A Day of Connection and Community: Comglasco’s trip to Kanlungan ni Maria

Comglasco Aguila Glass believes that as we go through life, we are surrounded by many people who have played an important role in shaping our lives. Among these individuals are our elders, those who are older than us and have lived through experiences that we can only imagine. While it can be easy to take our elders for granted or overlook their needs, it is essential that we show them love and respect, and care for them in their later years for they have lived long lives, and have accumulated a wealth of knowledge and experience. They have often sacrificed for their families and communities, and they deserve to be treated with the utmost respect and dignity. As we age, we face many challenges that can make life difficult. For those who are poor, abandoned, neglected, homeless, or sick, the challenges can be even greater. Fortunately, there are organizations like Kanlungan ni Maria – Diocese of Antipolo that provide hope and help to those who need it most. Kanlungan ni Maria is a home for the aged located at #92 Mangga Drive, Nayong Silangan Subdivision, Antipolo City, Philippines 1870. The organization was founded to provide a safe and caring environment for elderly people who were living in poverty or were abandoned by their families. Since then, Kanlungan ni Maria has become a beacon of hope for the elderly in need. The home provides a range of services for its residents, including meals, medical care, and recreational activities, and the staff members are dedicated to ensuring that the elderly residents receive the love and care they need to live fulfilling lives; working tirelessly to create a welcoming and nurturing environment that feels like a true home. Many of the residents have no family members who are able or willing to care for them, and they have nowhere else to turn. That is why at Kanlungan ni Maria, they find a family and a sense of belonging that they may have thought was lost forever. The home’s commitment to its residents is evident in the care that is provided by which the staff members take the time to get to know each resident on a personal level, learning their stories and backgrounds, and tailoring their care to meet their individual needs. They work closely with medical professionals to ensure that each resident receives the medical attention they require while also providing social and recreational activities that promote physical and mental health. Kanlungan ni Maria is not just a place where the elderly can live out their final years; it is a place where they can thrive and it is a remarkable organization that provides a vital service to the elderly in need. The home’s commitment to providing love, care, and a sense of belonging to its residents is truly inspiring and the staff members and volunteers are a testament to the power of compassion and dedication. For about two years, back in the days of the pandemic, Kanlungan ni Maria was not allowed to welcome visitors as a precautionary measure against the spread of COVID-19. But now that the rules implemented during the pandemic have been lifted and pretty much everything is back to normal, the Comglasco Aguila Glass team recently brought joy and blessings to the residents of Kanlungan ni Maria by visiting them for the first time in two years. The visit began with a wonderful welcome song sung by the elders of Kanlungan ni Maria and the lyrics of the song conveyed the residents’ excitement and gratitude for finally having visitors after such a long time. As a blessing, the Comglasco Aguila Glass team brought food and groceries for the residents of Kanlungan ni Maria and prepared some special performances to entertain the residents. However, the team did not expect that instead of them putting smiles on the faces of the elders, it was the elders who welcomed them and did some of their performances. In the end, Kanlungan ni Maria was very thankful for the blessings the Comglasco Aguila Glass team provided. The visit was not just about providing material goods but also about building relationships and fostering a sense of community. Both the Comglasco Aguila Glass team and Kanlungan ni Maria took pictures of everyone as a remembrance of this unforgettable moment. The visit ended with a beautiful thank-you song presented by the elders of Kanlungan ni Maria. The visit by the Comglasco Aguila Glass team was a reminder of the importance of connection and compassion, especially in times of hardship. The pandemic has challenged people’s ability to connect with others, but it has also highlighted the resilience and strength of communities. Through their visit, the Comglasco Aguila Glass team brought joy and blessings to Kanlungan ni Maria, and they also received a great gift in return – the gift of connection and shared humanity.

What you need to know about windshield

Windshields are mostly known for their important role as part of a vehicle that protects the passengers from the elements outside such as flying debris like dust, insects, smoke, and so on that could distract or harm the occupants inside the automobile. After all, people enjoy the wind breezing through their faces while driving but not when there is a high volume of smoke coming from other vehicles; and that is where windshields come in handy. Aside from the windshield’s general use, Comglasco Aguila Glass will share a few things that car enthusiasts will love to know, as they will provide some information related to the windshield that is worth knowing. Here are a few things that Comglasco Aguila Glass wants you to know about the Windshield. Are car windshields made to be bulletproof? Why are car windshields tilted? Is it safe to get your car windshield repaired instead of replaced for small cracks? Are car windshields made to be bulletproof? Some car owners may have wondered if windshields can be made bulletproof, in which the answer to this can be just a simple yes and no, but before answering the question, it is best to know first the reason behind its design. Car glasses are either tempered or laminated; both types have a certain strength that will withstand a certain degree of impact. But naturally, glass is a brittle material that will likely break when stress is applied. Still, there are a few exceptions between the two; laminated glass is a type of safety glass because of the properties that they have which make them sturdier than typical glass which is why they are ideal for use as windshields. However, cracks can still occur on the laminated glass so it will need to be repaired or replaced when the damage is irreparable, while tempered glass is also considered safety glass as it is difficult to break but what makes it different from laminated glass, is it disintegrates into grainy small pieces that are “butil-butil” in appearance when an event of breakage happens. Based on the information that is mentioned, a windshield may be a laminated or tempered type, both can withstand a certain degree of impact but are not capable of withstanding a bullet to be considered bullet-proof glass. There may be cases that a car glass has resisted a bullet that it came into contact with, but no matter how strong it is, there is no guarantee that it can resist all since there will always be a bullet powerful enough to shatter a glass. Though there is bulletproof glass which is used mostly in windows of buildings where it is a requirement due to security reasons, like banks, jewelry stores, embassies, military, private vehicles, and such, however, this bulletproof glass is still not completely impenetrable as a bullet can still puncture through if not break the glass. So, going back to the question if windshields can be made bulletproof, then the answer is no, a windshield can never be bulletproof. Why are car windshields tilted? Aerodynamic drag is a condition in which the force of air opposes the direction of an object that is in relative motion at a certain velocity. Hence, the car’s windshield is tilted to help the vehicle cut through the wind efficiently, because a vertical windshield which is seen on some trucks and mostly jeepneys that is a flat surface in design will greatly reduce the speed of a moving vehicle; which in turn requiring the vehicle’s engine to exert more energy. Windshields are designed to be tilted not only to allow air to flow smoothly and lessen wind resistance but also to be more fuel efficient and have a better chance of small rock debris glancing off the surface rather than hitting the glass surface directly. Is it safe to get your car windshield repaired instead of replaced for small cracks? Whether it happened by chance or an accident, a damaged windshield is still an upsetting situation even if it is just a small crack. When this happens, the first thing that comes to mind is whether it should be repaired or replaced. Whatever the size of the crack on the glass, it is best to have it replaced rather than opting to repair the damage. The reason for this is that there can be cracks that are not visible to notice by the auto glass technician; leaving the invisible cracks untreated that have the potential to become a bigger problem in the future. So, it is advisable to replace a windshield even if the damage is just a minor one because a new windshield gives the assurance that the glass is free from unwanted scratches or stains. Knowing these things about the windshield is important because the more you know about it, the better you understand why it is specifically designed in that manner and how to take good care of your windshield. And whenever your windshield gets damaged and needed assistance, just visit the nearest Comglasco Aguila Glass shop at your place because they will always welcome you and are ready to help.  Windshield cleaning tutorial – Learn more on how to take care of your windshield   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMGLiOAlelE
