December 12, we had our Little Kulit baptized in Catholic. I am Protestant but his dad is a Catholic.
He will be turning grade 1 this year and I have been scouting big school for him since last year my number one choice is Manresa. This school is already 45 years, actually kilala siya sa BF and here in South area, but the number one requirement is the child must be Catholic.
I am still trying my luck, I submitted the form and requirements last November and they accepted it naman and told us to wait for the result, the only problem is he is not Catholic that is why they cannot accept my son. I even told them I also came from Catholic school during my highschool and college days and we just need to sign a waiver that we will follow all the Catholic activities, and if I can do the same mag sign na lang. Unfortunately ayaw daw even my son have a good grades. If we can present daw a Catholic baptismal certificate before the year-end they can still accommodate us.
It’s a big decision for our family if pabibinyagan siya, we tried to weigh our options we can look for another school for him or he will stay in Montessori until grade 3. Since I heard a lot of good feedbacks in this school I want to try it, even my friend who is a teacher she recommend this school for us especially if we want our Little Kulit to learn simplicity and to be independent and to know God more. I am not denying that my son is number one spoiled, especially by his lolo and I am having a hard time to discipline him when it comes to tantrums.
We decided to have him baptized, but we need to guide him and explain it to him why he has two religions, but we all agreed that we will still follow and practiced being Protestant.
His baptismal is held at Our Lady of Guadalupe in Pagsanjan Laguna, it’s also their feast day
He is the biggest child na bininyagan that day
Thank you Lolo for your connections we were able to get schedule for Little Kulit baptsimal
With his tita ninang
For me I always believe no matter what is your religion, as long as we believe that there is one God and we must respect each beliefs and religious traditions there will be no problem. My son may have baptized twice but as early as know we are teaching him that there is God and he must be a good boy and follow good deeds.
We are in the same situation sis. I was born and raised at INC while Daryl was Catholic all along. It was really hard since we can’t get married in our church until mag convert sya. So sad.. anyway, I agree that as long as we respect each others’ belief naman, maayos ang lahat. sa ngayon di ko pa problem yang school since Jami just turned 2 pa lang.. malamang yan couple of years from now.
mahigpit ata ngayun mga catholic school sis,
Welcome to the Christian world, Little Kulit. God bless you! 🙂 thanks for sharing, mommy. 🙂
The church in Pagsanjan Laguna is stunning! I wish one of these days makalibot kame jan 🙂
🙂 nice siya mommy I grew in Pagsanjan
I’m not a Catholic but I was able to study in Catholic School without asking for my baptismal cert but I heard, good school nga yan. My husband is Catholic so my son was baptized in Catholic. I believe relationship to God is more important.
Hindi man lang siya pinayuko para buhusan, binuhat talaga?
🙂 baka kumawala sis
kami din sis before sa catholic school kami graduate without any hassle sa baptismal, waiver lang puwede na. This school is super strict
Taga South ka pala. 🙂 My niece goes to Manresa. If you’re looking for good Christian schools, Studio 360 in Alabang is one. It’s a progressive school based on the principles of homeschooling. My nephew transferred from Manresa to that one, but I know the owners.
yes mommyfrom South, he is in traditional school I don’t know if he will like to study in progressive. Will check studio 360 thanks for the info
Congratulations for being a Roman Catholic little boy. I agree Mommy no matter what our religion as long as we believe and serve one God, there is no problem with that.
The little Kulit is so gwapo! And I’ve heard nice feedbacks re manresa. Aside from Catholic values, they also give importance to sports to help their students be well rounded. Good luck to the little kulit’s schooling.
thanks mommy 🙂 yah yun nga sis pero still undecided now
Happy Christening Little Kulit!
It’s sad some schools adhere to a strict religion policy, but glad you were able to secure a last-minute binyag for your boy.

It’d great to know that you do not let religion dictate the family relation. Ika nga, “it’s not the religion that will save, it is our faith and how we live”.
🙂
Good thing you got a schedule before the year ends. Will look forward to your mommy chika on your son’s adventures in his new school. Thanks for sharing!
Ay wait. Bat ganun? Bakit may religious discrimination? Sigh. Hopefully your son does well in that school though!
oo nga eh, we tried parin pero i am still weighing my options if i will transfer him na agad
as much as i am for religion and everything, i think its unfair how some schools force you to convert just to be able to study there. its a form of discirmination.
yes that is the first thing come up in my mind, we give it a try but Little Kulit not aware of his religion. We still practice our religion pa din kasi
I agree with your last statement mommy. No matter what religion what is important is we believe in God and we respect each other.
yes yun nmana mahalaga kasi we have one God and respect
That is true, as long as respect is there I think there wouldn’t be any problems naman.
That’s a huge decision indeed. But he can always choose which one he wants when he grows up.
How strict a, but I guess it’s the school’s policy so you don’t have a choice but to follow. I totally agree, importante lang is we follow God.
I agree that no matter what is our religion as long as there is no conflict and chaos then there wouldn’t be a problem. We just need to respect each others belief! Happy christening Little Kulit!
I agree with you, it doesn’t what is your religion as long as you believe, respect one another. Thanks for sharing all wonderful photos. God bless you, little kulit.:)

Thank you 🙂
I admire you sis. Usually religion will be a problem for couple especially that you have two different religions. But you are one example that religion does not matter as long as both of you believe in God. God bless you Little Kulit 🙂
yes sis from the start pa lang I already told hubby na if ever we end up together I want to stay as protestant and hindi cya nagreklamo sabi nya religion does not matter what important is we believe God.
I loved it reading the part where you don’t judge base on religion. And yes, there is no religion that can save us but our faith instead. Welcome to the Christian World handsome baby boy! =)
Thank you Mommy, I always believe kasi we need to respect each people beliefs para walang gulo we are all entitled to our own opinion.
Congratulations! Gwapo Kulit! 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Time flies! Wow, mag gi-Grade 1 na sya, ang biliiis! Congratulations on his Christening. ♥
yes sis may grade one na ko this new school year
Agree with what you say. God bless your family and your future endeavors.
Ang cute talaga ng little kuliy mo mommy Anna, Yeah! Supper higpit na talaga ng ibang school ngayon daming requirements din noon di pa naman required ang baptismal certificates pero ngayon kaylangan na sa ibang school. Well, that’s life, God bless kay little kulet sa new school.
Welcome to the Christian World, little kulit!
I went to an exclusive Catholic school for girls but religion was never an issue naman with the nuns. The issue usually is when papasok ang bata, they ask that if the parents are not married or got married in civil ceremonies, they should get married sa church. I guess Catholic and Protestant are the same in most ceremonies naman?
When Mommy and I entered into a relationship, this is one of our issues, I was a member of Iglesia Ni Cristo while she was a Catholic. I need to give-up mine and go back to my previous religion.
Just like you said, no matter what religion you belong, the most important is you have a common GOD to praise.
true 🙂 like what they say it’s our faith that who can save us and not our religion
I think kaya strict ang Catholic schools with the religion (asking for baptismal certificate, etc) kasi may mga activities na hindi agree yung ibang parents from another religion. iniiwasan lang siguro nila yung conflict. but yes, regardless of what group/religion you have, respect lang dapat. our family is Catholic but nag INC si brother ko for his wife. I don’t care naman as long as we still treat each other with respect. 🙂
