Both papa and mama were born in very Catholic families, brought up as religious church people and they met in church.

Thus, I was born and brought up to be religious. Very religious. Yes, the ‘religious’ of going to church every Sunday, fellowships in people's homes every other day and participating in church activities. Mama made sure that I was active.

When mama died, I stopped going to church because as we grew up, my brother and I, papa became busier and busier and the less he went to church.

Nowadays, he only goes during Easter and Christmas and maybe when he is going for confession.
