Maang-maangan

Kawikaan 11:11 (Tagalog) Magandang Balita Biblia (TPV)

¹¹ Dahil sa salita ng matuwid ang bayan ay tumatatag, ngunit sa kasinungalingan ng masama ang lunsod ay nawawasak.

White, yellow, slight or simple...no matter how we call “lies” it does not change that fact that it is a LIE.

An act of denial or in filipino “maang-maangan”, is an act of pretending not to know a certain things. In the course of our life, I believe a lot of us had done this. Pretending not to know an incident or a fact when asked means we are already doing this act.

Bad Guys Eliminated

Proverbs 11:10

¹⁰ When the righteous prosper, the city rejoices;
    when the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

¹⁰ Kapag ang matuwid ay pinagpapala ang bayan ay nagagalak, ngunit higit ang katuwaan kapag ang masama’y napapahamak.

How would you feel if one had been proven guilty of a crime suffered while paying its penalty?

This is one honest remark. A reality…that people would be happy once the criminals are punished or the “bad guys” suffers.

⁹ Ang labi ng walang Diyos, sa iba ay mapanira, ngunit ang dunong ng matuwid ay nagliligtas ng kapwa.

Even with slight fever for a few days now after experiencing a few days of stomach pain and vowel problem did not stop me from going to work. Every time I wake up in the morning, I could not convince myself to take a day off…but I think I really need it…even if for a couple of days…for health sake.
