Anong gagawin mo sa iyong 13th month pay?

 

Kapag lumalamig na ang panahon, isa sa mga inaabangan ng mga empleyadong tulad ko ay ang 13th month pay o bonus tuwing December (ang ibang company November palang nagbibigay na).

Ang 13th month pay ayon sa ibinigay na meaning ng Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) ay benepisyong ibinigay sa mga empleyado (rank and file) kahit ano pa ang kanilang status (regular, probationary, contractual) at ano pa man ang paraan ng pagtanggap ng kanilang sweldo (monthly, semi-monthly, arawan o per piraso) basta nagtrabaho sila ng isang buwan o pataas sa loob ng isang calendar year. At ito ay dapat ibigay bago mag-December 24.

Lahat ba ng nagtatrabaho ay makatatanggap ng 13th month pay?

Hindi lahat ay makakatanggap ng 13th month pay ayon sa batas. May mga employers na hindi sakop ng PD 851 o 13th month pay law. Tulad ng mga sumusunod:

1. Government at ang political sub-division nito
2. Employers na isinasama na ang 13th month pay sa buwanang kita
3. Persons in the personal service of another in relation to such workers;
4. Employers of those who are paid on purely commission, boundary or
   task basis, and those who are paid a fixed amount for performing
   specific work, irrespective of the time consumed in the performance
   thereof (except those workers who are paid on piece -rate basis, in
   which case their employer shall grant them thirteenth-month pay).

Computation ng 13th month pay

Madali lang ang computation ng 13th month pay, i-divide lang ang iyong total basic salary sa loob ng isang taon sa 12 buwan. Depende sa employer kung ibabawas ang mga absences at lates mo.

Halimbawa: Si Juan ay kumikita ng P10,000 kada buwan at regular na siyang emplyeado sa kaniyang pinagtatrabahuhan. Ang kaniyang matatanggap na 13th month pay ay P10,000.

Total Basic pay (10,000x12months)  = P120,000

Divided by 12

Total  P10,000.

Kung si Juan ay may limang (5) na buwan nagtrabaho, (July-November) at may sweldo na P10,000 kada buwan, tatanggap siya ng 13th month pay na:

Total basic pay    P10,000 x 5 months  = P 50,000

Divided by 12

Total P4,166.67

 

Kung daily rate at mimimum wage earner naman si Juan na may arawang kita na P373 ay makatatanggap siya ng 13th month pay na:

Total basic pay (walang kaltas na absents at late)  –  P373 x 26.08  = P 9,727.84

Pro-rata ang computation kung hindi nakabuo ng 12 months o isang taon si Juan.

 

Ang mga resigned employees ba ay mayroon ding 13th month pay?

Siyempre naman mayroon din silang matatanggap na 13th month pay. Kaya lang depende sa employer kung kailan ito ibibigay lalo kung na-separate sila bago mag-cut-off.  Maaring hindi sila makasabay sa mga active pang employee.  Sa maraming employer tulad ng pinagtatrabahuhan ko ang cut-off ng computation ay tuwing November 30.

Taxable ba ang 13th month pay?

Sa mga may malalaking sweldo, ito ang kalimitang tanong nila kung may w/holding tax ba ang 13th month pay nila?

Ang 13th month pay kasama pa ng ibang incentives o bonus na natatanggap ng isang empleyado sa loob ng isang taon na hindi tataas sa P90,000 ay exempted sa tax.  At ang anomang sobra sa P90,000 ay masu-subject na sa tax.

 

Saan mo dadalhin ang 13th month pay mo?

Ngayong alam na natin ang pagco-compute ng 13th month pay, ang tanong, saan natin dadalhin ito?

Kayo naman ang magshare mga beshies.  Maaring ipost ang inyong comment. Salamat.

Mr. Controversy says “The Truth is Something Simple Meant for Simple Minds”

Another sensitive, full of Biblical wisdom blog from no other than Mr. Controversy is up there to teach us that “simple truth is meant for simple mind”.

There is simple truth, and there is complicated one. Simple truth need not to expound more unlike complicated ones. Lord Jesus is teaching us simple truth when he said “And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.” For simple mind, we can easily grasp this, strictly, we shall not call any man “father” in spiritual sense.

Priests are spiritually-concerned people, men on earth, and still upon reading and investigating the Bible for many decades, they have not understand the simple truth forbade by Christ.

We are lucky to have Mr. Controversy. Thanks be to God for that.

 

Catholic Member, Self-proclaimed Greek Linguist: Real or Geek?

I thank God on this.

The more they pull the string and accuse Bro. Eli of no-basis- language illiteracy, this time it seems it turns around, the real ignorant in language of Greek reveals. Thanks to internet!

In one of many post of Bro. Eli Soriano in his blogsite, he once more refuted the Catholic teaching of calling the head of their church “pope” or “father”, which Biblically contradicts Christ’s teaching as written in,

MATTHEW 23:9 

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

 

http://www.controversyextraordinary.com/2015/04/never-pope-never-in-rome-was-apostle.html

 

According to Bro. Eli, the Roman Catholic Church authorities used the other English version of the Bible to suffice their false doctrines, despising the prohibition of using other English version. The phrase they referred as basis of their doctrine is “I became your father” wherein the Catholic Bible is translated as “I begotten you”:

 

Source: http://www.biblestudytools.com/parallel-bible/passage/

On Bro. Eli’s blog, referring to interlinear Greek translation of “begotten”, Greek text 1080 is translated as;

γεννάω

gennaō

 

From a variation of G1085; to procreate (properly of the father, but by extension of the mother); figuratively to regenerate: – bear, beget, be born, bring forth, conceive, be delivered of, gender, make, spring.

 

Unacceptable to RCC followers, one self-claimed Greek expert contested Bro. Eli and accused him of Biblical Greek ignorance. He said Bro. Eli did not understand Greek word ἐγέννησα (egennēsa) and just only understand γεννάω (gennaō) of Greek Lexicon. According to this self-claimed expert, the Greek translation of the verse is:

 

 

 

Is Bro. Eli incorrect in using the Greek word “γεννάω (gennaō)”?

Or only the fault-finder mind thinks of it.

 

Referring to e-sword, http://www.e-sword.net/,

 

 

By pointing to G1080 to look for meaning of , it will shows,

 

 

Do we have problem on this?

Or again for the mind who only thinks is to bring the good man down – things are gone wrong always. Tsk. Tsk.

Lets back to this geek self-proclaim.

So what is ἐγέννησα (egennēsa) in Interlinear Greek New Testament?

DID BEGET!

 

By clicking G1080,

 

 

Let’s click G5656 now,

 

 

What is an AORIST TENSE?

http://studybible.info/strongs/G5777

The aorist tense is characterized by its emphasis on punctiliar action; that is, the concept of the verb is considered without regard for past, present, or future time. There is no direct or clear English equivalent for this tense, though it is generally rendered as a simple past tense in most translations.

The events described by the aorist tense are classified into a number of categories by grammarians. The most common of these include a view of the action as having begun from a certain  point (“inceptive aorist”), or having ended at a certain point
(“cumulative aorist”), or merely existing at a certain point (“punctiliar aorist”). The categorization of other cases can be found in Greek reference grammars.

The English reader need not concern himself with most of these  finer points concerning the aorist tense, since in most cases they cannot be rendered accurately in English translation, being fine points of Greek exegesis only. The common practice
of rendering an aorist by a simple English past tense should suffice in most cases.

 

We are not an expert here but we know how to read.   Thanks to Mr. Google. Thanks be to GOD. Even they boast how good they are in Greek language, the concept of the Bible is still shaded to them. Their eyes are covered with veils unless they accept the light.

 

Conclusion

It is saddening that intellectual people as they claimed they are, is use by evil spirits to admonish the truth written in the Bible. It is very clear that we should not call any men as our spiritual father but only our Father in heaven. If we are true Christians, we should follow our Christ, he calls every man who do the will of God as brothers, sisters and mothers – never father.

 

Mat_12:50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

 

 

Now, it is up to us who to believe for our soul’s sake.

Catholic-apologetic spread lies again – Bro. Eli, MCGI is near end

So much of their fear and trembles in thinking their are decreasing in numbers, Hate blog of catholic-apologetic spreads lies again.

My reply to catholic-apologetic who hated Bro. Eli and MCGI.

October 17, 2014

DO MCGI MEMBERS EXPRESS HATES TO NON-MCGI MEMBERS AS CATHOLIC-APOLOGETIC OF SPLENDOROFTHECHURCH CLAIMED?

As far as my memory serves me, the following are the charities MCGI involve with and continue doing with the help of God:

Clinic Ni Kuya

La Verdad Christian College for free-education

Mass Blood Letting

Libreng-Sakay

Dunong-gulong

Action Center ni Kuya

UNTV 37 Rescue Team

Transient House

Home for the Aged/Senior Citizens

Home for Abandoned Babies

Bible Exposition/Mass Indoctrination

Free-Bible

24/7 Community Prayer & broadcast

A Song of Praise

Tree Planting

Community Service /Clean-up Drive

Please visit this for more details: http://www.mcgi.org/the-true-church-of-god/charities/

With those charities mentioned above, I wonder why some such as catholic-apologetic Aloysius Kayiwa is blind to see these things-is he blinded by his false belief or he just opted to believe in hear-says and slack in verifying one’s accusation.

I was a catholic before and also felt bad about Bro. Eli Soriano the first time I heard him. It is quite he is attacking my belief, the Catholic faith where my families hold on to. I am furious with that man on television as I remembered watching him every night. But the good thing is, after I heard what he says and weighted as far as my morals is concerned, I found that he speak nothing but the truth in the Bible. I also remembered that I am not a Bible reader before, our Bible is just a display in the altar made by my father. And the rest is history, I am now a Christian, not only in lips but in spirit. Thanks be to God for His faith.

I learned how to love and to care to people, not only to those who love me but as well to those who do not show any compassion, enemies are may be. So how come this apologetic is shouting so much that we the MCGI-members shows no compassion to our fellow-men, for non-MCGI members? I think he is talking to himself and to his co-catholic members and he is just afraid to accept the truth that they are impliedly spreading hates not only to themselves, so much to non-Catholics. Their blogs speak what they are, they claiming the other way around.

If telling what were written in the Bible that affects their beliefs , the possibility is : once truth is speak out, lies are expose , and they felt bad about it and still embrace the belief even the Bible tells it is wrong, I think they are HARD-HEADED and ANTI-CHRIST. They do not want to listen to Lord Jesus Christ and what they want is to listen to a MAN (pope/priests) who delivers only man-made doctrines.

BRO. ELI SORIANO AND MCGI IS NEAR TO END ACCORDING TO CATHOLIC-APOLOGETIC

Understanding comes from God, this is undeniable, no one can contest. And God who made heaven and earth will not give understanding to wicked people, especially that of someone who will preach His words. So, that someone is not wicked and had chosen by God to understand and be His messenger to His people.

Whether they affirmed or not, understanding from God is given to Bro. Eli Soriano. And it is proven from the time he started his mission until now – the non-stop propagation of the gospel worldwide and the multiplying servants of God as result of his preaching is only partial evidence of prophecy of Christ.

And the understanding that the coming of Christ is near is no non-sense and not a tactic to spread fear to congregation or to people who had chance to listen to Bro. Eli’s preaching, but as part of the gospel is preparation for us to be more holy and vigilant.   This catholic- apologetic misunderstood our preparation to Christ’s near coming. For everybody’s information, MCGI members are not told by Bro. Eli nor Bro. Daniel to stop pursuing education or chosen profession just because the world is near to end. This is what the catholic-blog authored by Aloysus Kayiwa spreads in the net – LIES!

The truth is, MCGI-members are taught to stop loving and pursuing the material lust that this world is offer that may affect one’s salvation. It is the LUST of this world that we are encouraged to stop to pursue because the lusts of this world are not of to God of heaven but to evil. And that is God’s teaching so we follow.

Now, we are not surprised if someone like Aloysius will say Bro. Eli Soriano and the congregation is near to end – that was enemies’ prayer to their father-the devil. It is tantamount in saying stop doing goodness:

Stop preaching the word of God so that those blinded will not be enlighten anymore. Let be criminals increases their numbers and their victims as well.

Stop the mass blood- letting so that those who need blood to cure their illnesses be dead at once.

Stop giving free-medical, free-dental, free-ride, free-legal consultation to those who cannot afford so that they were be dead in tears.

Stop giving free-education to those who cannot afford but have will to survive poverty so that they will scattered in the streets and be counted as out-of-school people.

Stop giving free-transient home to homeless, senior citizens and abandoned children so that they will freeze in the middle of the night and be killed by madman.

Only devil do not want goodness. Are those who wanted these things to happen to Bro. Eli and MCGI devils’ advocate?

Yet, whoever desires to stop the goodness shows by Bro. Eli and MCGI to their fellow-men, God of the Bible has something to say:

Isaias 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

You cannot bring the good man down, so much God’s people and His chosen messenger.

Sino ang babae sa Apocalipsis 12?

Sa paniniwala ng mga Catoliko-defensor tulad ni Atty. Marlwil Llasos na ang Assumption and coronation ni Maria ay Biblical,  ipinagpalagay nilang ang babae sa Apocalipsis 12 ay si Maria.

 

Apocalipsis 12: 1 At ang isang dakilang tanda ay nakita sa langit: isang babae na nararamtan ng araw, at ang buwan ay nasa ilalim ng kaniyang mga paa, at sa kaniyang ulo ay may isang putong na labingdalawang bituin;
2 At siya’y nagdadalang tao; at siya’y sumisigaw, na nagdaramdam sa panganganak, at sa hirap upang manganak.
3 At ang ibang tanda ay nakita sa langit: at narito, ang isang malaking dragong mapula, na may pitong ulo at sangpung sungay, at sa kaniyang mga ulo’y may pitong diadema.
4 At kinaladkad ng kaniyang buntot ang ikatlong bahagi ng mga bituin sa langit, at ipinaghagis sa lupa: at lumagay ang dragon sa harapan ng babaing manganganak na, upang lamunin ang kaniyang anak pagkapanganak niya.
5 At siya’y nanganak ng isang anak na lalake, na maghahari na may panghampas na bakal sa lahat ng mga bansa: at ang kaniyang anak ay inagaw na dinala hanggang sa Dios, at hanggang sa kaniyang luklukan.
6 At tumakas ang babae sa ilang, na doon siya’y ipinaghanda ng Dios ng isang dako, upang doon siya ampuning isang libo dalawang daan at anim na pung araw.

 

 

Si Maria nga ba ang nasa Apocalipsis 12?  At si Kristo nga ba ang batang lalaking ipinanganak niya?

 

Sa sulat ni Lucas, ito ang ating mababasa patungkol sa panganganak ni Maria:

 

Lucas 2: 1 Nangyari nga nang mga araw na yaon na lumabas ang isang utos mula kay Augusto Cesar, na magpatala ang buong sanglibutan.

 

2 Ito ang unang talaang-mamamayan na ginawa nang si Quirinio ay gobernador sa Siria.

3 At nagsisiparoon ang lahat upang sila’y mangatala, bawa’t isa sa kaniyang sariling bayan.

4 At si Jose naman ay umahon mula sa Galilea, mula sa bayan ng Nazaret, hanggang sa Judea, sa bayan ni David, na kung tawagi’y Bet-lehem, sapagka’t siya’y sa angkan at sa lahi ni David;
5 Upang patala siya pati ni Maria, na magaasawa sa kaniya, na kasalukuyang kagampan.
6 At nangyari, samantalang sila’y nangaroroon, at naganap ang mga kaarawang dapat siyang manganak.
7 At kaniyang ipinanganak ang panganay niyang anak na lalake; at ito’y binalot niya ng mga lampin, at inihiga sa isang pasabsaban, sapagka’t wala nang lugar para sa kanila sa tuluyan.

 

Kung sa panahon ni Agusto Cesar ipinanganak si Jesus, paanong sa Apocalipsis ay muli na naman siyang ipapanganak ni Maria?  At pagkapanganak ng babae, ang bata ay inagaw na dinala sa harap ng Dios, ngunit si Jesus na ipinanganak ni Maria ay lumaki at nangaral sa lupa bago pa siya bumalik sa langit.

 

Atty. Marlwil, heto na ang sagot sa tanong mo kung sino ang babae sa Apocalipsis 12, at kay Bro. Eli Soriano lang naman namin natutuhan ito.

 

Galacia 4: 22 Sapagka’t nasusulat, na si Abraham ay nagkaroon ng dalawang anak, ang isa’y sa aliping babae, at ang isa’y sa babaing malaya.
23 Gayon man ang anak sa alipin ay ipinanganak ayon sa laman; nguni’t ang anak sa babaing malaya ay sa pamamagitan ng pangako.
24 Ang mga bagay na ito’y may lamang talinghaga: sapagka’t ang mga babaing ito’y dalawang tipan; ang isa’y mula sa bundok ng Sinai, na nanganganak ng mga anak sa pagkaalipin, na ito’y si Agar.
25 Ang Agar ngang ito ay bundok ng Sinai sa Arabia, at ito’y katulad ng Jerusalem ngayon: sapagka’t ito’y nasa pagkaalipin kasama ng kaniyang mga anak.
26 Nguni’t ang Jerusalem na nasa itaas ay malaya, na siyang ina natin.

 

Ang Jerusalem na nasa langit, na malaya, ang siyang ina ng mga Kristiano.  At ang mga nalabi sa binhi ng babae ay inusig ng dragon.

 

Apocalipsis 12: 17 At nagalit ang dragon sa babae, at umalis upang bumaka sa nalabi sa kaniyang binhi, na siyang nagsisitupad ng mga utos ng Dios, at mga may patotoo ni Jesus:

 

 

Muli, ang paniniwala ng mga Katoliko patungkol sa Assumption at Coronation ni Maria ay walang basehang Biblical, gawa-gawa lamang.

 

Salamat sa Dios.

 

 

The Transitus Mariae is Heretic

More on assumption and coronation of Mary…..

Care to read please…

 

Transitus Mariae is Heretic

 

After reading, I wonder why still the Catholics believe in such heretic story as claimed by their own sources.  I do not know the author whether he is non-catholic or what, but as far as their own history is concern the  Assumption of Mary that came from Transitus Mariae is intentionally untrue.

Much more heretic Biblically speaking.

It is up to you to believe.

 

 

 

 

Assumption and coronation of Mary is not Biblical hence a Fallacy

Assumption and coronation of Mary is not Biblical hence a Fallacy

Roman Catholic Church is known for numerous false doctrines: rosary, baptism of the infants, purgatory, idol’s worship, mass, Eucharist, December 25, All Saints and All Souls Day, and many others that the Bible did not agree with.

 

Another dogma that the Bible did not consider is the Assumption and Coronation of Blessed Virgin Mary.   Let the Scriptures tell us the reason.

 

NO MAN ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN

 

John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

 

Dictionary defines assumption as the taking up of a person into heaven while ascension is the act of rising or ascending; the act of moving to a higher or more powerful position. Catholics church said by the power of God Mary’s assumption took place, on the other hand, it is by Christ’s power he ascended to heaven. Although ascension is different from assumption in terms of “whose will it is” as they implied, it is still clear that both terms directed into one place which is going up to heaven where the Almighty God is dwelt. And no man went to heaven, the Son of God does.

 

GOD’S PROMISE IN HIS RETURN

Remember the promise of our Lord Jesus Christ which is written in the Book of John,

 

Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

 

Joh 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

 

Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

 

I believed that Mary died in Christ, and those who died in Christ will rise first.

 

1Th 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

 

1Th 4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

 

1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

 

A query about the assumption of Mary was asked to Bro. Eli in Bible Exposition “Totoo bang si Birheng Maria ay iniakyat sa langit?”. 

 

 

THROWBACK

 

Few years back I made comments/inquiries regarding the assumption and coronation of Mary in Atty. Marwil Llasos blog. I posted that since the event of assumption and coronation of Mary is not written in the Bible – it is not real, it is a mere addition and a false doctrine. And believing to false doctrine is detrimental to salvation.

 

Since Catholics believe on that dogma, I asked Atty. Marwil Llasos, a Catholic defender, for verses that will qualify his belief, because my belief is, all things needed for salvation is written in the Bible, and to be Biblically true, it must be written.

 

Atty. Llasos did not give verses to support his claims instead he gave me counter-argument – “Where in the Bible can we read that everything is in the Bible?”, wherein according to him my premise is invalid.

 

Lest Atty. Llasos forgot that we are verifying here the truthfulness of RCC dogma and not everything or something else. And it wise to think that to be Biblically true, a doctrine must be written or can be read in the Bible itself and not from any self-claimed letter from apostles or self-proclaimed saints by Catholics church.

 

According to catholicm.about.com, Assumption of Mary was the bodily taking up of the Virgin Mary into Heaven at the end of her earthly life. It is also called the falling asleep of Mary.

 

Bodily taking up or entering body into heaven (Wikipedia)- Is it possible that body of flesh and flood can enter heaven? Let’s read:

 

1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

 

Just to sufficed the assumption belief, Atty. Llasos said that I did not understand or I know not the Catholic doctrine because the body mentioned in that dogma is a glorified body like of our Lord after his resurrection. Let hear some words from marypages.com, a catholic-page,

 

“Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s Assumption into heaven. Nevertheless, Revelation 12 speaks of a woman who is caught up in the battle between good and evil. Belief that Mary, without dying or shortly after death, has been taken up into Heaven with her body and her soul has been part of the teaching of the Catholic Church since the earliest centuries of Christianity. That early Christian believed in Mary’s Assumption is proven in the lack of her relics, empty tombs, the existence of Transitus Mariae stories, and quotes from early Christians.

 

Finally when she was 59 years old, Mary died A.D. 48. She had enough time to say goodbye to all the apostles before she died. The grieving apostles took her body to a tomb near the one that Jesus was laid in. They covered her with a white shroud and laid her to rest in the tomb. But Mary’s body didn’t stay there. Jesus came to her and took her body and soul into heaven to be with Him.”

 

The bibleprobe.com/transitusmariae.htm also posted this:

 

“The word Assumption comes from the Latin verb assumere, meaning “to take to oneself.” Our Lord, Jesus Christ took Mary home to himself where he is.

In the light of a long history of Christian belief since patristic times, in 1950, Pope Pius XII defined Mary’s Assumption into Heaven as a dogma of Roman Catholicism:

“the Immaculate Mother of God, the ever Virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heaven.”

 

(1)Whatever body (material or glorious) as Atty. Llasos claimed, the fact remains that  Scripture does not give an account of Mary’s Assumption into heaven – no wonder why Atty. Llasos is having hard time to give verses when asked because the assumption is no-where to be found in the Bible.  And yet, it is only 1950 when such belief was declared as dogma of the church.

(2) Due to lack of relics, empty tomb, existence of Transitus Mariae and quotes from early Christians – with these reason why Catholics believed such dogma is like an empty can because true Christians will not tell lies and make story that is not true.

 

Mat 19:18  He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

 

(3) “Jesus came to her and took her body and soul into heaven to be with Him” and Our Lord, Jesus Christ took Mary home to himself where he is”, are both direct contradiction of the Lord’s words in John 14:1-3.

Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

Joh 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
