Dilaab Foundation Inc. Igniting spaces of hope Welcome to the official page of Dilaab Foundation Inc. In the year 2000, Friends of Foundation Inc. By 20014, Barug Pilipino Inc.

Dilaab started as three different groups trying to address blatant problems that seriously undermined the integrity of Filipino society at the start of the 21st century. reached out to address the psycho-spiritual needs of Overseas Filipino Workers and their families. A year later, Kamatuoran ("Truth") boldly faced the threats of illegal drugs in Cebu. ("Make a Stand Filipino") - an offshoot of the successful effort to reverse the questionable impeachment of then Chief Justice of the Supreme Court - became a vehicle in the aspiration of bringing about a corruption-intolerant Philippines. All three organizations merged into Dilaab Foundation Inc. in 2005. It was three children giving birth to a mother. Like the spiritual fire in Acts 2:3 from which the group's name is derived, Dilaab has been able to ignite spiritual energies through prayerful reading of the Bible, forming circles of discernment, and providing pastoral accompaniment.

The I CHOOSE GOD Movement was officially launched today at 12:45 PM during the monthly Clergy Recollection of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu, held at the St. John XXIII Minor Seminary Galilee Center and spearheaded by Archbishop Alberto โ€œAbetโ€ S. Uy, D.D., Archbishop of Cebu.

The launch forms part of the Archdioceseโ€™s continuing journey toward its 2034 Centennial Jubilee, under the theme โ€œJourneying Together as a Church Fully Alive.โ€ The nine-year journey calls the local Church to grow as a synodal, missionary communityโ€”one that learns its faith, celebrates it, and witnesses to it in daily life.

In this journey, I CHOOSE GOD offers a simple but profound invitation: to make faith a conscious choice that shapes our everyday decisions.

A non-partisan movement of the Archdiocese of Cebu through C-CIMPEL, in collaboration with the Archdiocesan Commissions on Service, Basic Ecclesial Communities, Youth, CADComM, and Dilaab Foundation Inc., it promotes conscience formation, good citizenship, and good governance.

To choose God is to choose truth over deception, integrity over corruption, responsibility over indifference, and the common good over self-interest.

For Dilaab, this resonates deeply with its mission of helping form people who discern and live out their faith in the realities of everyday life.

As Cebu journeys toward 2034, becoming a Church Fully Alive will not be measured simply by the size of celebrations, but by the lives transformed by faith. As the Archdiocese itself emphasizes, a living Church is one whose people understand their faith, celebrate it, and bear witness to it in daily life.

I CHOOSE GOD, therefore, is more than a campaign. It is an invitation to participate in this journeyโ€”one choice, one conscience, one person at a time.

Because a Church fully alive is made up of people who choose to live their faith.

I CHOOSE GOD.
I CHOOSE TO LIVE MY FAITH.
I CHOOSE TO JOURNEY WITH OTHERS.

And together, we become a Church Fully Alive.

READINGS AT A GLANCE | God forgives (Matthew 18:21-35) so we overlook faults (Sirach 27:30-28:7) not judge others (Romans 14:7-9) and so find healing (Psalm 103).

"Forgive" (v. 21) lit. to send away from, letting go, or to release: something, someone, and, in today's gospel, debt or sin. The latter begins with a realization that God has forgiven us of a debt impossible to pay.

The word captures the whole spectrum of Jesus' mission and the demands of discipleship. One can forgive privately (Lk 17:3-4) or in a community context (today's gospel).

What area of hurt and unforgiveness in my life do I need to let go? How will I do this?

๐ŸŒธโœจ โ€œHer birth brought joy to heaven and earth, and from the moment of her first breath, she held power over darkness.โ€ โ€” Blessed Anne-Catherine Emmerich

Today we celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a feast that fills us with hope and joy. From her birth, Mary became a radiant sign of Godโ€™s plan of salvation โ€” chosen to be the Mother of Jesus, the Light of the world.

At Dilaab Foundation Inc., we draw inspiration from Maryโ€™s life: her purity, her faith, and her courage to say yes. Like her, we are called to ignite spaces of hope, form consciences, and accompany individuals and communities so that light may overcome darkness in our time.

๐Ÿ™ May Maryโ€™s birth remind us that new beginnings are always possible, and that with God, joy and hope are never far away.

๐Ÿ’ง Caring for water is caring for lifeโ€”and for one another.

This September, Pope Leo XIV invites us to pray and act to care for waterโ€”Godโ€™s gift entrusted to all โ€”especially mindful of those who still lack access to clean, safe water.

In line with Dilaabโ€™s commitment to Youth and Digital Evangelization, may our digital spaces help engage young people in formation, discernment, and meaningful actionโ€”nurturing a generation that cares for creation, seeks justice, and protects the gifts we share.

๐Ÿ™ โ€œMay our care for water be a sign of love for the Creator and a commitment to the lives of the poor.โ€
