one of the things that i enjoy doing is listening to relasyon by luchi cruz-valdez and mel sta. maria of 92.3 news fm. yes, it is an AM station found in FM frequency. i love how they answer questions and discuss problems of their listeners. practical teaching, that is how i call it. mel sta. maria, as a family lawyer, answers questions in such a way that lay people can comprehend. he gives his insights and helps people in distress. luchi, on the other hand, uses her wide-experience as a journalist to ask questions that normal people asks. on a personal perspective, she's one of the best when it comes with asking questions. she sees to it that her questions have no direct and obvious answers.
========================sideline================
i remember this question from a reporter of GMA 7 asking the sister of Tyron Perez few hours before his burial. the reporter asks,
"ano pong nararamdaman nyo na malapit na pong ilibing ang inyong kapatid na si Tyron?". if that reporter tried to ask that same question to me
(in the same situation), he'll get what he deserves.
========================sideline================
anyhow, going back to "Relasyon". luchi's and mel's values are also intact. i love both of them. they start and end their program with a simple prayer. and throughout the course of their program, they see to it that they present morally fit options. if you're a frequent listener, normal questions are >>
a. Gusto ko lang pong magtanong kung valid ang kasal namin? Kasi po gusto ko nang
makipag-hiwalay sa kanya.
b. Paano po mang-hihingi ng sustento sa
dati kong asawa?
being true to the title of their program, they ask questions like
"di na ba pedeng ma-workan ang inyong relasyon?",
"nakapag-marriage counselling na ba kayo?", etc. bottom line is that they see to it that having annulment and nullity of marriage - which are totally different from each other -
SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE LAST OPTION.
personally, i see that some people use technicalities as grounds for nullifying their marriage. what a piece crap? they're looking for legal loopholes because they no longer like the person you've slept with for quite sometime. i felt so bad every time i hear these types of questions.
being part of the
neo-catechumenal way (a path to re-discovery of baptism and catholic church's response to a lot of different and new things) helped me to discern and
(in as much as i can) uplift the importance of having a family. luckily, filipinos have luchi and mel to explain things, give honest answers and provide better ethical options.
you can check relasyon weekdays - 12.15 pm @ 92.3 news fm...
