Bless Our Cops Quirino: God’s Game Plan


 “So, What’s the game plan?”

Funny, that question pops up every time the CORPS Movement is about to start an activity. From BOC vision castings like the one we had in Quirino, MBK openings, even to mere prayer meetings; every activity seems to be extemporaneous and reactive: quite indifferent for a military/police Christian organization who caters to a people group who are regimented and rigid.

The members of the CORPS could argue that they have been doing these things over and over again that they are quite attuned to the “game plan” and  have started to adlib alike a classically trained actor who dead-bored mimics Romeo and Juliet act per act. But in reality, and in all honesty, what the members of the CORPS Movement have learned from all activities they have time and again set is that “God is Control” and you only need to trust His will and follow what 
He’s impressing on what is needed to be done in a particular time- that’s the game plan.

In Aglipay, Quirino; the game plan was executed, once again seamlessly.


PSSUPT Ma.O Aplasca again heeded God’s will and served as a bridge to open all police stations in the Province of Quirino to the Gospel. Alike what he did in Zamboanga, Cagayan, and Apayao, Col. Aplasca, as Cagayan Province Police Director, used his network tap to his fellow Provincial Directors. This time it was PSSUPT Delfin S. Millo. He also rallied of pastors and ministers who would volunteer for the Bless Our Cops, this includes longtime ministry partner Ptr. Danny Punay from Bread of Life and Atty. Rownie Biangan of the Quirino Ministerial Fellowship. He gathered them all last May 20, 2011 at the Quirino Police Provincial Station in Aglipay for a vision casting exercise.


He also taught policemen of the PNP’s ITP program, his holistic approach in policing (see related article last March) and the value of having the church as a strategic partner in the transformation program of the Philippine National Police.


PSUPT Dionicio “Borro” Borromeo who was invited by Col. Aplasca to join the team did not waste time and readily gave his testimony (see article When Borro Meet God) to the police and pastors of Quirino so that all my hear God’s mercy and grace.

Ptr. Danny Punay together with Bro. Neil Piaco, who both weekly braves the Dalton Pass just to minister to policemen in Region 2 from Manila, assembled the pastors of the province. They only responded to the strong desire of local churches of the province to pray for and be acquainted with their local police.


The Quirino Ministerial Fellowship, under the leadership of Atty Baingan of the Church of God World Missions, Ptr. Levy Baldonado of the Assemblies of God, and Quirino Board Member Jojo Vaquilar of Victory Christian Fellowship answered to God’s heeding and meet with the respective Station Commanders of their church locale during the vision casting seminar.

Other pastors who joined the concerted effort were Alexander Dimamling, Reynaldo Juanio, Samuel Bognadon, Diosdado Estacio Sr., Rolando Tavares, Rene Honorio, Ben Awingan, Ferdinand Magno, Federico Calibuag, and Villy Amboron.


Bro Boi Manuel and Jojo Dellosa, who just finished with a similar vision casting in Cagayan De Oro City (see related article), saw God’s bountiful harvest ahead and did not missed the chance to journey Col. Aplasca and Ptr. Danny Punay.


Bro. Dan Afuang of the Jesus Offers Salvation, Hope and Unity to the Armed Services (JOSHUA) ministry of the Greenhill Christian Fellowship also heeded God’s call not only by assisting the group but also introducing the team to his industrialist friend Joven Banez who sheltered and sponsored the group during the whole trip.

Mr. Banez, out of kindness, invited the team to visit his tilapia and poultry farm in Ramon, Isabela and served the group a dinner of freshly harvested tilapia.


When the event was completed and everyone has done their part, the team did not saw their efforts but only saw God’s hands in fulfilling his gameplan.
