True Love Waits is not only for those who are singles or members of NBSB and NGSB. It is also for individuals committed in a boy/girlfriend relationship who are both pursuing a life of purity in their lives, just like me.
It’s a great joy that God allowed me to be with someone whom I see as His precious gift. Nowadays, most young people are in a craze to get into a b/gf relationships simply because its the fad. Not knowing that it doesn’t only go with the attraction towards the other but building a commitment that will last. This is what many are missing!
God has changed my view towards relationship. “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God-this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is-his goo, pleasing and perfect will.”
Commitment is to pledge yourself to a certain purpose. It also means practicing your views consistently. Some skip this kapag nasa relationship na kasi at times hassle, not yet ready, so to dismiss commitment becomes more problematic. It gives false hope and wrong perspective where relationship should take place.
I’ve learned that commitment is built in Christ who gives the desire to pursue purity in Him. Recently, Pauline and I made a covenant to God to keep ourselves pure inside-out until we get married and to be crazy in love with Him. We believe it is His purest intention for us and to those who are currently in a relationship. We are both reminded that our relationship is anchored to a supernatural being who knows how to manage our life best.
Add to that, we just celebrated our anniversary last October. (”,)

January 7, 2009 Wednesday at 1:35 pm
Hi Kent,
I challenge you to go beyond worshipping God not only on Sundays, great sermon or cool music. But for you to live what you have learned from God. Through then, we can experience authentic Christianity not how the Filipino church does it but how God wants it.

Ride on Rhei,
But for those who have committed mistakes in the past there is a great life awaits them if they will turn and embrace the LIFE Jesus wants them to have.
Compassion and love to others must be considered.
Franco
January 7, 2009 Wednesday at 1:55 pm
Hi Geraldine,
Challenge you to live out what you have learned sa camp. Use it in your personal life, church and school perhaps.
The same with you Ruby, hehe, I believe that God will use you more than ever before!
Wrap our lives to the One who knows how to manage it.
January 10, 2009 Saturday at 3:59 pm
…hi kuya!
..leia po, from PNU.thanks for sharing the wisdom that God gave to you..
your such a wonderful blessing sa mga tao na hindi mai define what is the true meaning of love…
..hmMmm…siguro po tama talaga kayo…
…..si God lang ang nakakaalam…
and that is not love…”infatuation nag lang”…siguro po nakasanayan ko lang talaga for almost 10 years..hehe..
new year.new life!!God is a just and loveng God, I know that He will give what I deserve tama po ba!:>

January 28, 2009 Wednesday at 12:45 pm
Hi Lei and Joy,
Thanks for your kind words!
Live the life God has called you in. No turning back!
Franco
February 1, 2009 Sunday at 2:37 pm
tama po yun..
it is also very important to know th reason why you love that person…
kasi if you are already in the point na mageenter na kayo ng commitment..it is not right that you are just loving him or her without any good reason.. don’t say na
..kasi gusto ko sya…
what if it changed??
pano na?
kea we ust evaluate ourselves first before we enter into a commitment..
February 9, 2009 Monday at 5:21 pm
I was just reading your blog/entry and comments to you and i was actually blessed.
im a nbsb and its not a problem to me though but the pressure of friends and youth i see around is near to influence me but i thank God He always drag me out of that. I also have a problem when it comes to infatuation and love, 2 words misused by many young people including me. I want to learn and understand their differences. thats why im looking forward to attend the conference this feb 21 by God’s favor and grace. I know i will learn a lot more than what i know before and now. Shalom!
February 18, 2009 Wednesday at 7:03 pm
..kuia im angelica from bataan..ur soo galing knina..nptwa mu kame hah!pero my natutunan din nMAn kming lessons..andame kuya..keep up the goodwork..and slamat ule..goodluck!godbless you all..

I really wanted to be a part of this “True love waits”,.
I’m a NBSB- No Boyfriend since Birth- girl (hehe!)
True, it’s hard, but I really trust God, that there will be a right time, right place and right MAN.
God bleSs you, guys.Your group is a blessing for others, especially youth.
February 23, 2009 Monday at 7:17 am
hi po….
im glaiza from BCS( bataan christian school)
thanks po…
i really learn alot..
nag enjoy po kmi!!!!
THANKS ALOT!!!
February 23, 2009 Monday at 10:06 am
kuya tnx po sa pag punta sa fellowship ha
February 25, 2009 Wednesday at 9:06 am
yep.True love really waits in God’s time..Virginity is our offer to God,for girls and specially for us guys too.Because He created us to live holy and pleasing to Him.Our body is meant to glorify God,to give praise and thanks giving.. not gratifying it’s sinful desire(remember that we live in spiritual world-keep praying guys..Our spirit is willing but the body is weak!!!
“Seek Ye first the Kingdom of God-All this things will be added to you!”including lovelife and true love!(This is my prayer as young guy and servant of Jesus Christ.,…=)..Godbless us all..and keep pure until His coming..
March 6, 2009 Friday at 9:47 pm

Truly i’m blessed for knowing people like you! to everyone in TLW thank you for serving as an instrument to teens like me. thank you for strengthening our convictions! i promise to TAKE A STAND, I KNOW WHAT I OUGHT TO HAVE!;) g0 keep love real!;) apir!

June 1, 2009 Monday at 11:05 am
Hi Sinag Youth,
Kung may boy/girlfriend ka ngayon, handa ka na bang magpakasal? Kung hindi pa, maaring hindi ito ang time para magkaroon ka ng relasyon kundi mas atupagin ang mga priorities sa iyong buhay.

Hello Kuya Franco,
July 17, 2009 Friday at 9:30 pm
Hello Kuya Franco,
i was one of the students that listened to you earlier in SAINT THERESA’S COLLEGE CEBU. The whole high school department was so blessed to have a speaker like you. We learned a lot from your speakers and to you as well. Now we realize the importance of God before making our decisions.
i personally would like to join the seminar this coming september 19 in waterfront to extend my knowledge to the scenarios that might happen in my life.
July 18, 2009 Saturday at 6:19 pm

…..it’s worthy to wait…. d naman siguro na you will truly said na you will not enter into a relationship…but we have to be sure in the first place “it’s nice na yong first is the last”…
—sooner or later we will meet our true love God has prepared-and it is the best story ever i do believe—

Hi, Kuya Franko. I’m a student from Sacred Heart School - Hijas de Jesus in Cebu, Philippines. I was one lucky student who was able to receive your book. I treasure it dearly, and I would want to be a participant or a helper, to spread the word that True Love Waits. How do I do that?
September 29, 2009 Tuesday at 3:03 pm

God bless this website! I’m glad that God touched some passionate people to put up this site and inspire a lot of singles today. I for one am still single but then I praise God for restoring me despite my unfaithfulness to Him, and I believe He is preparing me for my bright future, may I be married or not.
She’s very sweet and caring 
Btw, she’s our batchmate in ICA (We actually had our interview on the same date). 
Sir Franco, I just realized that you’re related to Ms. Pau. I was surprised when I saw your pic here, and again saw you in her profile pic in Facebook. Anyways, always take care of her
October 27, 2009 Tuesday at 1:59 pm
Thanks Faith!
We are just sold out for God and his plan for purity. We hope we can minister also to ICA’s students sometime.
Pauline is my fiance. Thanking God for His grace and love.
Btw, what church do you go to?
October 27, 2009 Tuesday at 2:52 pm
Yeah maybe sometime you can go to ICA. Coool.
My church is Church of Jesus Christ the Firm Foundation here in Las Piñas City.
I read your Wall, and you proposed to Ms Pau just yesterday? Ooooh my, that’s sweet! Congrats to both of you~!
November 30, 2009 Monday at 7:56 pm
Its not just waiting, but waiting while honoring God. Yes you wait, but are you waiting for that thing and only that thing? think carefully.
Yes you can wait, but you already doing it in your mind. God does not only focus in a physical perception of sex, purity comes not only with
physical cleansed, but with heart and mind. As we go through in a Christian way of relationship we should guard our heart form lustful and wordly
thing not even a hint.
January 13, 2010 Wednesday at 8:33 pm
Hi po!!! My classmate and friend Rona Lobaton attended the youth camp last December…
Ang galing ninyo daw po maging Speaker!!
Hope that I can listen to you…
May program po ba kayo sa DZAS?
Godbless po and more power…
True Love Waits!!! Keep on rockin’!
January 14, 2010 Thursday at 12:58 pm
Hi Hannah!
Glory to God over that thing
I am just invited to be their radio guests sa family matters but no regular program sa DZAS.
Pagpray natin, hehe
February 10, 2010 Wednesday at 11:30 am
i was super blessed hearing your message last night at Word of Hope. i’ve been bothered and thinking of myself, being single and asking God when will be the right time for me to have one for months now. but hearing your message last night enlightened me. i know now what to do. i just hope that i could attend more of your talks.:) thanks for the message.
Goodluck to you and your fiance:)
February 10, 2010 Wednesday at 1:51 pm
hi…i have read your story in kerygma february issue…
im super fascinated by the story…im a yfc member since year 2000, and we are one in TLW.
continue sharing God’s Love…
God Bless poh…
February 11, 2010 Thursday at 10:59 am

February 18, 2010 Thursday at 9:44 am
good day! kuya Franco!
i’m Mhei, one of the youth of Pagibig Baptist Church, taytay. Wish ko po sana kaw na po maging speaker namin sa TLW sa Feb 20 (sat.) wala pa po kasi speaker kaya parang hndi na sure kung tuloy.
sana makavisit ka ulit sa church namin.
sa kabila ng busy scheds & appointments mo. hehe!
i pray to God na magkaroon ka na ng break, i mean magkaroon ka na ng sarili mong radio program, to extend the blessings of our Lord Jesus through his word, to share the wisdom God has given you, para lalo ka pa nya gamitin sa ministry
(para lalo ka pa maging busy) hehe! joke!
kasi yan ang gift mo! to God be the Glory!
more power!
God bless you and your day as well!
February 26, 2010 Friday at 8:09 pm
you guys are great. thanks for coming in our school, which is Holy Spirit Academy of Malolos. and hearing those inspirational messages coming from the 5 of you. Its a gift from God. Thanks again. Godbless.
February 27, 2010 Saturday at 5:12 pm
Hello po Kuya Franco and friends:D we’re some of the 3rdyr students from Holy Spirit Academy of Malolos:D we learned so many things from your talk.
Mark said, “Akala ko ok na pag MU lang pero un pala para lang kayong nagtataguan at naglalaro kasi kung true love nga yun handa kang magbigay ng commitment. And also narealize ko po mula sa inyo na true love really waits. Pero sana po maipagdasal na maghintay ako para sa mayroon kaysa sa wala.” Abigail said, “Hindi pala dapat mainis dun sa gustong tao ng gusto mo. Narealize ko po na hindi pa pala ko in love dun sa taong yun. And this org. helped me figure it out.” I [Aira] personally think that no matter how much we love one person today we still have to wait for the right time so that it’ll be the most wonderful thing in our life. And that we should always take precautions in any relationship we step into. Lastly, Anthony asks a question, “Kung true love waits de kaya mong maghintay para sa kanya. E kung siya mismo naghihintay din, pano kayo magkikita kung parehas kayong naghihintay? Tska po pano po ba mawala ang katorpehan? BTW, madami po kong natutunan tulad na lang na ang katorpehan ay parang advantage.”
Thanks for all your wise words! Hope to see you seen this new school year. Fourth year na po kami. Thanks again and GOD BLESS ALWAYS! GOOD LUCK :D:D:D:D
We love you :*
PS: Good luck po sa marriage niyo ni Phaw [tama po ba spelling?hehe]. May you have a prosperous and fruitful life together
Pasensya po napahaba:D Ingat!!!
March 2, 2010 Tuesday at 10:05 am
Hi Miyazaki,
We had a sweet time in your campus last Friday. We are hoping we can come back and do tlw workshops with you guys and even the other levels. Its like an in depth study what Love, relationships, sex and life is about. More than being inspired, may it transpire in you inside-out that God alone can satisfy all of your emptiness in heart.
Franco.
March 2, 2010 Tuesday at 10:45 am
Hey Mark, Abigail, Aira and Anthony,
We super appreciate your reflections what you have learned during our visit in your school. We had a sweet and great time with you all. We are looking forward to hear from you. Btw, you may want to check UHUB- student col tambayan near Puregold and Bulacan State U. Its a place where you can hang-out with other students. Just look for our Roanne Gonzalez, TLW Coordinator in Bulacan.
Franco

Thanks again, Kuya. we’ll be sure to drop by soon. it’s nice to meet new people and make new friends. Thanks po ulit. Hope to see TLW soon.
March 7, 2010 Sunday at 1:34 pm
Hi kuya Franco. I’m from HSAM as well. in fact friends jko po si Mark, Abi, Aira, and Anthony. I just wanted to say how much Mag-drop by ult kau soo. We’re looking forward to it.
I learned na ang love pala talaga is everywhere. You don’t have to give your life to find love kasi you always have it. And there is always the right time para ibigay natin yung sarili natin ng buong buo sa taong alam natin binuo tayo.
Thank you so much for making us realize that. Goodluck sa patuloy na pagtouch sa buhay at puso ng iba pang tao tulad namin. Godbless you all
PS: I hope you and ate Phaw will have an amazing life together
Stay happy always 
March 7, 2010 Sunday at 1:36 pm

Purity is really important and your testimony is a big encouragement to us:)…there is one thing that I hope you guys also reach our beloved young people, that this team of True Love Waits will also go to the Barangays (Out of School Youth) so they can also know the value of purity nowadays sex is also rampant in squatter areas:( but i think they don’t have a budget for this kind of seminar..continue to be a blessing as you share your life testimony to others..
