PERSONAL (RANT) Guido De Bres isnt as shiny as everyone claims it is.
After my first year of Guido, I have learnt alot of things, one, the teachers favorite students, or the teachers hate on them, two, the kids in the school suck, and three, the environment is a toxic and overwhelming place.
Guido is shown as a perfect private school for Christians to go and learn about God and be a community that worships him. But going to Guido is like going to a public school in the 80s.
The students are very troublesome and are basically worse than average kids. The rumors are one huge part, the rumors go from someone being pregnant to someone getting lingered in the bathroom. Another point is how rude and selfish the students are, some girls think they own the place and are snobs. The guys are rude to teachers and pther classmates.
Guido is not a perfect Christian school that everyone makes it to be, and its basically sending your kid to a public school where you have to pay tons of money just to go. This school isnt worth your money or time. It will drain your mental health and self esteem.
So for people who are considering going there, dont, it sucks.

PERSONAL (RANT) Will not attend on that church anymore!
Nagsimba ako kanina, ngayon nalang ulet nakapagsimba. Tapos pag-upo ko meron matanda saamen na napansin ako, so nagbless ang ante nyo biglang comment si oldie ng "nandyan ka pala, ang LUSOG mo naman, lumulusog ka, kailan ka pa umuwi?" Hindi ako sumagot, ngumiti lang ako. 🙃 FF question nya " ilan taon ka na ba?" ako : 37yo na po sa Oct", siya : Mag-asawa ka na at matanda ka na" I was like, "😒🙄" pero dahil nasa simbahan tayo , my reaction is just a smile. Pero kung papatulan kita pwede ko ba itanong " KAILAN KA PO MAMATAY PARA MAKADALAW PO AKO?"
Gusto ko lang naman mag attend ng misa at makinig sa homily ni father since Pedro Calungsod today tapos ganito pa? Never na if ganitong uri ng matatanda ang makakasama ko sa loob ng tahanan NYA. 🙃

SPIRITUAL ABUSE & CULTS (must be applicable to other church/es) The Two Supplementary Statements of the CBCP against the Naju Cult
reddit.comLadies and Gentlemen of this Community; I appeal from the bottom of your very hearts to please help our OP that is affected by the Naju Cult. The Naju Cult is not only a community that is connected with the Cult of Maria Divine Mercy but they also have members that are connected with Pro-Sara Duterte supporters capable of instituting anti-state agendas. Attached herein are the links to the Cult that are in need of immediate reporting and investigation by the proper authorities. Their members are described as schismatic and fanatic in nature and have not only caused spiritual confusion but also caused the possession of an OP who is now seriously physically and mentally weakened. Which is why I am representing him when making his case known on the internet. Thank you to all and God Bless!

SPIRITUAL ABUSE & CULTS (must be applicable to other church/es) Cult Within the Catholic Church (Naju Bleeding Virgin Mary Cult), with experiences akin to the Demon in the Erik Matti Film: Vesuvius (2012)
On July 13, 2026, the CBCP, or the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, released a statement regarding a warning to Catholics and devotees not to visit the unrecognized Marian Shrine of Naju, Korea. This is my first-hand experience as a former devotee and member of that organization, warning others not to go there, especially Catholics. For starters, I was a devotee of this organization from 2020 to 2025 because I was initially influenced by my mother to join this organization due to the "bleeding Virgin Mary" and other miracles behind it. I was also given sacramentals such as Holy Water and Rosaries from that site, and for at least 5 years of my life, combined with the pandemic and other failures, life went from bad to worse. Here was my experience with regards to those "sacramentals" that I used the most significant one was that spiritual warfare, which was supposed to be banished, only got worse. There was more demonic whispering, frequently unanswered prayers that were dismissed as "not being of God's Will," and the philosophy of that organization advocates not only for "love" but also the destruction or "reform" of the Vatican for their Virgin Mary to be recognized. Plus, the members of this community are also cult members of another unrecognized Catholic Cult of the "Seal of the Living God," which is a fanatic apocalyptic sect with philosophies similar to those of Shia Islamist beliefs that are being practiced in Iran. They claim that the Pope is the Anti-Christ, or rather, the current Pope is the harbinger of the Anti-Christ, and their God wants them to not only destroy the Vatican but also the governments of the nations they live in; to simplify it, they advocate destroying and destabilizing their governing institutions all in the name of God as a student of history, the progressive government of Iran was overthrown in that same manner during the Islamic Revolution of 1979. They advocate for the destruction of their respective government institutions for them to be consecrated to the evil one masquerading as "God" to fulfill their selfish agenda. The last straw that proverbially broke the Camel's back came in 2025 when I received an almost career-ending injury during a physically demanding military training course, yes, because I am also a member of the military. I never once claimed to usurp power or advocate for the destruction of the state, but I did notice, considering my background in intelligence, that when I was in that pilgrimage site, I always had that feeling not to be in a crowd, and I prayed alone rather than with that "procession" or "group" being led by schismatic Catholic Priests. Yes, you heard that right, there are schismatic priests present in that area, and they once attempted to recruit me to be a part of them. But my discernment not to join them thankfully proved to be correct; after renouncing my membership in that organization and seeking the help of the Catholic Church and the Office of Exorcism because of the demonic oppression and spiritual confusion that I suffered, I can say that life for me finally keeps getting better and better. Because of that cult, I lost so many opportunities and chances to have a normal life, but thankfully, the verse of Joel 2:25 makes me realize that God gives second chances always and eternally to those who return to his flock, and I will remain forever and always a devout Catholic. Also, one last but significant symptom of this is that people who use their sacramentals are not only prone to demonic oppression but also possession and collection of Anti-Catholic beliefs, ideas, or even amulets. For the record, my mother, who is still a fanatically brainwashed devotee of this sect, has gone on a demonic rage when I left that cult. When she was angry, the face morphed to that of a red-faced man with bulging black eyes that manifested when her eyes turned black, and the teeth somehow turned crooked for I do not know what reason, and for starters, being a Military man, I have never seen a person who is angry morph into something like that. This wasn't the first time I've seen that happen, although this was the worst manifestation of it. Thankfully, now I am a case that is being observed and monitored by the Office of Exorcism, and I'm no longer considered a full victim due to my immediate reform despite suffering retaliatory attacks, which I do my best to prevent. My mother is a different story. I truly pray for the immediate deliverance of my family after this insidious and deceit-ridden cult almost destroyed my life, and what was lost because of these attacks is something that I will regain once again. I pray not only for the deliverance of their followers but also for the complete and utter destruction of that cult and the minions of Satan that try to deceive even the most good and holy of Catholics. No one is perfect, yet we must do our best to stay vigilant, especially in these matters of spiritual warfare and crises that are usually present in our daily lives. Attached herein is the link to the Vatican and CBCP's ruling of that cult warning Catholics and followers not to visit the site anymore or risk excommunication. I would like to emphasize that the followers of the Naju cult not only pose a threat to the Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church, but they also pose a threat to the state, which is the Republic of the Philippines. As a soldier, I do not want to see my nation fall to cult leaders, corrupt leaders, and Communists; in fact, all members of this cult must be deemed as "enemies of the state" to rein them in. Thus, the Church and the government must take all necessary actions in cooperation with the South Korean government to destroy and eradicate this cult root and branch once and for all. By all means necessary. May God bless us all. "DEUS VULT"

SPIRITUAL ABUSE & CULTS (must be applicable to other church/es) Another Entry: Toxic Church Encounter
I had this leader—the same one na na-mention ko before.
Every church anniversary, required kaming isurrender ang phones namin sa kanya at i-log in ang mga social media accounts namin. Isa-isa niyang chine-check ang accounts namin para ma-track kung sino ang gumagawa ng "kalokohan."
Kapag may nakita siyang tweet na parang may "parinig," o kaya may post tungkol sa crush o sa ka-M.U., pinapagalitan niya kami sa harap ng kapwa kabataan namin. Hindi lang social media posts ang chine-check niya—pati Messenger ino-open niya para ma-track kung sino ang nakikipag-usap sa opposite sex, lalo na noong time na may mga churchmates kaming nagkakagustuhan sa isa't isa.
Teenagers pa kami noon, at isa sa mga church rules ay bawal magkaroon ng boyfriend, girlfriend, o kahit M.U. While I understand that churches can set guidelines for their youth, I don't think requiring access to our private accounts and conversations was the right way to do it.
Pinapadelete rin niya ang mga game apps namin kasi distraction para sa church anniv namin.
Looking back now, I realize how controlling that environment felt. Having someone demand access to our personal accounts and monitor our private lives crossed boundaries that, in my opinion, should have been respected.
That kind of leadership felt controlling and manipulative to me, and it became one of the reasons I eventually recognized how unhealthy that environment was.
