QUOTE
"Filipinos are wonderful wherever you go. I felt that love and support from my kababayan when I was a priest. In the United States Filipinos are awesome. They share their love. They share their support. Whatever programs or undertaking that you have, they are there for the Church, not only for us (priests)."
