I am offering this book not only as a guidebook or reference for training but, as importantly, also as a key to – again, this phrase – OPENING MINDS. Meaning, trainings should springboard each and every participant into being open to fresh ideas, and even trigger deep inside them an inner itch to look beyond the horizons, and explore them for new, innovative, alternative paths to development. In other words, this guidebook is not only for trainers. This guidebook is also meant for training participants, teachers, professors, and anyone who values the constant pursuit of growth and development in all forms, be it personal, professional, social, or national.

Although this book, in its search for ancient wisdom, goes back as far as 300BC, I must admit that my main inspirations are much more recent than that.

This book, Empowering the Retirees, is a guide for anyone who wants to retire with a sense of purpose and meaning. Whether you’re about to retire, have already retired, or are helping someone else navigate this transition, this book will provide you with practical advice, inspiring stories, and helpful resources to make the most of your retirement years. As a bonus, it also includes a discussion of certain benefits for retirees available under various applicable Philippine laws.

This coffee table book is a collection of Alvin B. Cruz’s one hundred and one new haiku interspersed with watercolor paintings by Pinky Peralta. Built around the general theme of the four seasons, Written on Water offers a microscopic yet colorful view of life in seemingly ordinary things: falling leaves, a shared umbrella, shadow of a butterfly, soundless wind chimes, and many other everyday encounters made extraordinary by the combined magic of the poet’s pen and the artist’s brush.

“Ang Librong ito ay tungkol sa Halaga ng Pangalan, Purpose o Layunin mo Dito sa mundo, Mga Katanungan sa ating kaisipan at higit sa lahat pag-ibig.”

“This book provides a window into the soul of a man living his ordinary life extraordinarily. He sees ordinary things extraordinarily. What is nothing short of astonishing is what we come to see through that window: not bitterness, anger, resentment and frustration, but rather equanimity, graciousness, service, hope and love. Anyone interested in what a radical and free-spirited outlook in life looks like should read this luminous text. Sedfrey’s musings are a marvel. “

– Rev. Fr. Michael J. Belonio, Augustinian Friar

May God bless us all always.
