Super el. Nino is impending 😢

BEYOND FLOODWATERS! 🦠🔬

“The absence of isolated hotspots is itself the alarming part.”

Scientists from the University of the Philippines Diliman (UPD) have discovered leptospirosis-associated bacteria across all five sampled locations along Estero de Paco in Manila, suggesting that potential sources of infection are not confined to isolated contaminated areas.

The findings, released by the UP Diliman College of Science on October 21, 2026, challenge the common perception that leptospirosis exposure is primarily associated with floodwaters following heavy rainfall.

Researchers Ram Julius L. Marababol and Dr. Windell L. Rivera examined soil and water samples from five locations along the urban waterway, analyzing 448 bacterial isolates.

They detected Leptospira bacteria at every sampling location, with no statistically significant differences between upstream and downstream sites or between soil and water samples.

More importantly, genetic analysis identified two strains carrying the lipL32 gene, a marker associated with disease-causing Leptospira. Both were identified as Leptospira yasudae, marking the first genetic sequencing of this species from Philippine environmental samples.

The researchers also produced the first draft genome of L. yasudae recovered from Philippine soil, containing approximately 4.5 million DNA base pairs.

Their findings suggest that managing leptospirosis risks requires monitoring entire urban waterways rather than focusing only on visible contamination hotspots.

However, the studies did not determine how many people were infected or establish a connection to recent increases in leptospirosis cases.

Supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the research highlights the importance of continuous environmental surveillance, especially in densely populated and flood-prone communities.

The discovery expands scientific understanding of leptospirosis risks beyond seasonal flooding and provides valuable genetic evidence for improving disease monitoring in the Philippines.

1865 Don Bosco's vision of Smartphone?

On May 1, 1865, Saint John Bosco recounted a dream in which he found himself inside a church filled with young people, yet very few were approaching Holy Communion.

Near the altar stood a dark figure with horns holding what Don Bosco called a “magic lantern.” Through it, the young people were shown whatever most attracted their attention: games, past victories and defeats, familiar places, books, food, friends and even sinful images. Absorbed by what they were seeing, many became distracted from prayer and the Sacraments.

Don Bosco himself explained the meaning plainly: the devil was using distractions to draw young people away from God and especially from Holy Communion. His remedy was to turn their eyes toward the Cross.

Today, some Catholics see an intriguing parallel between the “magic lantern” and modern smartphones: a small device capable of endlessly presenting each person with the images and entertainment most likely to capture his attention.

That comparison is a modern interpretation, Don Bosco did not predict smartphones explicitly, but the original 1865 account is real and is recorded in the Biographical Memoirs, volume VIII, pp. 115-116.

Stop forcing yourself into places where you are not valued. Let people leave, let wounds heal, and let actions reveal the truth. If someone returns, remember how they left. Choose self-respect, protect your peace, and never let revenge steal your happiness.

Newly weds couple: unconfirmed
Kissing on the forehead and pregnant belly inside the mosque: unconfirmed
Case details: unconfirmed
Death sentence and ex*****on date: CONFIRMED ‼️

Viral ngayon ang sinapit ng isang couple na sina Nazrul Islam Abdul Bashir at Siri Akhtar, ng Bangladesh matapos bitayin ni Kingdom of Saudi Arabian government dahil sa kasong IMMORAL ACT INSIDE THE MOSQUE sa Holy City of Mecca. Hindi malinaw ang mga detalye ng paglabag. Ang mga post at maging ang mga picture sa social media ay hindi authenticated. May mga post na nagsasabing tatlong taon na silang nakakulong bago bitayin. Hindi rin malinaw kung anong legal assistance ang ginawa ng Bangladesh para mapigilan ang pagbitay. Pero ang siguradong totoo ay ang kanilang mga pangalan at ang araw ng pagbitay nuong October 14, 2026. At ang isa pang sigurado ay ang kanilang pamilya na ngayon ay nagluluksa. Naisip ko lang, ikinatutuwa kaya ng Diyos ang kamatayan nina Nazrul Islam Abdul Bashir at Siri Akhtar alang alang sa kabanalan ng kanyang Pangalan?

Dagsa ang bashing sa mga katoliko hindi lang ng mga satanista at ateyista kundi maging mga kristiyanong anti catholic dahil sa pagkamatay ni Fr. Patricio Alfredo Sánchez Molinari na nabagsakan ng malaking krus at namatay habang nagmimisa. SUMASAMBA KASI KAYO SA REBULTO NA IPINAGBABAWAL SA BIBLE. Ito ang pinakamalapit na panlalait kaugnay ng pagkamatay ng pari. Tungkol pa naman sa kamatayan at pagiging tapat sa pananampalataya ang sermon niya bago siya mabagsakan at mamatay.

INUTUSAN NG DIYOS SI MOISES NA GUMAWA NG REBULTO NG DALAWANG KERUBIN

Exodo 25:18-22

18 Lalagyan mo ng dalawang kerubing ginto ang dalawang dulo nito, 19 tig-isa sa magkabilang dulo. Ihihinang ang mga kerubin upang ito at ang Luklukan ng Awa ay maging iisang piraso. 20 Gawin mong magkaharap ang dalawang kerubin na parehong nakatungo, at nakabuka ang mga pakpak na nilulukuban ang Luklukan ng Awa. 21 Ilalagay mo ito sa ibabaw ng kaban na kinalalagyan ng dalawang tapyas na bato ng kautusang ibibigay ko sa iyo. 22 Doon tayo magtatagpo sa Luklukan ng Awa, sa pagitan ng dalawang kerubin; doon ko ibibigay sa iyo ang kautusan ko sa mga Israelita.

KINOKONTRA BA NG DIYOS ANG SARILI NYA? SABI SA 10 COMMANDMENTS HUWAG GAGAWA NG IMAHEN MG DIYOS DIYOSAN. Ang sagot ng mga anti catholic, exemption to the rule yan, o kaya dekorasyon lang yan kasama ng mga palamuti sa templo. Paano kaya malalaman kung ano ang dekorasyon at diyos diyosan dahil niyuyukuan din naman ng mga Israelita ang ark of the covenant. Samakatwid diyos diyosan ang ark of the covenant dahil ang totoong Diyos ay Espiritu hindi gawa ng tao. Para malabo ang bibliya kung ganon.

GALIT SILA SA KATOLIKO NA SUMASAMBA DAW SA REBULTO pero hindi sila galit sa mga sumasamba sa kayamanan, kapangyarihan, illicit relationship, pleasure at lahat ng uri ng kamunduhan. Pinupuri, hinahangaan at ibinoboto pa nila ang mga taong may ganitong pagsamba. Hindi kaya ang mga ito ang diyos diyosang sinasabi sa Bible?

Sa mata ng mga anti catholic ang pagkamatay ng pari ay katawa tawa at insulto. Pero sa pananampalatayang katoliko isa itong biyaya dahil namatay ang pari na nasa state of grace dahil ang misa kung saan tinatanggap ang katawan at dugo ni Kristo ang pinakamataas na antas ng panalangin.

Eternal rest grant unto Fr. Patricio oh Lord. And may the perpetual light shine upon him. Amen 🙏

Social media = death sentence 😢

🚨 A 23 YEAR OLD WOMAN FACES EX*****ON IN IRAN OVER A SOCIAL MEDIA POST!

Her name is Najmeh Amini.

The Iranian regime reportedly sentenced her to DEATH for allegedly “insulting the Prophet.”

WHERE IS THE UNITED NATIONS? WHERE ARE THE FEMINISTS SCREAMING ABOUT WOMEN’S RIGHTS? 😡

Arrested January 31 after participating in anti regime protests, she reportedly spent eight months in Mashhad’s notorious Vakilabad Prison without legal representation.

Now she reportedly faces ex*****on, PLUS another 12 years for “anti regime propaganda.”

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN RELIGIOUS FANATICS CONTROL A COUNTRY.

A young woman could be HANGED for expressing her opinions.

And the world remains silent?

SHARE THIS EVERYWHERE. MAKE HER NAME IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE.

If you believe women deserve freedom, PROVE IT. SPEAK UP! 🇮🇷
