We have posted our drama done in our church. But now we start to post the "Ang APAT" Telenovela as we have shoot it the way it is done on TV. This is our very own. Enjoy! The concluding FINALE will be posted later. When downloaded and processed on youtube, the resolution suffers a bit. But our DVD copies are crystal clear and of good quality. When we have shoot the concluding part, we will come up with the DVD copies.

THE FINALE EPISODE OF "Ang APAT" TONIGHT DECEMBER 24TH

Tonight we play the FINALE EPISODE of our Telenovela “Ang APAT” in a live drama at Baclaran Unida Church.

The episodes started last August and became the centerpoint of our sermons two Sundays of every month culminating on December 24th.

The presentation tonight will be two parts – One part video and the last part is a live drama.

If you are in the vicinity of 1139 Unida St., Baclaran, Paranaque City, please join us and be a part of our celebration.

PASKO NA NAMANG MULI!

We live in a jaded world. We use to celebrate Christmas with much more ardor. But now the ardor has gone. Yes, by December there are so many activities and to-do’s but most of them are downright commercial and eerily superficial. What is missing is the meaning of Christmas.

I grew up in a fishing village that was Baclaran when people were so few that everybody knew each other by name, pet-name, or teasing-name like talakitok, kandule, patola, or dat-dat. And oh how they celebrate Christmas!

My generation and the generation before me ANTICIPATED Christmas. As soon as the “ber” months began the simple people of Baclaran girded for the big event in December. Christmas carols were already heard and people were more “mabait” to each other than usual. It was a three-month anticipation plus a month-long celebration.

But now we have become so jaded that we have reduced it to a week-long celebration plus a month-long commercial anticipation. What an insult to the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings whose birthday we are waiting to celebrate.

And please pray tell me one thing: why is it that we, Christians, celebrate Christmas in full worship services on the eve or the night before the birth of the Son of God? And does not worship or celebrate on the day of His birth?

I find it a blessing that I grew up in a Church that offers Thanksgiving Worship to God on Christmas Eve and again on Christmas Day. At Baclaran Unida Church we worship on December 25.

"Ang APAT" in DVD

Here is a sampler! We have started to re-shoot our Telenovela so that we can come in DVD Format. Better quality and better clarity!

We have so far posted at youtube our Telenovela as dramatized in our church. But now we have started to do it like GMA-7 and ABS-CBN. For this Lance and Nikki bought a high-end digital video camera and with their expertise we can come out with a product comparable to others.

We are also excited to announce that the FINALE EPISODE of “Ang APAT” will be dramatized at Baclaran Unida Church on Christmas Eve, December 24th at 7pm. So if you are in the vicinity of 1139 Unida St., Baclaran, Paranaque City on that night please drop by. But come early because the church will be overflowing on Christmas Eve. The temple is fully air-conditioned.
