CHRISTMAS, our most favorite time of the year is upon us once again. As we celebrate, let us truly remember and recollect the reason for this season, -- the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, his gift of salvation, and his abundant love for everyone. To my beloved Talisaynons, as much as we want to celebrate in the manner we were used to, our circumstances dictate otherwise. Thus, I encourage everyone to express the warmth of our love for family friends with the observance of protocols designed to keep us safe.

We have to give thanks to God for all the blessings and protection, the Covid-19 pandemic, the disasters and calamities made this year difficult, but the coming of Jesus should evoke in us the spirit of gratitude, hope and faith --- gratitude for all the blessings bestowed upon us, hope for the future, and faith that our future shall be well for it is in the hands of our Savior.

Thanks be to God for His priceless gift. Merry Christmas. GOD BLESS US ALL!
