Dear Sr. Georgette,

Kinasingkasing kami nga nagpasalamat sa imong tabang sa paghuman sa among kapilya, kay ang Ginoo kabalo gyud sa among mga kinahanglan ug ikaw ang iyang gihimong instrumento sa pagpaambit kanamo sa iyang grsya. Nagpasalamat usab kami ug daku sa imong pagbisita sa among dapit taliwala sa kalisod sa among dalan apan naa gihapon ang imong pagpakabana ug pagmahal kanamo.

Tungod ni ini among nasinati ang presensiya ni Mo. Candida nga sa iyang giingon: "Moadto ko sa pinaksulok nga parti sa kalibutan aron sa pagpangita sa mga katawhan."

Hinaut unta nga kining imong pagbisita kanamo dili kini katapusan kondi mao lang ang sinugdanan, kay sa tanang panahon kanunay abri ang pultahan sa among kinabuhi sa pagdawat kanimo ug kinsa pang "Hijas de Jesus" kay kamo ang naghatag sa paglaum ug kadasig sa pag-ila ug pagduot, ug pagserbisyo sa Ginoo ug pagtabang sa among isigkaingon nga nagkinahanglan.

Salamat gid and God bless!

Dear Sr. Georgette,
Maayong adlaw!

          Sa among nadungog nga balita sa nahitabo nga kalamidad sa Iloilo, kami nasubo ug natandog ang among kasing-kasing sa maong nahitabo.
          Sa padayon namon nga pag ampo, among napamalandungan ug nabati ang tawag sa Ginoo sa pagpaabot sa among kinasingkasing nga tabang gawas sa among pag-ampo.
          Gani, among nasabutan sa grupo kung unsay among mapaabot nga tabang sa mga nabiktima sa maong kalamidad. Ug kami nagkauyon sa pagpaambit sa gasa nga gihatag sa Ginoo gikan sa among “savings” sa grupo nga nagkantidad sa P3,000.00.
          Mao kini ang among talagsaon nga pagcelebrar sa fiesta ni Mo. Candida sa karong tuigs. Sama kaniya nga kanunay nagatan-aw sa mga nagakinahanglan.
         Happy Feast Day sa tanan nga Hijas de Jesus!

Dear Sr. Gette,
I am very thankful for the financial help that the whole
 Hijas de Jesus family had extended to me and to my family
 when we were badly hit by typhoon Frank. I never wished to
 be a victim just to be a recipient of this big amount but
my family is deeply touched by your gesture to help us and
 to make us sustainable for some months after the calamity.
 This is a clear manifestation of Mo. Candida's virtue
 of filiation-fraternity. In behalf of my family, I thank
 you for all these.

Dear Hijas de Jesus of CHJ Iloilo City,

Typhoon Frank which severely hit Iloilo and other provinces in Panay Island last June 21, 2008 brought not only vast calamity but also immeasurable goodness of God. Immediately after that tragic calamity, God manifested his great love by touching people's heart to organize and generate support for the typhoon victims.
It is in this context that my heart is indeed touched by the kindness of all people who in one way or the other have helped the flood victims particularly my wife, Elsie and my kids. Because during that fateful day I was in Tarlac, where I am assigned. I am thankful to the CHJ sisters as well as the CHJ PTA Inc who initiated such praiseworthy action. I am also thankful for the financial aid extended to us by the Hijas de Jesus Provincial office. All your financial, spiritual, and emotional supports have surely made our difficulties easy to bear.
May the generosity and love you've shown will return to you a hundredfold.

In behalf of my family, from my heart, THANK YOU and GOD SPEED!

Roland Palomar

im heartily thanking you for continuously living the lifestyle of mother candida!
Two thumbs up for you!

To all the Sisters,


Greetings of Peace and thanksgiving!
With joy we express to all of you our most profound and sincere 
gratitude for your gestures of love, concern and generosity to the
victims of the flash flood in Maasin, Iloilo especially to the families of
our Sisters, teachers and students. We are saddened by their 
situation as the consequence of the devastation but your oneness 
with us in prayers and expression of sympathy, monetary and 
material aids had greatly alleviated their suffering and anguish.
Thank you very much, Sisters, and may the Lord of goodness repay
your generosity and fraternal attention.


Gratefully yours,
Sr. Florencia Constantino, F.I.

Dear Sr. Georgette,
The F.I.L.E of Stella Maris Academy of Davao had beautiful memories of their visits to Iloilo particularly Guimaras, Maasin, Pototan and Iloilo City. The gestures of love, kindness and hospitality truly marked the charism imbued to us by Blessed Candida. The FILE representatives who had experienced that encounter expressed their joy and gratitude for the great time they spent with the co-FILE members. After such an experience, we were, however, shocked and dismayed over the calamity which had beset the beautiful towns, schools and homes we had seen and where we enjoyed the company of the Sisters and teachers. We know that the pain of loss of loved ones and of destroyed properties which they felt could not easily be forgotten.

It is with our deepest sympathy and sadness that we remember all of you, the Sisters, the teachers and their loved ones. We sincerely pray that our loving God will bless you always with a renewed hope
and strength to bear these trials and to move on towards rehabilitation and normalcy.

With our love...

F.I.L.E. and LMVP
Davao City

Dear Sr. Georgette, F.I.,

The Stella Maris Academy of Davao Educative community (the sisters, faculty, staff and students) is one in prayers for the healing and recovery of all the victims and casualties of typhoon Frank especially to our sister schools in Iloilo. The calamity has reminded every Marisian to be thankful to God for one's life. As a response, the Marisians have raised funds to be able to help and also solicited old(but usable) school uniforms which the students in Pototan and Maasin can use. In this small way, we are able to extend a hand to
our brothers and sisters, which Mother Candida has always taught us. We continue to pray that in time all will be well for our brothers and sisters in Iloilo.
