ANGEL THOUGHTS
Breaking in love, light, and hope
Hold still, feel the warmth. Sandee S. Masigan
“I have heard it before, that many of us arrive at a crossroads and that moment asks a difficult question “Which way?”
Businessman-turned-social activist and game-changer Jose Montelibano of Bacolod City, more fondly known as Boy, shares his thoughts on his life-changing experiences over the past 17 years, thanks to him joining the movement, Gawad Kalinga.
“The difficulty is not because the choices are mind-boggling,” says Boy. “Mine was not anyway. It did not challenge my intelligence. Instead, it challenged my heart and it challenged my will. The crossroads did not force me to take either of two confusing paths. Both were simple. In fact, one was most familiar, a path I was already on. The other did not seem that strange, either, except I had not yet immersed myself there deeply and for long.”
