Growing up CODA Part 3

Aliw Pablo: It’s been a few months now since I’ve met the David brothers, Brother Ronnie and Brother Rowel from our Growing up CODA Series.

Conflict of Beliefs

Felix: Me and my mom, we would have arguments, you know, like, whoa, why did you join this church and then my dad…He told me straight up to my face, like, I don’t want to join your religion, put that in your head. And you know that every time at the worship services, it’s always giving me signs of me, wanting them to invite them…that’s, that’s what I’m trying to do is just trying to be more positive.
