Santino and Bro
If you are a Filipino, chances are you know Santino and Bro. And you may be a fan of the teleserye May Bukas Pa. Everywhere you look these days, you’d see evidences of how popular this child actor (Zaijian Jaranilla) is and the teleserye featuring him. When my sisters and I went to the mall the other day, we saw these gift items with Santino labels. Dolls, Bible stories, pens and papers, and even slippers!
Kids recognize Santino a mile away. Hazel is a big fan of the teleserye and we let her watch it because there is really a moral lesson to every episode shown. I was wondering why priests were promoting the teleserye before. Now I know why. We’ve been following the series for a couple of weeks now and I must say that it’s good for everyone.
There’s hope, inspiration… and a strong message to always trust in what the Lord plans for us. Keep the faith, in other words.
And guess what? People are now calling Jesus “Bro” and I like it! It has a more intimate-relationship-with-Jesus feel to it, don’t you think?
Happy Sunday to all!
