Summary] => 

Towards the end of 2015, we are still hounded by anomalies and controversies that have characterized this administration from the very start.

One of the Jesuit priests working there was a Spaniard who asked me if I had known Apolonio Baluyut. Yes, I told him, I knew him well. He said to me, "Come to my room, I will show you something."

[Summary] => Father Alfeo Nudas, who died on March 31st, was the only Catholic priest who has held a tenured professorship at the University of the Philippines. He taught at U.P. for 20 years.

Those 20 years were not peaceful. There are still some people who simply cannot accept the idea of a Catholic priest teaching in a state university. There were attempts to have Father Nudas dropped from the faculty. There were anonymous attacks, like the chalk marks on a wall one day which said "Father Judas go away."

As a writer, he was touched by the hand of God. He had an intensely sensitive soul, and a magnificent pair of eyes and ears. He had the power to put into words the most passionate emotions which people usually keep hidden deep within themselves.

Long ago, he wrote a play called: "Portrait of an Artist as Filipino". I saw what I think was its first presentation — outdoors, in Intramuros, with the stage built up against the ancient walls, and the narrator, Totoy Avellana, high above the stage, on top of the wall.

"Passion" is a word you will often use with Eugene, newly designated music director and conductor of the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra (he officially assumes the position on May 1, 2004). He has been described as "a fusion of passion and sensitivity", a "highly gifted conductor".

[Summary] => There are priests who are not distinguished. They are competent, even talented, but they do not stand out as unusual or extraordinary, and they are not believed to have what are called leadership qualities. They are, however, zealous and dedicated. They devote themselves to the humbler, less spectacular ministries, like hearing confessions, or celebrating Mass for ordinary people.

Such priests are the backbone of the Church. They probably will not get awards and marks of recognition, but (as Karl Rahner says) they are the ones who do most to promote the kingdom of God.
