Atty. J Melchor Quitain Jr.

: Atty. Jay, nag live-in nami sa akong uyab since 2019, need pa ba namo og MARRIAGE LICENSE para magpakasal?

- DILI na kinahanglan!

- Subay sa Article 34 sa FAMILY CODE, EXEMPTED na sa pagkuha og marriage license ang mga magti-ayon nga nagLIVE-IN na sa lima (5) ka tuig nga:

1. wala pa gikasal
2. Naa na sa saktong edad na
3. Walay “legal impediment”

- Kinahanglan mag-execute og JOINT AFFIDAVIT OF COHABITATION ang magti-ayon aron i-attest nga sila nag-uban sa usa ka panimalay continuously, and without any interruption sa sulod sa lima ka tuig.

- Dapat ma-CHECK and CERTIFY sa solemnizing officer or authorized magkasal nga walay LEGAL IMPEDIMENT sa couple nga gusto makasal.

- Ginatugutan kini sa balaod to encourage couples in long-term commitment to formally legalize ilahang panag-uban to ensure their properties and children are legally protected under the law.

In James Chapter 3, James contrasts two kinds of wisdom. One comes from envy and selfish ambition—it leads to disorder, harsh words, and conflict.

But wisdom from above is different.

It is first pure—a heart free from selfish motives.
It is peace-loving and gentle—not harsh or combative.
It is willing to yield—humble enough to listen.
It is full of mercy and good fruit—kindness that becomes action.
And it is sincere—real, without pretense.

True wisdom is not proven by winning arguments. It is revealed by a heart that reflects the character of Jesus Christ—pure, gentle, and full of grace.

Where God’s wisdom is present, peace quietly grows.

Lord, fill my heart with wisdom from above. Make me pure in motive, gentle in spirit, and full of mercy toward others. Amen.

𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚, 𝑽𝑷 𝑺𝒂𝒓𝒂!
We wish you good health, joy and a long, meaningful life.
May the Lord continue to fill you with wisdom and may He keep you strong in your faith and steadfast in your love for your country.
Know that you are never alone and that we are always behind you, with our unwavering support throughout your journey.

Mabuhay ka, Inday Sara Duterte!

In James 3:2, we are reminded that everyone makes mistakes. But if someone could truly control their tongue, that person would be mature — able to guide their whole life well.

Why? Because words are powerful. They reveal what is happening inside us. A quick sentence can heal or harm. A careless comment can shape relationships, reputations, even direction.

Learning to pause.
Learning to choose words carefully.
Learning when not to speak.

That is not a weakness. It is a strength.

Lord, rule my heart so my words reflect You. Amen.
