Bringing Restoration in All Parts of Life: Aleth’s Faithfulness in the Philippines
Haggai Leader Aleth Joyce Cubacub had already built a respected career in the Philippines as both a lawyer and a public accountant when she began to sense that her profession could do more than resolve legal problems. She believed it could also open doors to restoration. Her city moved quickly. Legal cases filled hallways, courtrooms were crowded, and spiritual conversations were often rare in a place where many had grown weary of religion. Yet she carried a conviction that even in busy public spaces, the Gospel still had room to work.
This conviction deepened after her Haggai Leader Experience. Through Haggai’s internationally developed and facilitated curriculum, she unlocked a vision of how her legal expertise could contribute to systemic change. She saw how intentional acts of bold faith could transform lives when leaders step forward with purpose and creativity. The experience moved her to pursue opportunities she once assumed were outside the scope of her profession.
As a managing partner of Cubacub Hernandez and Associates, she often spent long periods outside cramped courtrooms with her clients. What could have been idle time became moments for quiet ministry. She chose to speak with them about hope, forgiveness, and the presence of Christ in times of legal hardship. Within her firm, she encouraged midday Bible studies for employees and fellow attorneys. These gatherings helped create a culture of Scripture and prayer that steadied the demanding pace of litigation.
Her desire to equip others continued to grow. She helped establish a nonprofit organization focused on training leaders to guide others through the Gospel. Every other Saturday at 9:30 A.M., she led a virtual Bible study that brought people together from across the Philippines. Each session centered on the truth she demonstrated in her work. Restoration begins with the Word of God.
Some of her most significant works emerged through a partnership with Prison Fellowship International Philippines. Together, they expanded the Prisoner’s Journey Program, a curriculum accredited by the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology. The program addresses growing concerns in jail management and offers behavioral, academic, and spiritual support to Persons Deprived of Liberty. Through short videos on the Gospel of Mark and simple reflection booklets, prisoners found a place to rediscover dignity and hope.
During a graduation ceremony at the Mandaluyong City Jail Female Dormitory, Aleth addressed 77 women who had completed the program. She presented the Gospel and invited a response. Every woman accepted Christ as Lord and Savior. In that moment, she realized she was witnessing the type of restoration Jesus described when He spoke of caring for the least of his brothers and sisters. It reshaped her understanding of her legal calling. These were not case files or statistics. They were people longing to be seen and spiritually renewed.
From there, she and her law partner, who is also a Haggai Leader, prepared to support the program’s expansion to the male dormitory, which houses more than 700 participants. They funded needed supplies, planned ministry opportunities for prisoners’ children, and involved other Haggai leaders to provide one-on-one virtual sessions.
Aleth also understood that restoration is not limited to institutions. She reached out to her nephews, who had distanced themselves from faith after painful church experiences. Through patient conversations and consistent presence, they found their way back to Christ. Their return reminded her that one faithful leader can help restore the most unexpected places.
Through every effort, Aleth lived out what the Haggai Leader Experience instills in each graduate. Restoration is both personal and societal. It moves through classrooms, courtrooms, prisons, and families. It flows through leaders who understand that the Gospel’s reach is wide enough to renew entire communities.
