SALAMAT]</strong></div><div><br/></div><p>In observance of Holy Week, let&#x27;s look back on some of the celebrities&#x27; favorite life quotes and Bible verses that have guided them through their most challenging times.  </p><p>These were shared with ABS-CBN broadcaster Karen Davila on her vlogs.  </p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Julia Montes </strong><em></em><br/><em>Philippians 4:13</em></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block" width="655"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775091787036Julia_BV.JPG" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="655"/><span class="fr-inner">Actress Julia Montes. <em>Screen grab: YouTube/Karen Davila</em></span></span></span></div><div><br/></div><p>&quot;&#x27;I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.&#x27; Philippians 4:13. &#x27;Yun lang po talaga. Kumbaga lagi ko pong sinasabi MMK ang buhay ko. Pero because of that verse at dahil sa dasal, faith &#x27;yun ang talagang nagpatibay sa akin. Parang every time na may nangyayari sa akin imbes na nakikita ko siya na negative o dadamdamin ko, mas nakikita ko siya na nini-redirect ako ni Lord kasi alam ko na mayroon siyang mas better plan. Kaya rin ako ganito ngayon -- happy.&quot;</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>Donny Pangilinan</strong><em></em><br/><em>Isaiah 41:10</em></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block" width="655"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775091835603Donny_BV.JPG" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="655"/><span class="fr-inner"><em>Screen grab: YouTube/Karen Davila</em></span></span></span></div><p>&quot;It&#x27;s Isaiah 41:10. &#x27;Fear not for I am with you; be not be dismayed, for I am your God.

And God has just been showing up so loudly in my life lately and I&#x27;m so grateful to be able to boast how good He is and has been. </p><p>Talagang I can say like a 100% confidence that God is a good God who hears and He sees like all the prayers that I was sayng in quiet places that no one ever knew about, or years ago that I was crying and breaking down and pleading Him and asking Him for things. Like He is so good and how He comes through and I just feel that He has like never forgotten those things that I&#x27;ve whispered to Him in dark places. Like He is always been there and He&#x27;s just so incredible in my life.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Lara Quigaman</strong><em></em><br/><em>Romans 8:32</em></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block" width="655"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775092694385Lara_VB.JPG" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="655"/><span class="fr-inner">Actress Lara Quigaman. <em>Screen grab: YouTube/Karen Davila</em></span></span></span></div><p>&quot;Romans 8:32. He who gave for us. &#x27;He who did not spare His son but game Him up for us free. How He will not also graciously give us all things.&#x27; I love you it kasi first line pa lang hindi ba? &#x27;He who did not spare His son,&#x27; He gave us Jesus that&#x27;s enough. </p><p>Then ang susunod doon &#x27;How He will not also graciously give us all things.&#x27; Parang ibinigay niya sa iyo si Jesus lahat, everything else that&#x27;s happening around you He can also provide for you not just materially but that peace that you are longing for, the happiness that  you are longing for. Kasi the ultimate gift was already given, the others are just parang small  gifts na lang &#x27;yon. Kasi we already got the greatest gift and that&#x27;s Jesus.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>Rufa Mae Quinto</strong><em></em><br/><em>1 John 1:5</em></div><div><em><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:655px;display:block" width="655"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775093788660Rufa_BV.JPG" style="width:655px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="655"/><span class="fr-inner">Actress-comedienne Rufa Mae Quinto.
