Bro. Jerry & Sister Lilian Juadiong

Brother Jerry and Sister Lilian Juadiong with their children are active members of the Couples and Singles for Christ, respectively. Bro. Jerry actively participates in CFC's Outreach Ministry. He was one of the facilitators in the on-going Christian Life Program being held at the Civil Service Commission. On the other hand, Sister Lilian is a professor at the Department of Family Life and Child Development, College of Home Economics, UP Diliman. As a psychologist, Sister Lilian appears at MOM's, a daily Talk Show magazine program aired at QTV - 11 from 5:00-6:00 in the evening. The show promotes family bonding.

Along with other facilitators who served with Bro. Jerry, the music ministry of the CFC performs regularly every CLP session being held at the CSC's Function Hall rendering Christian music before and after the program. No other than Commissioners Cesar D. Buenaflor and May Ann Z. Fernandez-Mendoza attended the first module of the Program as Chairman Ricardo L. Saludo was attending a very important business of the Commission.

The background material in the above family picture of Bro. Jerry is a photograph of a 16th century ornamental brick from Saint Mathias Church in Tumauini, Isabela. The Church is one of the most elegant Baroque Churches in the Philippines or maybe in the whole world. Baroque Churches in our country is part of our historical heritage as a people representing the history of our faith, which is now slowly decaying through centuries that needs to be restored. Despite storms, typhoons and calamities for centruries, its structure and the ornamental bricks, however, survived symbolizing the strenght our faith as a people. Perhaps one must take moments of repose to scan the wealth of each red clay, brick and discover the trimmings of flowers folliage, swag and angel faces. Some ornamentation are so subtle that discerning their meanings or allusions could bring a sense of fulfillment . . ."The Saint Mathias Church, otherwise known as the Jewel of the (Cagayan) Valley . . . see it for yourself (double click here!).
