In this issue

Bringing good news, inspiration, and all things Lolo Kiko to you, our dear reader, has been a true joy, and this issue, being our “birthday,” put an extra-celebratory spring in our step. We have the Pope’s favorite films, and even clue you in on what his different facial expressions really mean! Noted personalities like Mike Enriquez, Rajo Laurel, and Chef Jessie Sincioco tell us all about how the values and virtues of Pope Francis inspire them, and we’re pretty sure you’ll agree!

Indeed, this issue is jam-packed with feel-good vibes, and it includes a special feature on another pope, our beloved Pope John Paul II who is now a saint! And perhaps the most surprising feature of all is the one on how the “bad guys” of the 501st Legion– Philippine Garrison actually have hearts of gold. It was a wonderful reminder that what may seem negative or worrisome at the start, might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all your support!
