Bayanihan is one of those words that cannot be translated

stopped claiming private ownership of their possessions. Instead, they held
everything in common.The apostles with great power gave their
eyewitness reports of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Everyone was
surrounded by an extraordinary grace.Not a single person in the community was

brought the proceeds to the emissaries[ of the Lord. They then
distributed the funds to individuals according to their needs. Acts 432-35 (The Voice)
