Installation of the parish
Priest
On May 31, 2008 at the Feast of the
Visitation
,
Fr.
Gallardo
A.
“Butch”Bombase, Jr. O.P. was installed
as the Pastor of the Parish of Our Lady
of the Rosary of Manaoag by His
excellency Arch. Oscar V. Cruz, D.D.
during the “Misa de Gracia” of the
Parishioners of Manaoag . Fr. Quirico T.
Pedregosa, Jr. O.P. Prior Provincial of
the Dominican Province of the
Philippines with other Dominican
Priests from different convents, parish
leaders, parishioners and friends of the
new parish priest were present to
witness the ceremony. Fr. Pedregosa
delivered the homily centering on gift
of presence.
As Elizabeth ‘s son
recognized presence of Jesus in
Mary , the baby in her womb leaped
for joy , we should also recognize the
presence of God in every one. Our
presence is our gift. Recognize the gifts
in every person. We have something
that we can offer – ourselves, our
talents, our time.

Parish Pastoral Assembly
At the start of the parish administration of Fr. Gallardo A.
Bombase, Jr. , O.P. A Parish Pastoral Assembly was called for
the purpose of consultation, coordination, cooperation and
active, full and active participation of the parishioners.
Questions like the following were asked: What are the
positive and negative things about the Parish of Manaoag? , In
what way the Parish of Manaoag can best serve you? , What
are your dreams about the Parish of Manaoag? What are
your suggestions on how can the Parishioners become
cooperative and participative in parish activities? What do
you expect from the new parish priest? The following
questions would serve as an eye-opener and spring board for
brainstorming and later on planning , envisioning, and getting
the direction or roadmap. Group pictures are the different
organizations and BECs. The vision-mission statement,
priorities and plan of parish activities follow afterwards in the
“Without a vision, thePPC meetings.
people perish.” (Proverbs 29:18)

Parish Pastoral Council
Every 1st Sunday of the month the Parish Pastoral
Council held its monthly regular meeting. There
are the officers – Parish Priest as the President,
Parish Lay Coordinator, Assistant Parish Lay
Coordinator, Executive Secretary, Assistant
Executive Secretary, Treasurer, Assistant
Treasurer, Worship Chairman, Education
Chairman, Social Action Chairman, Temporality
Chairman and Youth Chairman. Presidents of
Parish Religious Organizations like Adoracion
Norturna Filipina, Apostleship of Prayer, Legion of
Mary, Confraternity of the Holy Rosary, Holy
Name Society, Mother Butlers’ Guild, Catholic
Women’s League. Presidents of Parish Religious
Movements like El Shaddai, Couples for Christ, St.
Cecilia Cursillo, Dominican Laity, Chairs of
Catechetical Ministry, Knights of the Altar, family
Life Apostolate, Extraordinary Ministers of Holy
Communion for Men and for Women, Word
Proclaimer, Area Coodinators of the 30 BEC Areas.
Representatives of the Local Government Unit and
School Representatives. Having no parish visionmission statement yet, no PPC constitution and by
laws yet, the PPC formulated one. In the first
meetings, the PPC planned to have a Parish
Pastoral Assembly last July 5, 2008 for the
purpose of consultation, analysis of the parish
situations, recommendations and for plan of
actions. Fr. Bombase, O.P. emphasized on the lay
empowerment and lay involvement in all the
parish activities. By means of formation,
dialogues, meetings, and decision makings.

Installation and Presentation of the Parish Pastoral Council
Officers and Members to the Parishioners
After the Constitution and By Laws of the PPC have formulated and approved, the new set of officers and
members of the PPC for 2008-2010 were presented by the Parish Priest during the Misa Pro Populo. Fr.
Bombase, O.P. in his homily admonished them about the role of the laity in the Church – to be the “light of the
world and the salt of the earth.” To promote the dignity, holiness and sense of responsibility of the lay faithful,
we should recognize them that they participate fully in the Church’s life and mission.

Formulating the Parish Vision – Mission Statement
As the outcome of the Parish Assembly,
the parish think-tank continued its follow
up meetings until the formulation of the
parish vision and mission statement has
been reached. Then, it was presented to
the parish pastoral council November
2008. They members of the parish
think-tank were glad enough to work on
the date line. The parish core values
and pastoral priorities of the Parish of
our Lady of the Rosary of Manaoag
were also approved.

Staff composed of the Parish Secretary, Parish Cashier, Parish Bookkeeper,
Parish Information Technology Officer, Janitor, 2 Cemetery Keepers, and
the 12 Catechists gathered together for their Christian on-going formation
and business meetings and up dates reports with the Parish Priest. Job
descriptions, job evaluations, and some information regarding their tasks
are discussed. Once a month during their birthdays a celebration is done.
Fr. Bombase, O.P. offered two important things on the workplace: 1.
healthy working environment (Cleanliness, Orderliness, Safe and Things
management); 2. harmonious relationship among co-workers (Respectful,
Responsible and Reliable and Righteous). Every month an employee is
given a topic to be discussed before the group. They reflect on the
Christian values of work as Catholic workers. Motivate them how?
(M - Mentoring provides continuity in the workplace.; O - Organize your
team ; T - trust is allowing room for mistakes and holding people
responsible to these mistakes; I -Involve others in decision-making ; V Value suggestions, recommendations, feedback ; A - Affirm and appreciate
your teammates contribution ; T Train people ; E - Evaluate performance.
As the Bible inspires us in
I Thessalonians 5: 11 “encourage one another and build-up one another.”
If we want a squeak-free company, let’s use the oil of motivation. Serving
God , serving with love and serving with joy in the vineyard of the Lord.

Pastoral Visitation of the Parish Priest
Every other year the Parish Priest visit all the 33 BEC
Areas of the Parish ( Matulong, Parian, Babasit East,
Babasit Pugaro, Babasit West, Bisal, Bucao,
Madriaga, Pantal, Lelemaan, Cabanbanan Centro,
Cabanbanan West Cabanbanan East, Borac,

San Ramon, Mermer, Lipit, Malicdem, Sta. Ines,
Calaocan, Sapang, Licsi, Poblacion, Pao, Baritao,
Oraan West, Oraan East, Pugaro, and Bliss Pugaro).
Last August –October of 2008, Fr. Bombase, O.P.
visited all the BEC Areas to have a consultations and
dialogues, asking them of what the Church can do
and what they can also do. To have a more easy
coordination and active participation of the people
living in the neighborhood by having BEC Zones and
strengthening the Block Rosary . He told them about
the Parish Polices on Baptism, Confirmations,
Weddings, Parish Office Hours, BEC Chapel Masses,
School Masses in the Barangays, Fiesta Masses,
Duties and Rights of a Catholic, Recrutiing a
Resident Extraordinary Eucharistic Minister and
Catechists, informing them about the Pastoral Plan
of the Parish- for activie participation in the parish.

Management or System Audit in the Parish
To set things on the proper and right roadmap, the Parish Priest and his Assistant Parish Priest decided to have a finance system audit
and manual under the expert. Mrs. Nilda Villegas Oledan. Such audit is not an operational one – not to investigate but only to have a
system to be followed. Here are the observations in the past, the parish is using the Cash Method of Accounting where all financial
transactions are treated as Cash Inflow and Expenses. All cash outlays, whether capital expenditures are treated as expenses at the
time the c ash is expended. The Bookkeeper handles the recording of transactions and safekeeping of Cash On Hand and Petty Cash
Fund, makes the bank deposits and handles the purchasing of parish goods (This is a strong violation of internal controls. The
Bookkeeper should not be Cashier at the same time.) The Parish Clerk receives Cash from all revenue sources of the Parish. No full
Cashiering person. Only the Bookkeeper has access to the vault and keeps the vault’s keys. The Parish does not use Books of Accounts,
rather, it uses a simple customized Accounting program catered to the Cash Method of Accounting. Cash deposits are done by the
Bookkeeper once a week. Monthly Bank Reconciliation on the parish Active Current accounts are not prepared. No written guidelines
on Official Cash Advances, Loans to Staff, Emergency Personal Cash Advances to Staff. The payroll function is handled by the
Bookkeeper. The Bookkeeper handles the purchasing function. In summary, there was no internal control and check and balance.
Recommendations are Accrual Method of Accounting is recommended. Office furniture and fixtures, office equipments shall be
capitalized as assets. All future capital expenditures shall be capitalized. A Parish Inventory of all its fixed assets. Bookkeeper should be
relieved of her cash handling functions – only recording. A full Cashier should be given to a staff other than the Bookkeeper. Cashier
receives cash, cash on hand, passbooks and certificates of time deposits and Parish Vault. Daily banking. The parish Secretary handles
the administrative duties like timekeeping, leaves and tardiness computation. Bookkeeper handles the payroll sheet preparation and
corresponding pay slips. Cashier handles the encashment of Cash for payroll purposes, Counting the cash and inserting cash to every
pay envelope based on the net amount of the pay slip of each staff.

Dominican Mission Month
The Parish celebrated the Dominican
Mission Month on
August. It was held inside the Church where
Awareness of the Dominican Mission was
done through Power point illustration of
what is the mission of the Dominican Order,
What are the Priorities of the Mission of the
Dominican Order, Presence of the
Dominicans – School, Media, Mission lands,
Parishes, Universities and Colleges and
around the world.

Radyo Dominiko Ng Manaoag – May

Regular Monthly School Masses in 15 Elementary Public
Schools and 3 National High Schools in Manaoag
“Feed my sheep”. This is a command of Jesus to his shepherd. As a
response fr. Butch told himself “Feed the children with the Eucharistic
Food” In June 2008, a official visit to all Public School Principal was done to
ask for permission to have a monthly mass in their schools. This is to make
the students encounter Christ and His presence through the celebration of
the Holy Eucharist. Bringing Christ and His Church to the School. This is also
one way to enhance the Catechetical Ministry in the school. Assisted by the
Catechist, the school officials and students are involved like doing the
reading. The BEC Areas which are near the schools are encouraged to
participate also. All the students from grade 3 till the grade 6 are given the

bagyo
During the typhoon Peping the
parish responded to the call to

Bombase called his Chinese friends
in Manila for immediate assistance.
Immediate response was given.
Once the road to Manila was
passable the relief of goods and
medicines arrived. The barangays
which were heavily flooded are
those near the river. The approach
in giving the relief is rather
personal. House to house method,
though it was a bit tiresome but
heart warming to see the real
situation.

poorest barangay in Manaoag feding
about 350 children. It was fun and heart
warming experience. This was made
possible through the goodness of God
through the generosity of his friends like
Mrs. ConnieTan and some benefactors.

Out-Reach Program to Students
Last December 2009 the
elementary students of
Oraan West received
bags of school supplies.
They were victims of the
flood of the typhoon
peping. From grade one
to grade six, there were
about 325 students who
were benefited from the
program. School supplies
were donated by Chinese
community headed by
Robert Quan and Connie
Tan.

Parish Recollection
Recollection is a parish
activity during Advent and
Lent. It is means of
preparation for the
parishioners to have a
deeper meaning of some
spiritual realities. It is an
encounter with oneself, with
one another and with God.
It usually held in the
Church. The participants
are from the different
parish organizations and
the Basic Ecclesial
Community Areas. It was
also being broadcasted over
Radyo Dominiko ng
Manaoag as live.

State Of the Parish Address
Parish awareness and participation
demands that parishioners are aware of
the parish and its up dates that they can
participate in the pastoral program of the
parish. Fr Bombase deemed it necessary
to adopt the SOPA every year before
going to Christmas party of the parish. It
is held in the Church. Then to the Pilgrim
Center. The things discussed are the
reports of the parish priest on what has
been done throughout the year, updates
and things which the parishioners can
participate. The Ministries, Parish
Organizations, the BEC and Parish Staff
are made to submit reports to the parish
priest on or before December 1. The
previous year the reports were nil but
needs to be followed up all the time.
Anyway they are not yet cooperative and
participative in terms of submitting
reports.

A million thanks for the support,
cooperation, generosity and
participation to make things
happen.

Thank You So Much
Something Good is Going To
Happen To Us Because Mama
Mary of Manaoag Loves us all.
