MANILA, PhilippinesPracticing feng shui and similar rituals to attract good fortune in the new year might invite evil instead, a Catholic priest warned, adding that hard work, perseverance and prayer are the three key elements to achieve success and prosperity in 2015.

Fr. Michell Joe Zerrudo of the Diocese of Cubao said that obsessing about feng shui and other superstitions could open one to attacks of the devil. This Chinese practice and faith contradict each other, he added.

Feng shui is a traditional Chinese concept used to facilitate or harness the power of nature to bring harmony and balance in ones life and environment. Practitioners often cite the spatial arrangement, orientation and design of buildings and objects as crucial in attracting good energy and fortune.

If one makes use of sipag, tiyaga at dasal (hard work, perseverance and prayer), why would there be a need to harness the elements of nature through feng shui?, Zerrudo said in an interview with CBCP News, the official news service of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines.

Demonic spirits in nature

The parish priest of the Holy Family Church in Roxas District, Quezon City, also cited St. Pauls Letter to the Ephesians which spoke of the principalities of air and water to warn us of demonic spirits living in and influencing nature.

That is why harnessing the elements of nature to ones advantage means attempting to influence these principalities and the powers of air and water to work for our advantage, Zerrudo said, adding that feng shui and wearing lucky charms and amulets meant to attract luck could instead open one to attacks of the devil.

In a talk at the Arzobispado de Manila in Intramuros last year, Msgr. Jay Bandojo aired a similar warning against yoga, occult practices, astrology, horoscopes, transcendental meditation, cursing and other practices that he said allowed demons to have a claim over a person.

When you practice yoga, you are told to empty your mind while saying [the mantra] om, so you can feel relaxed. But when you empty yourself, youre opening yourself to possession. You have to be careful because demons might take advantage of (this) empty [vessel of your soul] and possess it, said Bandojo, who has special permission to perform exorcisms.

Home Headlines What is Coco Martins next dream project after Feng Shui 2? What is Coco Martins next dream project after Feng Shui 2?

1/02/2015 10:52 AM

The actor admitted that doing Feng Shui 2 felt like he was doing an indie movie again. Sabi ko nga yung experience ko habang ginagawa ko to parang gumagawa ako ulit ng indie movie kasi medyo mahirap kasi yung mga eksena namin. Actually yung location din namin napakaganda niya pero habang shino-shoot namin mahirap kasi nasa paligid kami ng isang lugar na puro tubig pero at the same time ang liit ng bangka na sinasakyan namin pero kailngan namin pagkasyahin yung motor na kunwari ginagamit ko.

Coco said that he truly enjoyed doing the horror movie. Ang sarap pala gumawa ng horror pero isa siya sa pinaka-challenging sa akin kasi hindi mo kailangan umiyak hindi mo kailang magalit, ang kailangan mo iba yung maipakita mo dito hindi pwede yung takut-takotan lang kailangan tumagos siya sa manonood.

Now that he has fulfilled his dream of doing a horror film, what is his next dream project? Ako honestly makagawa ng mga ginawa dati ni Chito Roo yung mga La Vida Rosa kasi para sa akin feeling ko lang kasi gustong-gusto ko yung mga makakatutuhanan yung mga totoong nangyayari. Siyempre ang pelikula iba yung pagkwento nito sa pag-gawa ng soap opera eh at siyempre iba rin yung pagkwento namin, pag gumagawa kami ng indie. Gusto ko yung ma-experience sabi ko nga nong napapanood ko noon yung pelikula ni direk Chito kahit hindi pa kami nagkatrabaho yon yung mga gusto ko kasi nakaka-relate ako at alam kong totoong nangyayari.

What is Coco Martins next dream project after Feng Shui 2?

MANILA - As Filipinos begin their preparations for the coming Chinese New Year, a feng shui expert revealed his predictions for the various animal zodiac signs and his advice on how to attract more luck.

In an interview with DZMM on Friday, popular Filipino Feng shui practitioner Dr. Anthony Fugoso said the Year of the Wooden Sheep, which will officially start on February 19, will be extremely lucky for those born in the Year of the Rat, the Dragon, and the Tiger.

He noted that all three signs are blessed with the "wealth star," which suggests a prosperous year in terms of money, and said that those born under the animal signs should look to start a business to take advantage of the several opportunities that will come this year.

Fugoso, however, warned of travelling often as this year will be a year of "metal-related" accidents. He added that, despite being a year of an animal known for its more docile nature, 2015 will be filled with heated arguments.

For the other animal signs, Fugoso singled out the Rabbit. He predicted that while those born under the animal sign will experience less luck compared to last year, he said that Rabbits will still be "lucky" as it shares a "harmonious" relationship with the Sheep.

He also explained that those born in the Year of the Snake will need to travel more and spend time with their family in order to attract more luck, while those born under the Year of the Monkey will only prosper on the business side of things.

Fugoso went on to warn those born in the Year of the Horse of their health, and said that they will need to be extra careful when it comes to driving on the road.

He also said that those born in the Year of the Dog will need to refrain from engaging in extramarital affairs, and added that this will be a great year to stay loyal and spend more time with their family as it will also attract more luck.

For those born in the Year of the Rooster and the Ox, Fugoso said that these two animal signs will experience "bad luck" compared to the other animal signs.

Being a natural enemy of the Sheep, those born Ox will need to be avoid dangerous activities such as hiking. Roosters, on the other hand, was warned to stay away from hospitals and cemeteries so as not to worsen their luck.

Maja Salvador and Gerald Anderson had to ride a motorcycle just to make it to the airport to catch their flight bound for Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Salvador and Anderson were among the several Kapamilya stars who got stuck in the horrible traffic on Tuesday evening after an isolated thunderstorm flooded the streets of the metro. Along with other ASAP mainstays, Salvador and Anderson are set to participate in the ASAP Live in L.A. show to be held in California this weekend. In a video, the two can be seen wearing helmets as they weave through the traffic.
