Anyone on the west coast hear it? Pretty strong signal here in the ROK,

Don't they habla Espanol in the Phillipines?

Become a Catholic and Receive a 'Christian' Name.

Want to Get Married in the Church :
What's Your 'Christian' Name ?

Want to Own Land :
What's Your 'Christian' Name ?

Want an Education and Move-Up in Society :
Send Your Children To A Catholic School :
So that they can Learn Spanish and Receive
