The Philippine’s fifth President, Manuel A. Roxas, and the nation will be honored in singer-composer Anthony Castelo’s upcoming music video entitled “Manuel Roxas, A Prophesy Fulfilled” dedicated to the closing of the State of Israel’s “Thank you, Philippines” celebration on May 4, Israel’s 68th National Day.

 “It will be recalled that on November 29, 1947, it was the Philippines with Roxas as sitting President plus two other countries, that provided the swing vote that paved the way for the establishment of the State of Israel in the United Nations under U.N. Resolution 181, also known as The Partition of Palestine in fulfillment of Biblical prophesy of thousands of years ago”, Castelo explained.

 “Under extreme pressure from two opposing camps, those for and against Israel, Roxas decided to go God’s way. With this important act and crucial role in helping seal the establishment and birth of the ‘Promise Land’, I believe Roxas and the Philippines have found favor in God’s eyes”, Castelo stressed, citing God’s promise to His original chosen people in Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse, and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you”

Castelo also believes that there’s a spiritual umbilical cord between the Philippines and Israel. And that God has a clear promise to those like Roxas and the Philippines who have been obedient to Him – that these blessings extend to families, communities and nations – continuing from generation to generation. President Manuel A. Roxas is the father of former Senator Gerry Roxas and grandfather of Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II.

With Castelo’s popular recording and composition, “DakilangLahi” as music bed, the singer and his production team will attempt to recapture this dramatic period in world history using photos and films from the 1940’s to complete the music-video produced by DakilangLahi Foundation headed by Castelo himself.

Chiz’s twins turned animal lovers

Heart Evangelista’s influence on her husband’s twins – Chesi and Quino – is palpable in their love for animals.

Heart is a spokesman of Philippine Animal Welfare Society or PAWS.

Very often, she earns the praise of netizens for adopting dogs and cats and bringing them home and later on she finds individuals willing to take the animals as their own.

“Gusto ko kasi magpulot ng mga pusa. Eh sa bahay ko po para akong may nursery, marami akong mga alagang kuting na pinapaalagaan ko,” the actress said.

The cats and dogs she found and looking after them have bonded her and the twins closer.

 “So, yung mga bata, nung umpisa medyo naiilang sila na may mga pusa, aso ganyan. Pero ngayon, natuto na rin silang maging animal-lover katulad ko. Kaya para kaming may mga alaga na bata rin na ipinapa-adopt namin. So yun nilalaro lang namin yung mga aso, lalo na ngayon na busy si Chiz at ako minsan nasa bahay ako. Kami talaga yung nagbaba-bonding,” Heart said.

Aside from taking care of their pets at home, Chesi and Quino have started liking the idea of cooking, and the three of them love it when they cook.

 “Para lang kaming may science project sa kusina kasi first time lang nilang magluto ng lasagna so para rin kaming nag-e-experiment. Ang fun lang,” Heart added.
