NUESTRA SEÑORA DEL PILLAR PARISH

Mamburao, Occidental Mindoro

To Mamburao-USA Association

Greetings from Mamburao!

Your organization MUSA is indeed an inspiration and hope to all Mamburenos.

Well, we all know that our town Mamburao is like a sick woman, an afflicted woman suffering from various maladies.  There is the problem of poverty and unemployment, ignorance and indolence, armed groups, gross violations of human rights, and corruption in all walks of life.  But inspite of all these, there is a ray of hope because of individuals, groups offering their time, their talents and even their wealth for a brighter Mamburao.

What we need then are Mamburenos who have truly imbided the right Christian principles and who are ready to live by these principles at any cost.

We are appealing for your help and generosity in keeping the challenge of Christian principles, Christian living and serving and to uplift the morale of our Kababayans.

What should be our response?  No less than love, no less than loyalty, no less than gift of self to God and to fellow Mamburenos in the Philippines.

As the Christopher’s have it, “It is better to light a little candle than to curse the darkness”.

MABUHAY at kami ay umaasa sa inyong tulong at patnubay.
