What Makes...

"What makes an Anluwage an Anluwage?" was a question I casually asked while getting myself ready anchoring for a video presentation way back in Manila in 2002. "What makes an Anluwage an Anluwage even if you don on him/her another parish organization's uniform?" I continued. The question went unanswered...at least for a couple of years.

Having moved to the UK, I am grateful to have been given the chance to serve the Lord through the web ministry of Tanghalang Anluwage, Inc. Come to think of it, I have been to at least three ministries of this group: first in the parish newsletter, then to the theater, and now in the web. In spite of that 'movement', the question was still left unanswered. The question was still waiting for that definitive reply.

At the beginning of 2008, we have unveiled the new vision and mission statements of the web. Following suit, the entire group adopted the same statements. Aware of these statements; one serving as our dream, the other as our means of achieving that dream, we feel that it's time to define who we really are.

And so on this solemn feast of St Joseph, the Great Anluwage of old, our very own patron saint, we are presenting to you "What makes an Anluwage?" in the hope that you will know more about us and what makes us unique. Through this, we look forward to working even further with you and for you. Read here.
