ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
Personally, I think he should have been more careful with his words. Whether or not he is against same sex marriage, he should have thought about his words before he actually said them.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
I do not think he is making sense because in no way should humans be compared to animals. Humans are very clearly superior to animals. In Matthew 6:26, Jesus says that we are much more valuable than the birds in thy sky thus proving that we are much more significant than all the animals in the earth.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I would not vote for him because I do not think he is capable of being one of our country’s leaders. I believe that he has only been elected due to the fact that he is a very famous boxer. Also, I would not want someone who thinks that animals are better than humans to lead our country.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
If the church states that homosexual acts are wrong then I will respect that. However, I do not think that they should resent the homosexuals. This is because we are all still children of God and we are called to love one another.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I respect what the Bible says; however, none of us can tell who will enter the kingdom of Heaven and who will not. Only God has a say in that. Also, I believe that we are not necessarily judged by who we are but what we do.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
DeleteOne reason is the desire for lust. Nowadays, people constantly seek sexual pleasure through the means of pornography. Another reason is because of the manipulation and misinterpretation of human sexuality. Most people may not be aware of the fact that human sexuality is not just about sex. They may not know that it is a God given gift and must be kept sacred. Another reason pornography is a reality is because it is an awkward topic to talk about within the family. Most teenagers are not properly educated on human sexuality thus leading them to resort to pornography.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
One cause may be to “entertain” people. They might think that by doing this, they are pleasing other people. Another reason may be that they want to share their experiences. Although it should be kept sacred and intimate, these people share about it and brag about it on the internet.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
I believe watching porn is sinful because it destroys the sacredness of human sexuality. I also believe that it is wrong to watch other people during intercourse and using this to pleasure yourself. We can solve the problem of pornography by properly educating people about it. They should be teaching it while people are still young in order for it to stay in their minds. You should not watch porn for the same reasons stated above. It is disrespecting the sacredness of human sexuality.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
One reason could be because they are struggling financially. They may think that this is their last resort because they can not get a decent job. Another reason is because they can no longer control their sexual desires. When they can no longer control it, they resort to extreme means. Another reason is because these people are forced to do prostitution against their will. This is evident through sex trafficking.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, prostitution should not be legal in our country. This is because people should respect their bodies and should not sell them for money or sex. Also, since some of the prostitutions are caused by sex trafficking, it will help prevent the increasing rate of sex and human trafficking.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
-I believe that Congressman Manny Pacquiao was merely stating his opinion to a question that was asked to him. Although I don't support his view, I believe that the LGBT community also overreacted. He could have not offended the LGBT community but since he referred to them as something lower than animals, it sparked a controversy. My only hope is that equality to all people will be achieved and no offending views will be forced upon anyone.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
-Yes and no, because of the way he said his opinion. Everyone is titled to their own opinions, but don't think that other people who don't have the same opinion as you will automatically be lower. He referred to the bible and how homosexuality is "wrong," but views have changed and if that is his own opinion, he should not have said it out loud.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
-I would still vote for him. I don't support his comment on same-sex marriage, but I believe that his view has been with him ever since he was a child. It doesn't change the fact that he's a good leader, and aside from that, there are thousands of other congressmen and congresswomen who support same-sex marriage, so why does one person's opinion matter against a million others?
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
-Just let people do what they want to do. We were given the gift of freedom, so why not use it. My reaction is that, if people are straight, then it's fine with me. If people are gay, lesbian, etc. then it's also fine with me. What makes me think that I can force my opinions on another person's life? Care about your own life, not others.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
-There are homosexuals who are much more holy then straight mean and women. We can't judge them just because of their titles. They have as much right as we do. Everyone is a child of God, and no human being has the right to say otherwise.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Delete-Pornography is something that people use as entertainment, a source of money, or just pleasure. A lot of people don't have enough money to support themselves, so they result to pornography. There are also quite a numerous amount of people who use this as a source of their pleasure because they can not contain themselves.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
-They are proud or they can not contain themselves. They lack self-control, and become foolish in different times.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
-Yes, sex is something that should be treated with respect. It has more meaning to what we see on the Internet and social media in our world today. It is a special bond between two beings that allows them to express their unending love. We should not use someone's private actions as a source of our entertainment. We should put laws and rules regarding pornography and teach the younger generations about the problems in it. I should never watch it because it is something private and sacred.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-They want pleasure, money and they want to make others feel the satisfaction they feel. They want pleasure because they don't have enough self-control to save themselves until they find the right person to love. Those who can not support themselves result to prostitution just to put food on the table. They also want others to feel the pleasure they feel.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
-No, because it is immorally wrong and our country is already over-populated. Sex is such a sacred and beautiful thing, yet some people treat it like it's nothing. It should be saved until they find the right person. Prostitution can also lead to pregnancy in women, which is bad. If they result to prostitution, chances are that they can't support themselves. If they can't support themselves, what more a baby?

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and if that is his opinion then it should be respected. However the way he delivered it was offending to the LGBT community and very disrespectful. I think if he were to make a public announcement about his opinion that concerns sensitive topics. However a longer cut of the video shows that Manny Pacquiao is not condemning the LGBT and is just saying that gay marriage is against christian beliefs.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- I think that what he said did not make sense because science shows that there are animals that show homosexual behavior.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- Based on what he said and how he handled the situation and what he said he wouldnt be getting my vote because he wouldve handled this in a more professional matter by beung sensible about what he says on TV.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- Like my answer in the first question i think that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that we should learn to respect that. But I think that the church should not think lowly of the LGBT community because after all we are still children of God and we are all made in his image.
ReplyDelete5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- i disagree completely. If we listen to the lyrics of sirena by glock 9 "dahil kung minsan mas lalaki pa sa lalaki ang bakla" we could also relate this to religion. A gay person could be way more active in church than a straight person because just because you're gay that doesnt mean you cant go to church.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- 1. People use this for pleasure 2. People cannot be patient enough to wait for the right time to engage in sexual acts 3. People are scared to talk about this in the family and so when they have questions related to sexuality they result to the internet.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- I think people do this to either get revenge on their partner or to show off. Another reason is to earn money from it.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- I think it is sinful because it is a selfish act of self pleasure and abuses the gifts that God has given us.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- The biggest reason is that i think its because they are financially struggling and need more money to support their families. Sometimes people are forced to do it and they would be scared because they could receive threats. These people are sold as slaves to other people. And another reason is maybe because they could not control their lust and just need to do it.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- i think it shouldnt because it disrespects women everywhere. We can not objectify them because they are still people. Another is because it goes against God's word of having only one partner to be with your entire life.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- We must respect each and everyone's opinion but Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao's comments on anti same-sex marriage is offensive and can hurt other people's feelings. Some people should be more sensitive when it comes to topics like this.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- He did not make sense, the fact that he compared to human's sexuality to animal's sexuality did not make sense at all. God created us in his image and likeness, making us more superior than animals.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- If he is against same-sex marriage, then i am against him, not personally though but i will not vote for him. I believe that everyone has the right to marry someone who they love.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- Just like what I said earlier, we must respect each and everyone's opinion. Although I disagree because homosexuals have the same rights as a heterosexual.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- I disagree because no one but God can tell who is righteous or unrighteous to inherit the kingdom of God
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Lust, Misinterpretation of Sexual Intercourse, and people make money out of it.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- People who upload their sex video scandals are attention seekers, theyre so desperate for everyone to make a commotion about them.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- I think its sinful because it gives people the wrong idea about sex. To solve the problem of pornography, we must start with ourselves since the main reason why people watch porn is their desire for lust, so contain your hormones. You shouldn't watch porn since it gives people the wrong idea about sex.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- Money, people don't have money so they'd do anything just to earn money. Another is underemployment, they can't find any other decent jobs so they resort to prostitution. Lastly, they do it for fun because they can't contain their hormones.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- It shouldn't be legalized since it is somewhat disrespecting God's gift to us. We must treat our bodies with respect. Additionally, prostitution doesn't even help solve any of our country's problems so what is the point of having it legalized. Prostitution also contributes to overpopulation and poverty.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- I believe that Manny Pacquiao shouldn't have said those words about the homosexuals because they were offensive and might have given other people the wrong impression of Christians and of God.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- I do not think that Manny Pacquiao is making sense in the video because humans and animals are nothing alike and shouldn't be compared to one another for God created humans in his image and likeness and as the most superior beings on earth.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- I wouldn't vote for Manny Pacquiao because I wouldn't want to vote for a person who doesn't support equality amongst everyone.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- I believe that this comment is wrong about homosexuals. They are people who deserve equal rights as much as any heterosexual. God never makes mistakes therefore, the church shouldn't be calling God's creations as "disordered" or "unapproved.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- No, I do not believe that homosexuals cannot enter heaven. Not everything that the bible says is still practiced up to this day. In the bible, it says that we cannot eat meat however, in the present time we do. Also, I believe that everyone has a right to be children of God but it is only He who can decide on who can enter heaven or not.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- The three main reasons why pornography is a reality are for pleasure, for education about human sexuality and for entaertainment.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- The causes of why people upload their video scandals are either for money or to brag about their sexual life.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- Watching porn is sinful because it wrong in the eyes of God. Porn destroys the sacredness of human sexuality. One can solve the problem of pornography by praying to God for guidance. Personally, I believe watching porn is wrong because sexuality is something that should be sacred and not done for other people's entertainment.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- The three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies are for money, for pleasure or for when they like they are lost in life.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- I believe prostitution should not be legalized in our country because it is a sin to have sex and doing it is against God. Human sexuality is a sacred gift given by God. Therefore, we shouldn't misuse it.

1. The moment he started uttering his opinions, I was already filled with absolute disgust. His first words, “common sense lang”, already shows how rude and disrespectful he was towards same-sex couples. Who in the right mind would dare compare human beings to animals? Yes, animals may also be considered as creations of God, but it’s impractical to produce such a comparison because humans are clearly different from animals. Moreover, where is his proof that there are no homosexual animals? It is throughly observed that studies have shown the occurrence of homosexual behaviour in over 1,500 animal species. Basically, I think that he should have expressed his opinions in a more civil manner. I do believe that everyone has the right to speak their views and opinions, but the feelings of others must also be considered. Courtesy is what Pacquiao needs to work on before his next interview that may once again lead him to revealing his judgments.
2. At first, he was certainly making sense because it is a fact that same-sex marriage is not fully supported by the Catholic Church. However, his views started to become imbecilic and relentless afterwards. It’s his point of comparison between humans and animals that do not make any sense due to the fact that what he was trying to make sense of ended up causing severe inaccuracy and impertinence.
3. Obviously, I will not vote for Pacquiao. First of all, the fact that he was not sensitive enough with the words that he said in his recent interview proves that he is undeserving to serve the people of our country. As a proud member of the LGBT community, why would I vote for someone who thinks that I am “mas masahol pa sa hayop”? It is also known that he lacks commitment in his position as a governor through his absences in meetings and the like. As a governor, he only attended the Congress FOUR TIMES, so what more if he becomes a senator? If he plans on running for a government position, he should show every citizen of the Philippines that he is worthy of being a senator through his dedication and good morals; and through my observations as of the moment, I thus conclude that he is not yet ready to be involved with the senate.
4. As a member of the Catholic community, I absolutely respect the teachings of the Church. I was raised to obey whatever has been taught by the Church and live by those teachings. However, we are all not the same when it comes to our views and opinions. I do believe that it is too undemocratic for the members of the LGBT community to be called “intrinsically disordered”. Being a homosexual is clearly a choice, and definitely not a disorder. Our sexuality is part of who we are as a person; and if I choose to be gay, it is who I am and nobody can change it. The Church, the Law, and every single person surrounding me does not own my humanity - it is my birthright. Therefore, homosexuals and the rest of the LGBT community deserve the same amount of respect that people give to the straights. We are all equal in the eyes of God - and in His eyes, no sexuality is considered to be a disorder.
5. Only God knows who will enter the gates of His home, and no living human being has the right to judge if a certain person is going to enter Heaven or not. I believe that there are countless of homosexuals out there who are more virtuous compared to many from the straight community. Pope Francis one stated, “If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?” We should just simply continue to do good acts and respect one another because I am drawn to the thought that the act of simply being a civilised citizen of your community is a step towards unlocking the doors of Heaven.
6. 1. Pleasure
Delete2. Lustful desires
3. Attention
7. I believe that people upload their sex video scandals for attention and ultimate desperation. In addition, I also believe that people upload sex video scandals of OTHER people in order to gain money or for revenge.
8. Yes, I believe that it is true for porn to be sinful. First, it promotes LUST; and we all know that producing a lustful attitude is against the Word of God. Second, pornography actually victimises the people involved in the video, photo, etc. because it would seem like as if these individuals are being treated as objects; thus downgrading their worth in our society. The problem of pornography can be solved by living a chaste life free from any sexual desire. We should instead pray to the Lord and ask him to guide us away from the path of obscenity and immorality. As children of God, we should not watch porn videos because this is an act of lust and unchastity.
9. First cause would be because of desperation for money. Similar to what has occurred in the historical novel of Victor Hugo, “Les Misérables”, the dreadful character of Fantine ended up selling her body just to earn money for the living of her daughter. Second, people resort to prostitution because of lack of democracy. Most prostitutes would be blackmailed or forced into committing such acts that they end up having no sort of power to defend themselves. Lastly, prostitution is still being practiced due to the fact that people cannot control their sexual cravings. These individuals lack chastity, self-control, and respect to their own bodies and the bodies of others.
10. Prostitution should definitely not be legalised in our country because it victimises, disrespects, and shames the worth and bodies of many innocent people. The Philippines is known to be the home of many Catholics and Christians, and it’s nonsensical for anyone to think that prostitution is okay. God gave us our bodies in order to conserve, not for us to sell to desperate people who have nothing to do with their lives but live up to their uncontrolled sexual desires.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- The words he spoke just made me feel a mix of disgust, anger, and sadness. We must respect other people opinions on both sides. But Manny shouldn't have said the things he said, by saying that same-sex couples and those in the LGBT community shouldn't have the same rights as hetero couples, it just seem so wrong and unfair. They are people as well, we mustn't use a silly comparison. Animals are much better because they can tell from male and female? Did you know that animals have homosexual tendencies as well? In my opinion, he had every right to say what he said that day. But, people have every right to get angry towards him.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- At first he made sense as we all know the church does not fully accept same-sex marriage. But then he started talking about how animals are better than people who are part of the LGBT community, that just absolutely made no sense. Animals have homosexual tendencies, and we humans are much more than animals. How was that a good comparison?
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- No, I would not. Why would I vote for someone who thinks LGBT people shouldn't have the same rights as us and compare them to animals. I would like to vote for someone who believes in equality or at least shows respect to them.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- We have to show respect. But we shouldn't ignore that those of the LGBT community because they have every right to love who they love because they have the same rights as any hetero person has. God doesn't make mistake.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to1 Corinthians 6:9"Or do you not know that the unrighteouswill not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- No, because there is nothing wrong with being a homosexual. Being a homosexual is not a sin. We are all children of God and we all have the chance to go to Heaven. Only God knows who will be able to enter Heaven, no matter their sexuality.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Delete- Lust and Desire
- People who are in need of money (they turn to starring in one)
- Attention (Sex Tapes)
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- They just want the attention. There are people who have succeeded in doing this. Another could be that there is money involved or even to blackmail someone. Usually these cause such an uproar.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- Yes, it causes lustful behavior and LUST is one of the seven deadly sins.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- A reason could be that they are financially struggling so they do this as a way to get money. Another could be they just do it for their sexual desires. Or it could because they want to get more money, so they do this.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- I don't think it should be legalized in the country because we have to respect our bodies because it is something that we have to value. It shouldn't be legalized because our body is a gift and abusing that gift just isn't right. It objectifies people and that shouldn't be something to be proud of.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- Even though I am not in favor of the "Same Sex Marriage" Law, I think that congressman Pacquiao shouldn't have given any harsh comment about it. As a leader, he knows that everyone watches and idolizes him, so he should be more careful with what he says to the media.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- I think that Pacquiao made sense in the way that the bible does say the Lord does not accept homosexuals. Yes, the Lord accepts everyone but he does not accept all actions and ideas about gender/sex. I just think that Pacquiao should have been more careful with his comments making sure it was as vague and less offensive.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- I was never in favor for Pacquiao to be a politician due to his background. I never agreed with celebrities entering politics because they have no experience but since Pacquiao has a little bit of experience now, I think I will be happy to vote for him because of his side on the same sex marriage issue. I do not mind same sex relationships but I am not in favor for same sex marriage because of the history behind it.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- I completely agree with the Catholic Church. I say this because the Lord put us here on earth to create life and this is our responsibility as human beings. If we implement same sex marriage, it will not follow the Lord's plan for us.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
Delete- I do not agree with St. Paul's statement because you can be a homosexual and still be a good person. I personally think that you can have homosexual relationships and be a good and holy person at the same time and you will still be accepted in the Kingdom of God.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- It is a reality because not everyone has an active sex life. People who are not active use this as a substitute to pleasure themselves.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- Bragging rights, memories, etc.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- Yes it is sinful because it involves lust which is a moral sin. We can't solve or eradicate pornography but we can individually be disciplined enough to control our temptations.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- The three main causes of prostitution would be poverty, sexual pleasures, and peer pressure. I say this because a person can resort to prostitution as their job because they have no choice due to their background of they just simply love sex. They could also have been pressured or forced by other people to sell their own bodies.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- From the Church's stand point, it shouldn't be legalized due to the lust, abortion possibilities and birth control solutions.
- Looking at the problem at a business perspective, I think it should be legalized since this gives people jobs and some famous prostitution places in the Philippines are considered tourist spots to foreigners. This gives money to the economy and this simple business can affect the economy greatly.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
While I do agree with his stand on same- sex marriage, I believe his choice of words and his analogy to animals was insensitive. He could have stood for his faith without degrading anyone and he should watch for what people would feel.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
Yes, he is stating the truth on marriage which backed up by scripture and the Pope. The only problem is that he said it in an insensitive manner.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
No I wouldn't. Not because of his statement, but because he is an athlete who not qualified to lead and is only in power because of his popularity.

I agree. Sex exists to procreate, so if what they're doing cannot possibly create a child and risk std's, then it is immoral.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?

It does not say that homosexuals will not enter heaven, it says those WHO PRACTICE homosexuality won't. Homosexuals who live chaste lives can still enter into heaven
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
People make money, some sexually immoral people want jobs, because teenagers want their hormones to rage.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
They want to brag about what they have done and possibly to ruin the image of their sex partner after a breakup
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Yes, because it is sexually immoral. It destroys the true purpose of sex. It should be banned to keep people moral and we should keep in mind that bodies are Temples of the Holy Spirit
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Women who can't find jobs get desperate, businessmen believe that sex sells and women are abused and sometimes kidnapped to please men.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, because it will cause a moral collapse in society and it would take advantage of women who are desperate to support their families.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
The congressman may have a point but to say that humans who love the same sex are worse than animals is too much. He should have explained himself in a way that will not provoke anyone.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
No because the only thing i understood was that he is against same-sex marriage and thats it. He did not explain himself well thus leading to a scandal against him.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
No because a true leader should not just judge and compare his people against animals instead, they should be evaluated base on equality and their true worth as a person.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
It only said that the acts are immoral and not the homosexuals themselves so I think these people still deserve respect.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
No. Some people may not be homosexuals but they still can not enter heaven because they keep doing evil things so I believe that homosexual or not, as long as you do good deeds here on Earth then you have a chance of entering the kingdom of God because I believe that He judges a person based on his/her true worth as well as for their compassionate heart that cares for other people.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
For entertainment, pleasure, and money for some.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Either because they want attention or because they were forced to by another person.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Yes because it is a lustful act which violates one of the laws of God. We can solve this problem by not watching porn.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
The first reason is money. Some people desperately need money and they will do anything just to get it as such some people resort to prostitution. Second is for sexual desires. Some people will do anything just to have sex so maybe this is what leads them to prostitution. Third is maybe they were forced to or was blackmailed by someone.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No because there are other ways to earn money and the acts that prostitutes commit are in violation of God's laws so this is why it should not be legalized.

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti-same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao?
Answer: I believe that every person has the right to express their opinions. Personally, I do not agree with the anti-same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao. Based on further research, he even said that homosexuals are worse than animals because they are disrupting the natural flow of reproduction. I think that comments like that are rude and distasteful. I do not agree with his opinion on same-sex marriage, but I know a bunch of people who do and while I respect their opinions and am not closed off to their arguments, I think he should have worded his opinions better, because he just ended up degrading the homosexuals and they shouldn’t be degraded at all. He did apologize, though, but he should be more careful with what he says.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same-sex marriage? Expound.
Answer: Manny Pacquiao is basically saying that in the bible, men should marry women. According to him, men should not marry men and women shouldn’t marry women. In my opinion, he is making sense because he’s basing his arguments on Holy Scripture, but I don’t agree with him.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
Answer: If I were a legit voter of this nation, I would not vote for Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao. Not necessarily because of his comments on same-sex marriage because everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but because I don’t believe he’s qualified to be a congressman. After hearing his comment on same-sex marriage, if he were more experienced in this field, I’d probably be indifferent towards his opinions and vote based on how well I would think he would run a country, but Manny Pacquiao isn’t capable of being a congressman.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
Answer: I think that sexual acts between homosexuals should not be considered abominable. There are a lot of things human beings do nowadays that are considered dishonorable in the bible. For example, Leviticus 19:27 states, “You shall not round off the hair on your temples or mar the edges of your beard.” That is a bible verse that is against cutting hair. If it’s acceptable to cut your hair (and our school even reprimands you if you grow your hair a little too long), then I think it’s okay to commit sexual acts between someone of the same sex, especially if you’re married, and that’s why same-sex marriage should be legalized. I do believe that homosexual acts can proceed from genuine affection and sexual complementarity because homosexuals can love each other just as much as heterosexuals do. I think it’s an even bigger sin to be a man who has sexual relations with a woman he does not love than to be a man who has sexual relations with another man that he loves.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
DeleteAnswer: I do not believe that practicing homosexuals cannot enter heaven. 1 Corinthians 11:6 says, “For if a wife will not cover her head, then she should cut her hair short. But since it is disgraceful for a wife to cut off her hair or shave her head, let her cover her head.” I do not see a lot of wives with their heads covered nowadays. And I see a lot of wives with short hair, or even shaved heads. If these women are allowed to enter heaven, then practicing homosexuals should be allowed to enter heaven as well. I think that the laws of the bible have been changed since things are different now. I believe that people abolished homosexual acts then because there weren’t that many people on earth. Most of the arguments in the bible that are against homosexual acts say that homosexual acts inhibit procreation, but there are so many people on earth now and there are so many population problems that I don’t think procreation is a problem anymore.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Answer: I think pornography is a reality because it is a way for people to make money. Another reason why I think pornography is a reality is because sexually excited people may have a way to relieve their sexual excitement. One other reason I think pornography is a reality is because some people are not educated enough to have normal jobs and pornography is the only job they can have.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Answer: I think a cause for this is because people want to make money. That’s the biggest cause that people have when they upload their sex videos. Another reason is because they want to humiliate the people that are in those videos.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Answer: According to my CL notes, pornography is sinful because it immoralizes the act of sexual intercourse. It is sinful because the people participating in pornography are probably not married, therefore they are not upholding their chastity and they are exploiting their bodies to the world. People should not watch pornographic films because they do not uphold a person’s chastity and moral dignity.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
DeleteAnswer: People resort to prostitution when they cannot support themselves or their families financially, they were pressured into it by other people, or they do it for earthly desires.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Answer: I believe that prostitution should be legalized in the Philippines. I say this because currently prostitution is a crime in the Philippines. With the spread of STDs in the country, criminalization of prostitution is more likely to exacerbate these issues instead of address them. Criminalizing sex workers and the sex work industry in general creates more cases of abuse because it is illegal and prostitutes cannot reach out to the police department because then they will be arrested for being prostitutes. De-criminalizing sex workers will prevent abuse and mistreatment in the sex work industry. If prostitution were legal, the HIV/AIDS rate would decrease because prostitutes would be allowed the medical attention that they need. De-criminalization of prostitution would be a starting point to the injustices of prostitution. It would no longer make prostitution an underground activity, therefore economic growth can be made for the country and the women who make themselves prostitutes. I am not in favor of prostitution and that is something I would never do personally, but I respect the choices of these women and I believe that they are entitled to just as much as an average person is and they deserve more rights.

4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- The Catholic Church says that, not the bible. Just because they are part of the catechism, I do not believe that it is God telling them to say that. I'm very tired of hearing people who are against homosexuals say that "the bible says that homosexuals aren't allowed" or anything like that. Whatever is in the bible doesn't agree or disagree on this topic.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
Delete- I do not believe that homosexuals cannot enter heaven. It is completely unjust for me. People go against the bible and 10 commandments everyday yet they still enter heaven. Jesus himself went to hell and brought the people who wanted to go to heaven. People go to hell for the really bad things. Being a homosexual isn't a bad thing. Its a sex you choose to be.

6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?

7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- For me, it's really just for attention. I don't think that there's a proper reason for anyone to upload a sex scandal video. If you wanna get that much attention, then just join the people who have sex for the entertainment of others.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
- Watching porn isn't sinful. I believe that it is the people in the video who are sinning.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their own bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- Theses prostitutes either need financial support, peer pressure, or no stable job. If the people in the government are against them, then they should at least do something in order to help them get a proper job to be financially stable, because as of now, they aren't doing anything besides arresting them.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- I do believe that it should be legalized. I do believe that the government has no plans in addressing this problem in the future years cause who knows how long it can take, but like I said, since the government has no plans in addressing this, they should legalize prostitution because it can benefit people. I'll give you a few reasons. For example, prostitution can finally be a victimless crime. As of the moment, prostitution is illegal, but how many times has a prostitute been raped? If that prostitute went to court and filed a case, she will be the one sent to jail; not the rapist. At least now if it were legalized (which it should), the prostitute can report and file a case immediately with no other problems to come in between her and the rapist. Basically rape would also decrease. Second reason, they can be financially stable, it benefits them because of how much they earn. I searched for surveys and reports where prostitutes whether male or female earn up to more that $2500 - $3000 a week! That's Php 144,030 in pesos. For MY final reason out of the many, it's the persons choice. It is a law that people should respect one another whether choices, occupation and etc.

-I was very disgusted with what he had said. To be compared to animals isn’t quite the best feeling. He had disrespected many including me. He obviously has a close mind when it comes to other beliefs. What was unfair to him though is that he was infront of cameras and it is not his fault to tell his opinion.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
-I do not think Manny Pacquiao is making sense in the video because how can someone compare and degrade humans to animals. He had stated very shallow reasons on why animals are “better” and it just doesn’t make sense.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?

They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- I strongly believe that the statement above is wrong about homosexuals. Homosexuals are fighting for their right to love which is not going against any statement in the bible. Also, they should be treated the same way heterosexuals are being treated.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- No, I do not believe in the said statement that homosexuals cannot enter heaven. There are things said in the bible that are not being practiced today so we shouldn't take it literally. Also, God has open arms and an open heart for all of us. He will not block away His loved ones no matter what.

8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
-I believe that watching porn is sinful because it destroys the purpose or sacredness of our human sexuality. One can solve this problem by realizing their true sexuality worthiness. One must respect themselves so that they know how to use their sexuality. Pornography is wrong because it is unnecessary.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- I think the three main reasons why people resort to selling their bodies is because they really need the money, they do it for pleasure or they have nothing else to do with their bodies.

- I don't think prostitution should be legalized in our country. We shouldn't legalize it because it gives people the idea that it is ok to use our bodies and sexuality like that. As a Catholic country, everyone should know their true sexual worth.

> No, he is not making sense. Though same sex marriage is discouraged due to the fact that same sex couples cannot "multiply", I still see his opinion on the LGBT community as "worse than animals" very irrational.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- My person reaction is to feel bad because Manny Pacquiao was way out of line with what he said. It was very offensive and rude to the LGBT community.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
- Based on the stand of the Catholic Church, it is okay for him to disapprove of the same-sex marriage, but it is wrong for him to publicly display his hatred for homosexuals. He’s supposed to at least respect them because they already go through enough.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
- I would not vote for Manny Pacquiao because he was too rude. If he’s rude to the LGBT community, what more to other people in the government? If he can’t seem to show respect to the homosexuals out there, how could he possibly be a good leader?
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- The Catholic Church has a point about homosexuals doing sexual acts with one another. I think that they shouldn’t commit intimate acts toward one another because it somehow seems wrong. However, I respect homosexuals and I wouldn’t shun them out in a way that isn’t respectful and kind.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
- I believe that the passage is correct and can’t be argued with, no matter how much people want to. It’s not that I think homosexuality is wrong, but it’s because you’re not supposed to change anything from the Bible. I was raised to believe that the content of the Bible is true and not changeable. Therefore, being a homosexual isn’t wrong, just as long as you don’t commit wrong acts as one.

What makes it sinful is the act the one commits when watching. Personally, we shouldn’t watch porn because it breaks our purity and our thoughts.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- People resort to prostitution because they’re desperate for money, they’re forced to, or they enjoy the pleasure of sex.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- It shouldn’t be legalized in our country because our country is a Catholic country. Being a prostitute goes against the teaching of the church and it shouldn’t be followed.

ReplyDelete6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
> Pornography is media's depiction of sexuality. It is used for pleasure, and shows another one of our faults, and another one of the sins humanity commits.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
> I believe that people choose to upload and share sex scandals mainly for attention. Either that or they are blackmailed, or are given a sum of money for posting it.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
> Yes, I believe that watching porn is sinful. This ruins the sacredness of marriage, and ruins the image of sexuality. To solve the problem of pornography, I believe we must all learn to be chaste. One should not watch a porn video, because it is immoral, and it invalidates the gift of our human sexuality.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
> To earn money. People resort to prostitution as it is their only way of earning money, as many are school drop outs and are not qualified for any other jobs.
> For pleasure. People sell their bodies to get the "enjoyment" they "need", in which they do not know is actually ruining their human sexuality.
> Due to societal pressure. People resort to selling their bodies if they are blackmailed to do so, again, probably due to financial problems.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
> NO, prostitution should not be legalized in our country. It should not be legalized as, especially since we are a catholic country, it goes against our religious beliefs. Secondly, making prostitution illegal will give people a wider selection of jobs, not making them have to resort to risking their health for money.

ReplyDelete1. Everyone has his/her own opinion on issues and we must respect that but the way he delivered it is just harsh and offensive. He should've thought before he spoke because words can offend people.
2. He didn't make sense because he compared human sexuality with animals and thats rude and humans are more superior than animals because God created us in his image and likeness.
3. I wouldn't vote for him because he doesn't support equality.
4. As a Christian, I respect their teachings but I have to say that I strongly disagree with this comment. God never makes mistakes so the Church shouldn't be calling them "disordered".
5. I disagree with that passage because I don't think that homosexuals can't enter heaven. I believe that anyone and everyone who has done no wrong or asked for forgiveness can enter Heaven.
6. pleasure, desire, and entertainment.
7. People probably upload their video scandals for money or attention.
8. I believe that watching porn is sinful because it is the main reason for lustful desires. Lust is in the seven deadly sins therefore it is a sin. Personally, sex something that's sacred and is a gift of giving new life.
9. For money, sexual desires, and possibly their last resort.
10. Prostitution shouldn't be legalized in our country because it's a sin to have sex for desire. Sex is a gift of giving new life and not for lustfulness.

1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
My personal reaction regarding to congressman Manny Pacquiao comments about anti same-Sex marriage, is that I'm honestly okay with it, it's his personal opinion and if he felt that way then so be it, nothing will change around society. Because it's just an opinion not an issue that can change the community of the LGBT.
2. Do you think Manny Pacquiao is making sense with what he uttered in the video as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church on same sex-marriage? Expound.
In my perspective it makes sense (in that video) because it was stated in the bible and it was the law of God and the goals of marriage is to procreate and live your spouse.
3. If you are a legit voter of this nation, will you vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao based on his comment in the same-sex marriage issue? Why? Why not?
I would honestly not vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao because this is the 21st century things change and if someone loves someone with the same sex then it's love and affection.
4. According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church #2357: "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered." They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
These comments about homosexuality are true, because God created man and women to procreate the earth and not waste the "gift of life" because it was also stated in the bible. And my reaction regarding this is I'm honestly not okay with this because if someone love someone who are in the same sex then it's love and they cant bring life to this world but at least they can bring life towards themselves or they can be who they want to be.
5. In the letter of St. Paul to 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral... nor men who practice homosexuality." Do you agree with this passage that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven? Comment.
I don't agree with this passage, because as long as you serve God and be good then you'll go to heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
In my perspective I think pornography is a reality because: it sells, it brings excitement towards the viewer, and for curiosity.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I think that people upload their sex videos for revenge or blackmail or to show off their girlfriend or boyfriend in my opinion.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?
Porn is a sin because it leads to temptation to masterbation and its wasting "the gift of life". You can solve pornography by teaching people that pornography is a sin so that people will avoid watching so. I should not watch a porn video because it is the invasion of privacy and to avoid temptation.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Financial issues
Force labor
To survive
Because people need money and if they don't have the money they might be in debt then they might be caught as slaves and be trafficked around the world hoping to pay
Their debts just to survive.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Prostitution shouldn't be legalized because it is sin to have sex before marriage and it's adultery if you're married.

ReplyDelete1. I've always believed that it is right to be able to think for yourself and have different opinion on what you believe, but Manny Pacquiao has clearly crossed the line when he discussed about a persons sexuality. Depicting someone liking the same sex is the same as being animals defiles what the Church has taught us of sexuality. Sexuality is our way of expressing ourselves, and if he thinks it's like being animals then he cannot be considered a true educated Catholic.
2. He does not at all. What he has said in the video clearly shows that he was not properly educated on sexuality in the Church. For one, there have been already cases of homosexual relations between animals, so he has no proper evidence to back up his point. Second, the Church has always viewed homosexuals the same as the rest of us, it's only the sins done by homosexuals concern them. As said from a quote: "Love the sinner, hate the sin."
3. No, I would not. His view of the ever-changing society is too narrow minded. He's not aware of how he is hurting the people in our country who are attracted to the opposite sex, a huge chunk of our people actually. As a leader, he should be one who analyzes carefully what should and should not be said for the sake of the society.
4. In a way I do agree with them on this. They have said to dislike the homosexual act, but not the homosexual. Meaning to say that they still respect the person if he or she decides to be attracted to the opposite sex. This encourages the people to treat each other equally and encourages not to commit sinful acts.
5. No I don't. It's not fair to them to not have the opportunity to enter heaven. When it comes down to it, we are still all children of God and must all be just accordingly. For example the homosexual has been dutifully following the teachings of God and Jesus, being kind and sharing happiness to others. Not letting him go into heaven is the same as not letting another person who is a heterosexual.
6. First, it's used as another form of entertainment. Nowadays there have been more people who feel lethargic and want a form of entertainment where they hardly have to move, which lead them to create pornography. Second, there are more cases of jobless people. Because of that, they must think quickly on the fastest way to get a lot of money, meaning doing pornography for certain people. Lastly is because people cannot control their sexual desires properly. They don't know how to control themselves and divulge themselves in satisfying their need for pleasure.
Delete7. To get revenge on their partners whom they thought did something bad to them. Because their previous partner had hurt them in some way, they get the urge to 'get even' with them and to ruin their reputation. Thus, they upload those videos so that they can embarrass their previous partner with how they act when they are in sexual relationships.
8. Yes it is, because it encourages the indulging of one of the seven deadly sins: Lust. To me, it's very sinful because it's destroys a part of the freedom avid had given to us and all in all he ages our attitude as His children. To solve the problem, I think it would be best to delete all forms of pornography and firmly place rules that will force the people not to make more, that way people will not be tempted to sin. Personally, I think we should not watch porn because it slowly breaks our bond with God, because what we do hurts Him and hurts us as well.
9. First, they lack money for themselves. They are not able to pay for their own commodities with their previous jobs and have to resort to jobs which are easy to do b can earn them a lot of money. Second, is because they need an outlet for their sexual desires. There are some people who cannot control their lust and seek for outlets in which they can indulge themselves in, like prostitution. Lastly is because of social standing being greater than others. Because they have higher social statuses, they have the ability to force people to do certain tasks, one of them taking up the life as a prostitute
10. On this issuers the society I would remain neutral, because there are an equal amount of pros and cons if it was legalized. The cons of legalizing this is that the number of prostitutes would increase since the people don't have to be afraid anymore of being put to jail and can show what their real job professions are. The pros of this though, is that it gives equality to those who were forced to do prostitution and can give them the option of continuing the line of work or not, since it would be considered as a job as well.

I agree with the passage because God only created two types of gender and those are male and female. So I believe that those who practice homosexual acts wont enter the kingdom of heaven
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
The three main reasons why pornography is a reality are first the desire of lust. Second is the desire for men to watch it. And third is people find it awkward to talk about porn to their families so they use porn for an alternative
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
A cause on why people upload their sex video scandals is to entertain people. Another reason is to earn money. And lastly another reason is to brag about their love ones.
8. Is watching porn sinful? Why? Why not? If you think it is sinful, what makes it sinful? How can you solve the problem of pornography? Personally, why should you not watch a porn video?

No because prostitution is not right because God gave us bodies we shouldn't just play with it and let anyone touch it. We should learn how to respect our bodies. So prostitution should not be legalized

ReplyDelete1. I believe that the point of same sex marriage is that the right and priveledge for a heterosexual couple to get married must be shared with a homosexual couple. The reality of the LGBT community is here and we, although personally I do not approve of them either, we must still remain civilized and give them respect.
2. I believe Manny Pacquioao uttered words of bias and disrespect for his stand, which is very wrong in itself. He did make sense that it is wrong to perform the act, in which, the church believes in reproduction but again, there is a lack of respect.
3. Our leaders of the future must be open minded. A government who does not consider and factor the different people in society will create many controversies which is detrimental to a country.
4. Like mentioned, homosexuality is real and happening now. I approve of these things but the right of being human must be present. The right to live contradicts very greatly to the right of allowing only heterosexuals to live. Homosexuals are still humans and must be given respect.
5. The passage heaven, I believe, is given to a person who lived a good and moral life, not by their state in their lifetime. Homosexuals, as long as they were moral must be given the same right to enter heaven.
6. The importance, power and use of media provides many paths to income and money and again, the pleasure attained by viewers.
7. These are means of showing pleasure for others to see. They simply do not find it embarrassing to publicize themselves.
8. Porn and pleasure are acts of lust which belong to the deadly sins. It is sinful. Pornography viewing must be controlled and good will to not succumb to temptation will allow such individual to not view it. Although sexual drives are instinctive, we must not use them all for means of pleasure using the media.
9. Prostitution provides income for people, allowing them to make a living. Prostitution also provides means of pleasure to themselves, using their bodies to interact with others. Again, like mentioned with porn, prostitution is also a mean to show off to others, with prostitutes not being embarassed to publicize.
10.With the reality of poverty in the Philippines and the lack of jobs, prescence of undergraduates and many more, prostitution is a living that many people, both male and female live on. Removing and controlling this will in turn, make many suffer. Although the contraction of many sexual diseases will stop, prostitutes require the extra money to put food on the table for themselves.
