Tampok sa harapang pabalat sina Martin Nievera, Pops Fernandez
at ang kanilang mga anak na sina Robin at Ram.
Tampok sa likurang pabalat si Cristina Gonzales
para sa Sun Beach Sandal print ad.

Ang unang labas ng Kaalaman, Karunungan at Katotohanan na aking sinulat sa ilalim ng penname na Newton Aresgala.

“Tignan mo ang mga langgam, ikaw na taong ubod ng tamad,
pamumuhay nila’y masdan mo at nang ikaw ay mamumat.
Kahit sila’y walang pinunong sa kanila’y nag-uutos,
walang tagapamahala o tagamasid na sinusunod,
ngunit nag-iimbak ng pagkain sa tag-araw,
kailanga’y iniipon kung panahon ng anihan.”
          – Mga Kawikaan 6:6-7, Magandang Balita Biblia, Tagalog Popular Version

Mga samu’t-saring “Kaalaman, Karunungan at Katotohanan” sa Gintong Mariposa Family Magazine, na isinulat sa ilalim ng penname na Newton Aresgala.

“Magtatamo ng kaunawaan ang mga napapalayo sa katotohanan, at tatanggap ng pangaral ang mga matitigas ang ulo.” – Ang Aklat ng Isaias 29:24, Magandang Balita Biblia, Tagalog Popular Version.

Ang kolum kong “Kaalaman, Karunungan at Katotohanan” ay ginawa ko sa udyok ni Ms. Ernestina “Ernie” Evora-Sioco, na editor-in-chief ng MOD at executive editor ng Gintong Mariposa, at itinuturing kong isa sa mga naging mentors ko sa pagsusulat. Ito ay koleksiyon ng mga samu’t-saring kaalaman sa iba’t-ibang larangan. Gumamit ako ng penname – Newton Aresgala – sa kolum na ito, na anagram ng aking tunay na pangalan.

“Kung magkagayon, sasayaw sa katuwaan ang mga dalaga, makikigalak pati mga binata’t matatanda; ang kanilang dalamhati ay magiging tuwa, aaliwin ko sila at papalitan ng kagalakan ang kanilang kalungkutan.” – Ang Aklat ng Jeremias 31:13, Magandang Balita Biblia, Tagalog Popular Version.

May 1



ALAM MO BA 'TO?

(Do You Know This?)

Ang Buwan ng Mayo

          Ang buwan ng Mayo na panglimang buwan sa Gregorian Calendar ay tinatawag sa sinaunang Roman Calendar na Maius na hinalaw sa pangalan ni Maia, ang diyosa ng pagsibol at paglago. Bagama’t mayroong nagsasabi na ito ay mula sa salitang Latin na majores na tumutukoy sa mga “nakatatandang tao” kaya ang buwang ito ay sinasabing para sa kanila. Isa pang posibleng pinagmulan ng pangalan ng buwang ito ay ang tawag sa mataas na kapulungan ng Senado sa Roma na tinatawag ding Majores.

          Sa Pilipinas, ang buwan ng Mayo ay karaniwang tinutukoy bilang buwan ng mga piyesta na halaw sa sinaunang kaugalian ng mga katutubo na buwan ng pagpapasalamat sa mga diyos at diyosa o sa mga anito ng kalikasan dahil sa masaganang ani, na nahaluan ng paniniwalang Katoliko.

          Ang agate ang birthstone ng Mayo noong sinaunang panahon at emerald naman sa makabagong panahon, samantalang ang flower of the month ay ang hawthorn.
