10. The Second Plenary Council of the Philippines (PCP II)
Challenges every Filipino Catholic to really live up to the
commitment of becoming Church of the Poor. That the
poor be evangelized and later become evangelizers too in
the process. It even concretely suggested that the Diocese
must set aside fund specifically for the poor and the needy
(PCP II, art. 25, #3).
11. The call to share out treasure, time and talent is very
relevant as we find new methods and expressions to bring
glad tidings to the poor, whom Jesus has a special gaze.
We therefore wish to make a real a dream articulated
eighteen years age called Kaibigan ng Social Action ng
Lipa (KASALI).

14. KASALI is a resource mobilization strategy brought about
by the need to strengthen LASAC’s programs and services
for the poor as identified by the results of the strategic
planning session led by the LASAC Director with his staff.
15. It is very poignant reminder that the problems we faced two
decades ago are the same problems confronting us now.
We haven’t done enough, when we could do something to
alleviate the plight of our poor brethren!
16. Now more than ever, KASALI seeks to sustain the
operations of LASAC as it expands its service and
embraces more people coming to it seeking help, comfort
and any assistance that we can offer.
17. Time has ripened the fruits of labor started 18 years ago by
the previous directors and staff of LASAC. We are now at a
crossroad, and we are once again being asked to make a
DIFFERENCE.
18. More than just a fund-raising strategy, KASALI seeks to
engage you, your family and friends in living out the Gospel
values of what Jesus has told us: “Whatever you do to
the least of my brethren, you do it for me…”
(Matthew 25:40)
19. KASALI’s aim is not to have a one time big time
giving, but a consistent manageable giving. As His
Eminence Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales puts it in Aral
Batangenyo, “Kahit maliit, basta malimit, ito ay
papuntang langit!”
