  • Lay woman, priest build houses for poor in Philippines’ remote village

    Elizabeth Eguia, a mother of two young children, would always have to run home to secure their few things or stay up at night each time it rained. But not anymore. Eguia, a cook at a parish then, needed a safe roof over her family. Thanks to “The Love the Poor House” project which is anchored on “For I am homeless, and you gave me home!” (Matthew 25), under which she got a new house built. The whole project was started by Father Joel Jag Pacquiao Agad, the parish priest at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, Piñan of the Diocese of Dipolog in Zamboanga del Norte province, southern Philippines.
