The Veronica Chronicles presents “Pagkagat ng Dilim” this Oct 20

The Veronica Chronicles with the episode “Pagkagat ng Dilim” will explore the mystery of the supernatural world that is beyond scientific understanding, this October 20, 2015 at PTV 4.

According to Fr. Jocis Syquia, Director of the Office of Exorcism of the Archdiocese of Manila, the numbers are increasing but there are only very few priests in the Philippines who are trained to do exorcisms. There are over 5,000 reported cases of demonic possession in the Philippines today. 

He says more Filipino priests are now being trained to help handle the fast growing number of demonic possessions, evil infestations of homes, offices, and buildings in the country. Fr. Syquia reveals that many of the demonic possession cases stem from the dabbling in the occult of the victims including witchcraft, fortune telling, and other new age practices.

The Veronica Chronicles tackles these diabolical encounters for its Halloween Special as veteran broadcaster Veronica Baluyut-Jimenez interviews Fr. Syquia and several victims of demonic possessions. She also features a reported faith healer or “Albularyo” who demonstrates his power against witchcraft and voodoo. 

Don’t miss it on Tuesday, October 20, 2015 at 8pm on PTV-4, Chan. 6 on SkyCable, Chan. 3 on Destiny Cable and on live streaming via ptv.ph. The episode will replay on Saturday, October 24, 2015 at 10 pm.

James Hardie opens doors of opportunities for Yolanda survivors

Every carpentry workshop conducted by James Hardie was in-depth and hands-on providing a learning platform for carpenters to further their skills. 

When typhoon Yolanda hit Eastern Visayas, particularly the provinces of Samar and Leyte, the world saw a super typhoon could easily wipe out towns and cities from the map and leave behind scores of casualties.

Almost two years after the catastrophic event, a lot of residents from the typhoon stricken provinces are now almost back on their feet especially those who were eager to kick-start their lives by learning new things during the rehabilitation efforts from different organizations.

James Hardie, the world leader in fiber cement building products, partnered with De La Salle Philippines (DLSP) to create a lasting and effective change on some of the most-badly hit communities.
During the workshop, carpenters did not only learn basic carpentry but also went home confident of their newly acquired skill
In rebuilding the communities, James Hardie organized a successful basic carpentry workshop earlier this year wherein survivors were taught how to install HardieFlex® building products and eventually make a living out of their newly acquired skills.

“We wanted to extend help that will have lasting effects for the survivors—something that will be beneficial to them for the rest of their lives,” said James Hardie Country Manager Mark Sergio. “By holding carpentry workshops, we are teaching them how to be self-sufficient in rebuilding their communities.”

Few months after the workshop, James Hardie and DLSP went back to the community and asked how the carpenters are doing. 

“The workshops were really a big help for all of us, especially for people who did not know where to start after their traumatic experiences,” said Danilo Galos, a Yolanda survivor from one of the partner communities. “The workshops and all the assistance gave us a fresh start. After the training, I landed a job within a week, which was a great help for my family. Learning how to install HardieFlex is also an advantage because a lot of customers would prefer to use it.”

Arturo Moramion shared the same sentiments, saying that learning the right way of installing HardieFlex® on timber and metal furring did him some good after it made him a better carpenter. “The training was a big help on my work and I was able to share this new knowledge to my co-carpenters. I also learned how to install and handle HardieFlex products, which are all durable, resistant to fire and termites and does not contain asbestos.”

Meanwhile, for Cesar Moralida and Ricardo Cabiao, the workshop opened doors of opportunities for them after they both landed new jobs, which helped them rebuild what was destroyed during the typhoon. “I landed a new job in just a week which helped me provide for my family,” Cabiao said.

“I’m not a full-time carpenter. However, because of the training given by James Hardie, I am now confident that I have the skills to work as a full time carpenter.” Moralida said. 

Almost two years after the devastation, the communities that benefited from James Hardie and DLSP’s efforts have shown dramatic change. With the participants showing that they are now on the right track, the two institutions are successful in inspiring people to rise above their situation. Indeed, through collective effort, nothing is impossible, as what James Hardie and DLSP have shown.
