Close to 3,000 people in 2 days time. Whew! So tired but so happy. My friend Dr. Alan Melacor squeezed in 8 talks for two days and brought me from Cagayan de Oro to Malaybalay Bukidnon (Beautiful place!) and had me speak to those wonderful people. Their warmth, their hospitality, their smiles and their laughter ……moments like these do not come everyday as the Ilocana and I enjoyed every moment of it.
Christ Commission Fellowship CDO organized and sponsored a parenting seminar and the place was filled with 888 participants…(hm-mm…..like the Beijing Olympics.) I enjoyed the session as the very well organized CCF staff made sure that participants maximized their learning while I did the speaking. Breakout sessions, survey forms, ice breakers came complete with the “talkies” and the only question I heard people ask is when will the next seminars be.
Well…there are plans for me to go back to Bukidnon and CDO to do talks on February of next year. And I look forward to this. Got home yesterday afternoon, opened my email, made some business phone calls and crashed.
Today, things are back to normal. Doing the early morning segment with Umagang Kay Ganda doing a talk for students in a very popular school which is 2 to 3 hours travel away from Manila…and you know what? I may be very tired but I feel joy and happiness welling in my heart….”same thing here….” says the Ilocana who is with me most of the time.
Tell me now….have you ever felt the same way? Tired but happy? And would you like to tell me all about it? “I’ll be back…” and this is Francis speaking not Arnold! Lord willing of course!

hi sir Francis, I just want you to know that your a very good speaker that really catches the attention of many people and have a very great sense of humor.. I really enjoyed the forum.. And I also want to ask a question, “paano ko po matutulungan ang isang tao maka-gain ulit ng tiwala from his parents?” (parents po ang nawalan ng tiwala, to make it clear.;) and how could I lead a person for him to know how he could know what he reall wnats in life?” thank you po, I hope you could answer my questions….. take care… And GodSpeed
Parents some times get disappointed but this does not mean they love us less. Trust is to be earned. And the best way to earn the trust is to deliver on what you promise and to tell them to help them along the way.
Trust cannot be demanded, it can only be earned.
So stay focused! Thanks for the good and kind words.
hi francis, i am a friend of lot oliveros from pampanga.
i have a son who will be graduating this march. i think that it will be a big help for them to hear your inspirational talks. please help me on how to make this possible. i hope you still have some free dates on your hectic schedule to accomodate us. i would also want to know how much it will be to have you as our speaker.
thank you very much.
Hey! goodmorning. i really need info about A.Q. what does that mean again?
Hope you’ll answer. thankyou! Godbless
what touched me most with your talk at cdbs are these words: “i love my children equally, but i love them differently.” sometimes children asked their parents whom they love most among their children..now i found the right answer…thank you…
Hi Sr. Francis, I am also a student from CDBS. I was really inspired from your talk. Without any visual aids or anything at all, you really did a good job! :] We hope that you can come and do a talk to us again. I even told my parents aboit your amazing talk. Thanks you once again. :]
