Day for Prayer Rally: Calling God for help

By: James Sebastian Bendijo

People pray to God for help, now the province of Bulacan is praying for help amid the issue of a possible Angat Dam Break.

Atty. Elmo Duque, Comelec Provincial Officer, the guest speaker for the event said the prayer is a way to ask help from God. “Kailangan lang ng lambing, pag hindi mo kasi sinabi, hindi kasi ibibigay ng Ama yan,” said Duque about the prayer.

Duque stressed that it is critical for people to pray to God knowing the possibility of a disaster in Dam Break. He added that prayer is critical due to the unpredictability of calamities nowadays.

He said that Bulakenyos should be prayerful because it is possible that calamity could strike Bulacan.

“Dapat maging prayerful, kasi sa lahat ng mga sibilisasyon, there has never been a civilization na nakita ko na walang involvement ang religious leader sa kanilang paglago,” explained Duque.

He is well aware of the issue about the possible Dam break if strong earthquake happens. “Isa sa mga kritikal na issue yan dahil Dam yan, pag hindi narepair yan, isang malaking disaster ang idudulot niyan,” he said.

But he insisted that praying to God could be a big help. “God has the power to divert the storm or stop the calamity, only when maglalambing tayo sa Panginoon,” Duque stated.
