Brave Filipino fighter Renerio Arizala     —   the young Pinoy boxer who underwent brain surgery after a very tough round six knockout loss in his non-title fight last March 31 in Yokohama, Japan   —   continues getting better and better day by day, a wonderful, blessed development that fills with hope and joy the hearts of his family, his friends and his fellow Filipinos, especially during these Holy Days of the Holy Week.

Renerio, a devout Christian, is already talking, moving his extremities and eating food on his own as prospects of Renerio continuing recuperating strength are awesomely good.

Today, veteran Filipino matchmaker and old man of boxing Art Monis of Hardstone Boxing posts on his Facebook page the touching photo of his smiley young compatriot Renerio Arizala looking in high spirits in his hospital bed in Japan, as the young boxer celebrates his 25th birthday.   

Art posted the pic with a moving message addressed to all of us in of the world’s boxing family, which is:

“Good is good all the time.    Renerio Arizala improves well, getting close to going back to his family in the Philippines.   Many thanks to everyone who prays for his recovery.   God bless us all “

Art’s message In Tagalog Language:    “God is good all the time.   Renerio Gemino Arizala mag pa galing pa ng mabuti malapit kanang makauwi ng Pilipinas at maka piling mo na rin ang iyong buong pamilya.    Maraming Salamat sa lahat na nag dasal tumulong sa mabilisan nyang recovery.  God bless us all.”

Thank you for that Art Monis. 

Yes indeed, God listens to prayers.   So let’s all pray and let’s all hope that young Filipino boxer Renerio Arizala continues improving his health, so that fast he will be back to normal at home reunited with his beloved family.   In Our Lord Jesus Name we Pray.
