OCTOBER 2010 REPORT
Blood-letting Project
We had a bloodletting project last october 16 in cooperation with other congregations around Manila and MARCH Medical Mission. The Philippine Red Cross conducted the said bloodletting at Samar COC, Quezon City.
As reported by Bro. Raj Buo in his Facebook account, out of 35 participants of only 17 passed the screening and successfully bled.
The donated blood is intended to help fellow brethren in the future in case they need blood especially during dengue season. The Philippine Red Cross issued card for each donor and Bro. Raj will be keeping it for future use.
Hopefully the blood will not be used by the brethren but if it is needed then there are about 17 bags available for ready use.
Big thanks to all those who supported this event.
Merging
During our meeting with Bro. Raj Buo and Bro. Sonny Catalan, they mentioned that Kapitolyo COC needed help since they do not have a full-time preacher and minister. The first plan was to preach there in the morning and then preach at De Castro in the afternoon. But then we thought that why not merge both congregation to uplift both congregation.
Without delay, I met with Bro. Jun Cayanan and talked about the possibility of merging both congregation. He was very excited and relieved that they would finally have a full-time worker to take care of the congregation. He then relayed the plan to Kapitolyo COC.
As a preliminary meeting with the men of Kapitolyo, I was invited to preach there last october 10 where I preached about Reviving their Commitment to the mission and vision of the church.
After preaching there, I reported to De Castro congregation about what we talked with the men of Kapitolyo. We immeidately planned our first joint fellowship which was held last October 24 at De Castro. After worship we had lunch fellowship and celebrated the birthday of Borgy the son of Bro. Cezar Ola.
We also had a meeting about the merging. There were about 8 men during the meeting.
Others
I also preached at Twinville COC last October 17 and I was asked to talk about giving. After the worship we had lunch fellowship and I was given the chance to fellowship with the brethren in Marikina.

28 August 2010
The Talk show on Social Networking last 28 August 2010 was a success with almost 150 young people in attendance mostly from Rizal Technological University in Pasig City.
This event focused on the present issues of the youth nowadays which are Peer pressure, Pre-marital sex and Teenage pregnancy, and the benefits and dangers of Online Social Networking.
The talk show was hosted by our talented Daniel Dranciang and Shiela Agaloos of Lagro COC. They made the event fun and relevant to the youth who attended it.
Of course, this event will not be complete without our panelists Ms. Rosabel Silvestre and Ms. Hana Grace Belo of Metro Manila COC, Feline Magno and Bro. Raj Buo of Cainta COC. Ms. Rose represented the side of a parent, Ms. Hanah gave very practical insights on a psychologist's point of view, Feline expressed the side of the youth and Bro. Raj made sure that there is a Biblical sense on the topic.
We also would like to thank people who helped us behind the scene most especially Bro. Ed Poblete who gave financial assisitance to fund this project, Cezar and Rose Ola who let us borrow some of their equipments, Mr. and Mrs. Lobusta who also supported us by lending us their things for the set.
This event was produced by Aldous Echegoyen of De Castro COC and Raj Buo of Cainta COC with the help of Oliver (Promotions) and Daniel (Technical Support) Daracen.
We would like to also thank the officers and facilitators of Rizal Technological University in Pasig City namely Prof. Ester de Claro Andal (Coordinator), Marlon Leonardo, Mary France de Mata, Marie Sharmaine Monsalve, Joyce Aguila, Julie Ann Banas, Aldrin Cortez, Rhilex Mae Panopio, Rachelle Bujala, and Ana Joana Cruz. They helped us promote this event at RTU and brought in 100 students.
To all those who worked in the background who really made this event a success, we thank you.
The Youth Connection is a youth organization aimed to raise the potential of our young people, help them resolve issues, mentor them and most importantly bring them closer to Christ. This was organized by the youth and ministers of De Castro COC, Cainta COC and Antipolo COC.
