Senator Alan Peter Cayetano on Friday said the City of Taguig has been experiencing continued progress because of its decision to be God-centered.
Talking to more than 40 pastors and their spouses over a post-Valentine’s Day fellowship lunch, Cayetano said Taguig has been seeing “miracles” in the face of national economic challenges ever since the city offered the year 2023 to the Lord.
He cited as examples the undergoing construction of the new Taguig General Hospital and the successful opening of the Taguig Convention Center which also houses the City’s Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS).
“Kapag ang Diyos talaga ang Hari at ang Banal na Espiritu po ang pinakikinggan natin, nangyayari ang miracles. It’s not our will that’s happening there but the will of the Lord,” he said.
The Senator said the key to transforming the nation is for the people to respond to God’s goodness with their lives, encouraging the pastors not to be preoccupied with just growing the number of their respective flocks but instead help them create an impact on other people by embodying God’s teachings.
“Kahit lima lang kayo sa inyong barangay, kung ang youth ay nakikinig sa inyo, lumalayo sa droga, nanonood ng preaching sa Tiktok imbes na kung anu-ano, may impact ‘yon,” he told them.
“Pero kung 3,000 kayong Christian doon pero hindi nila makita ang pag-ibig ng Diyos sa inyo, may impact ba y’un?” he continued.
The Senator also asked the pastors to pray for all businesses in Taguig, hopeful that “miracles” will soon be also happening in areas of the City that are currently less developed compared to Fort Bonifacio and Arca South, especially Laguna Lakeshore.
“Let us allow God to lead us because He has the best plan for us,” he said.
