this mineral water bottle is filled with coins, particularly P1, P.25 coins. i save up all my coins, put it here for donation to the pondo ng pinoy project of the archdiocese of manila, headed by cardinal rosales. he was inspired by one of the gospel readings where a smart samaritan woman asks for graces from Jesus. and as Jesus tells her that food is reserved for those at the dining table, not the dogs, she counters that even dogs eat from the crumbs that fall off the table. brilliant remark, isnt it? even Jesus was amazed!
cardinal rosales was inspired by this: he is asking for 'crumbs' from our tables. those that we will eventually just 'throw away'. he was actually referring to the "P.25 and even P.10 coins that have hardly any value nowadays. but if put together, it would still mean a lot.
so in our parish, we are encouraged to save these coins for donation to the project. these are virtual crumbs anyway.
i include the P1 coins only because they get so heavy in the pockets. it took me three months to fill this up. and i just gave it this morning.
you guys might have some crumbs to spare? :)

My officemate and I did the Pondo ng Pinoy piggy bank in our office last year. :-)
hey, God bless such a soul like y CC. I, with my choir, also have a empty liter bottle of 0.25 phil peso coin which is yet to be filled. I'm happy that every once in a while, my children-choir do their share. :)
thanks, ming meows! cute handle!
good for you, vince! God bless your heart!
thanks, josh... malaki-laki ang liter bottle. matatagalan talaga! but i wish you the best to fill it up!

thanks, dats!!! ill expect it! =)
I would give it directly to a blind man...
count me out on this...
here are some reasons why:
they preach about forgiveness and acceptance but they condemn homosexuality...
they say give something, then why cant they give some of their lands to less fortunate ones???
they say stop giving money to beggars, dont they know how these loose coins means a lot to a hungry family of 12???
no worries, yajnat! i understand completely where you are coming from! hugs!
I think one of those paintings hanging in Rome could feed a whole town for at least a year. But then, why give them fish? Teach them how to fish instead.
