The Cypress Tree

I think I shall never see a tree as special as this one. Remember this tree? For the many students of PBC this is the tree that stood by and watched you grow. It is found in one corner fronting the Gregorio-Sameon Building.

This cypress tree, for me, has sentimental value. It is a silent witness to the numerous challenges that PBC went through. Many of us remember how this tree watched over the students while they sauntered about after classes. It was sometimes a lover's nook, providing the romantic ambiance for the young people in love. For some it was a place of meditation - where prayers were uttered. It was made as a make shift tree house by the children who frequented the grounds. Now it is a parking lot. Some have attempted to cut the tree because it "does not belong" in the landscape. But we think, it just needs trimming and nourishing to make it stand out or at the very least, a part of the landscape. Much like the preachers that PBC produced. All that is needed would be the trimming and the caring.

On to the lighter side...

I got the following from The Christian Chronicle . I just posted those I think would be nearer to the heart of the Filipino Christian. (ACT)

WARNING: What you are about to read is an attempt at humor. If you think faith can’t be funny, please stop reading now and divert your attention to the more serious topics on our Web site. If you think faith can be funny, but you determine after reading this that I am not, please take comfort in knowing that my wife and children agree with you.

YOU MIGHT BE A MEMBER IF ...

With apologies to Jeff Foxworthy of “Redneck” joke fame, you might be a member of the church of Christ …

• If you know exactly what song I’m talking about when I ask you to turn to number 728b.

• If you could recite all the books of the Bible before you could even read them.

• If you know the first and third verse of nearly every song.

• If you think “progressive” refers to those in the church who want a sound system and PowerPoint.

• If you can actually read shape notes.

• If you think your chosen pew is “sacred” and no one else should sit in your spot.

• If you think the Bible questions on Jeopardy are way too easy.

• If you decide which Bible translation to use based on how Acts 2:38 reads.

• If you immediately reach for your wallet when you hear the phrase, “Now, separate and apart from the Lord’s Supper … ”

• If you know all the words to all the verses of Trust and Obey.

• If, when you’re happy and you know it, you clap your hands, stomp your feet and say “Amen!”

• If you’ve ever carried your Bible in an empty casserole dish.

• If you’ve ever prayed for those “who are sick of this congregation.”

• If you’ve been to a wedding or a funeral where “the invitation” was offered.

• If you’ve stood for 13 verses of Just As I Am with the last stanza sung softly.

PBCAA alarmed at preacher shortage

Bro. Arnold Zambrano, gestures as he presented a report on the state of full time preachers in the country during the PBCAA Homecoming.

BAGUIO CITY - April 1, 2006 - The Philippine Bible College Alumni Association, Incorporated (PBCAA) is alarmed at the state of the Churches of Christ in the Philippines by citing the shortage of qualified preachers during its Alumni Homecoming activities held at 18 Rimando Rd., Baguio City.

According to Arnold Zambrano, a graduate of PBC, there are only 36 full time preachers in the Philippines today. In a report he presented at the homecoming, there are about 610 congregations around the archipelago with an average membership of forty. By rough estimates, there are only 24,400 saints in the country or a ratio of 1:3,442 (one christian in every 3,442 Filipinos).

Since its establishment in 1948, PBC in Baguio City has been the premiere preaching school in the Philippines producing quality preachers until it experienced sponsorship difficulties. Sadly, only a few of the more than 500 graduates have pursued a preaching career.To address the shortage, the PBCAA has lent its support to the Philippine Bible College by committing to assist in the operations of the Bible school through mobilizing its graduates to generate resources for the needs of the students.

The top priority of the association is the granting of scholarhips to three deserving students. Also they have agreed to help generate needed resources for the needs of the school. A list was provided by Bro. Cristino Sacayanan, President of PBC.

Bro. Zambrano was tasked by the PBCAA Officers to present the report.

A Short History of PBC

The Philippine Bible College (PBC) was first established as the “Bible Department” of the Luna Colleges in Tayug, Pangasinan in July 1948 under the sponsorship of the Southwest Church of Christ in Los Angeles, California, USA. Teaching the Bible in the Luna Colleges classrooms and in the community resulted in the conversion of people which formed the nucleus of the new congregation.

A chapel was built for the church at Plaridel St., Tayug, Pangasinan, and in February 1950, the Bible Department moved into it. Another change of location happened in July 1952 when faculty members and students came up to Baguio City. Classes were held in a rented concrete edifice along Mabini St., while housing were at the New Lucban Extension then at Zarate Building near Burnham Park.

Lots along Rimando Road were soon bought and in 1958 a four storey edifice started to rise which is now known as the Sharon Lodge. By the mid-1960s, a massive three storey building rose up which was named Sameon-Gregorio in honor of two former students.

Through the portals of this campus passed scores of individuals who are now preachers serving the Philippine brotherhood.
