RE : Suggesting superb letters to the editors be printed in the front page

Ladies and gentlemen:

This is not intended to flatter readers and “writers to the editor”, but to give their opinion, especially wise
ideas and truths finally the chance to land in the front page.

From time to time, there are opinions from readers that express great wisdom and superb intellect. This
kind, in my analysis, exceeds in value than a narration of report printed in the front page.

What is more valuable: wise opinion which expresses a wise idea and states an eternal truth or mere news
report which value is merely the national sensation and the noise it triggers and the sales it generates but
which then fades away to the path of forgotten archive, without leaving a trace of benefit on the people
except an imprint of anger, hatred or desperation?

Which is more important: the event reported or the lesson it conveys which God wants people to discern
and observe lest the same event (read: mistake) will repeat in increasing severity, simply because the
people keeps on hearing without learning?!

Are not the news – or rather the incidents being reported – getting worse because the people have not the
chance to understand the lesson behind them – read: which should have served as warning? Is not news
reporting without lessoning confining the nation to dumbness?

Wisdom, Truth and Lesson which are often reflected in some letters by writers to the editors are more
important to the nation in the long run than the news printed in front page, and yet these merely are given
the poor privilege to get printed in the Opinion Section which I consider as a corner and not the front of
the house. This is a bias by the owner of the newspaper towards its staff writers and against the people of
the land! This is a practice of injustice by the PDI and all other newspapers. If you, in the newspaper
industry, are truly bent against injustice, then, you should look at your own tradition of injustice – read:
unjust practice of giving less importance to the wisdom of the people and merely confining them in some
little corner of your newspaper called Opinion Section.

No, you are wrong! You have been very wrong! You yourselves have myopic vision regarding what
JUSTICE is – what is fair in news papering. Give honor to whom honor is due! If the honor for a front
page goes to a volunteer unpaid “writer to the editor” and not to your news reporter, then so be it! Give
him the front page!

For, if you think it more honestly, you are not the owner of your newspaper – you are only the owner of
the paper as well as of them wrote the news. But you are not the owner of the events, peoples, time,
places, and even the words you are using to make news! You merely interviewed them and jotted down
what they said or scribed some words to describe the events – their events, not your events. You did not
even pay the people who owned the news, that is, who were the ones involved in the news or incidents,
whose words you quoted! The victims in/of the events!
You merely chronicled what had happened and then you let the rest of the people pay and you get rich! Or
at least earned a substantial income – for merely writing the story and circulating it!

Is that fair? Is that fair to the owner of the events or victims of the events or to the people who read and
pay your stories?

You are not doing real benefit to the nation for merely writing the events, leaving its meanings – its whys
in some dark corner called Opinion Section or not publishing them at all! You are doing benefits only to
your pocket! The nation has not grown wiser, nor kinder because of your news reporting. They have
grown more divided against themselves instead. And this is because of your news which craftily hide the
better opinion in some corner and hailed the news.

In my opinion, as a reader of your newspaper, you owe the people – read: the wise people of the nation,
no matter how few they are – you owe them the FRONT PAGE, every time they write you a wise
opinion!!!

In this instance, may I tell you that the letters you published in your Opinion Section in your Monday,
February 21, 2011, issue deserved to be found in your paper’s FRONT PAGE, not just in the OPINION
SECTION.

These letter writers and their letters are as follows:

LETTER TITLES GIVEN NAMES OF WRITERS THEIR EMAIL ADDRESSES

SC’s intellectual mediocrity Steve Y. Vespera, Esq. steve888@yahoo.com

Erap and Reyes were both Crisanta A. Ibardaloza crisanta_ibardaloza@yahoo.com

humiliated but… Imuz, Cavite

Public doesn’t need ‘kinder, Leslie Lofranco-Berbano unbanpilgrim2010@gmail.com

gentler Senate’

There are many other letters previous to these that should have been printed in the front page. The above
are only one of them.

What the newspaper owners should now realize are the following:

• The wisdom or lesson behind the news is more lasting, thus, more valuable than the news
• If the people of the land are only fronted to the news events and missed the lessons, the nation is
bound to continue in its present pitiful state: a nation without wisdom, repeating its mistakes in
increasing severity. Is it not the case with our nation today? And has it not been the case for so
long?
• Contrary to its claim, the newspapers are by that act of ignoring wise readers in favor of their mere
news writers contributing to the dumbing of the nation, not educating the nation! Grasp that if you
are wise!
Therefore, let wisdom have the front page! For wisdom is of greater value:

[niv]Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get
understanding.
Pro 4:7
[kjv]Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get
understanding.
[niv]Esteem her, and she will exalt you; embrace her, and she will honor you.
Pro 4:8 [kjv]Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou
dost embrace her.
[niv]She will set a garland of grace on your head and present you with a crown of
splendor."
Pro 4:9
[kjv]She shall give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she
deliver to thee.

And stop justifiying your tradition and faulty policies of giving the news greater importance for income’s
sake.

For where the news reports (the “what”, “who”, “when”, “where” and shallow “how”) are hailed and
honored more than their meanings and lessons (i.e., the whys and the deeper hows), there you will find the
people as dumb as monkeys and turtles… hmmmmmmmmmmm, like us the Filipinos!!!???

***

I am not talking about the newspapers’ opinion writers. They have their permanent place – the paper’s
Opinion writers’/Commentators’ section. I am talking about and wanting to honor the nations’ few
opinion makers (not paid by the newspapers) who wrote to the editors. I want them honored – and above
all, their wise opinions given honor of being printed in the front page, because doing so will push the
nation one step higher in nobility and sublimity which is possible only when and if wisdom is honored and
appreciated more than the news or events.

As the saying goes, “Mediocre people talk about people. Ordinary people talks about events. But great
people discuss ideas.” Wisdom are about great ideas.

***

To the credit of the PDI, you have already done this for your staff writer like Amando Doronilla and
others whose write-ups you gave valuable space in front page. May the same honor be given to “ordinary”
readers whose opinions are at par or sometimes even exceed those of Doronilla and others!

Ideas and wisdom must be hailed and its sender be given due credit.

But great opinion maker does not chase personal honor. They do not desire their names be printed. To
them, the honor for their wise idea is more important. For they are more after of the benefit their idea does
to the nation than what it does to their name. Therefore, let the idea or wisdom or truth be published and
honored in the front page every time they deserve to be in front page.

If you publish his name, let it be only for the reason of and as your way of expressing gratitude and
establishing authority.
This is one major step towards becoming a nation who is wise as a serpent but blameless as a dove!
Otherwise, we will continue to think, behave and act as monkeys and turtles. No foreigners and their
connivers call us that. No, they don’t call us monkeys and turtles, lest we hear it, get hurt and start
thinking who we really are. No, they don’t say it – they merely treat us as such!!!!

To close, may I quote the Lord’s surprising wisdom in His Parable of the Hawk and the Turtle and may
this serves as our tutor:

THE PARABLE OF THE HAWK AND THE TURTLE

“Do not follow the evil inhabitants in hell who serve out of selfishness, for
everyone there expects to be served.

“They are like the story of the turtle and the hawk. The hawk first eagerly
helps the turtle out of its mud-hole in the meadow, only to be grabbed by the
hawk in its neck during its search for herbs, carried aloft and smashed into a
rock.

“Why did the hawk do that? So that she can enjoy the turtle’s flesh as a
reward for its previous eagerness to help. My, children, do not do that!

“Service should be given in love and with true brotherly feeling, as is

customary in the heavens.” 1

For access of the Lord’s inexhaustible great wisdom, read His direct messages at: www.franky1.com

These His messages are authoritative opinions which are not faulty and tentative like writers’ opinions,
but which are permanent rock-solid truths and principles and laws, able to save and liberate, able to heal
and raise the dead back to life, able to sweep away darkness and the deep night and replace it with the full
light.

May the nation advance forward in true wisdom….

P.S. WARNING: If the newspapers of this land continue to ignore the call of wisdom and continue to
insist on their ways, then, they will continue the status quo: rich versus poor, oppressor versus oppressed,
wife versus husband, one sector versus another, offender versus victim, etc., -- they will continue to
provoke one versus the other.

We need a higher wisdom – a different paradigm where both victimizer and victims gain healing and
renewal – and this can only be possible if we avail the higher wisdom promoted by members of the
144,000 and by the Lord Himself in websites like www.franky1.com, www.Jesus4you.net,
www.144,000.net, www.BerthaDudde.com etc.

In addition to giving people’s choice opinions the limelight, there is a greater point I have wanted to drive
here for a long time: SUCH CHOICE PEOPLE’S OPINIONS ACTUALLY ARE LEARNED BY THEM
AND BY US FROM GOD.

Therefore, we are now to begin giving recognition and credit to Whom we owe it for a long time already
– namely: to God our Father.

We, journalists, authors and writers have very great responsibility to be GOD’S USEFUL TOOLS.

He is telling us, to wit:

[niv]"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be
disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
Mat 10:26
[kjv]Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed;
and hid, that shall not be known.
[niv]What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear,
proclaim from the roofs.
Mat 10:27
[kjv]What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear,
that preach ye upon the housetops.
[niv]Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be
afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Mat 10:28
[kjv]And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather
fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
[niv]Are not two sparrows sold for a penny ? Yet not one of them will fall to the
ground apart from the will of your Father.
Mat 10:29
[kjv]Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the
ground without your Father.
[niv]And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Mat 10:30
[kjv]But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
[niv]So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Mat 10:31
[kjv]Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
[niv]"Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my
Father in heaven.
Mat 10:32
[kjv]Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before
my Father which is in heaven.
[niv]But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in
heaven.
Mat 10:33
[kjv]But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father
which is in heaven.

If we were His journalists, then, our death will not end our life. But if we are not His, that is, if we do not
promote His will and teachings, then, our death will be our own making; for we did not die doing the
Lord’s will for journalists. We are journalizing for our own sake, not for God’s Work of saving people
and educating men.
We should take note how useless our words and opinions are:

How to make your mouth [or pen] most effective?

THE LORD: “When people ask you questions, do not

answer them according to your own comprehension, but
say: "Jesus, I want to serve you in these people, I do not
want to preach to them my own knowledge, but Yours,
Lord, reveal to me Your truth that I may pass it on. I will
preach only Your truth to people, for this sets all hearts
free."

He who opens his heart to me and passes on My

truth, is a thousand times closer to Me than one who
has studied a lot of truths. Its own knowledge does not
benefit the souls, only the truth I put into its heart. Only
he is a true preacher before Me who says: "I know
nothing out of myself, you children of God. I will not talk
until the Lord anoints my mouth and I am able to pass
on to you what He, God, has in mind for you."

All the preachers who preach out of their own

wisdom, are in many ways My adversaries. Why? They
present something as My truth which is, in fact, not My
truth. They lead men in a roundabout way instead of
saying: "Lord, teach through me all the people for whom
I am responsible"! And truly, one word that I speak
through you will bring more blessing than a thousand
times a thousand of your words; for yours will bring
discord whereas My Word will unite all hearts, be they
friends or enemies. My Word is the bridge to all hearts.
If you cannot yet live in peace with your brothers and
sisters, then this only proves that you are still sticking
to your truth and are not yet standing up fully for My
truth. My truth unites all hearts, even if the unbelieving
person does not yet want to understand it completely or
live according to it. If you pass My truth on to an
unbeliever through My mouth, he must accept it even if
outwardly he still resists it. My truth enlightens every
heart and will remain awake as the conscience.

If you tell the very lowest of beings of My truth in

My spirit, then it will understand it, although it may not
comply with it. The adversary knows the truth but
disregards it. If you bring people My truth and they do
not live according to it, you are not responsible. It is
your responsibility to acquaint them with it and then I
Myself shall take care of the germination of the seed.
The crown of thorns to Me is the fact that people do not
teach their inferiors My truth, but tell them things My
heart dislikes.

With one word people would be told everything:

"Love God within Christ! Then you live within Christ and
Christ within you. Then Christ is your life."

Everything else that is being taught is at the best an

explanation of this sole eternal truth which I gave you
as the foundation of My doctrine.

Whatever men are being taught apart from this

teaching are for the greater part roundabout or wring-
ways which do not lead them to eternal salvation. Why?
Because a man guides only in a human way; he shapes
others according to himself. Men are weak and create
more weakness in others. However, if I teach people in
My divine way, then I strengthen the divine within them.
I make them divine and that is their redemption.

If you serve Me and allow Me to be active within you

only for a second, then this is more than you can
achieve in a year of your own searching and striving.
You should say: "Jesus, be active within me for the
benefit of all beings - that they all may be blessed
through You!"

This shall be your task forever and ever!

AMEN.”
