1. My personal reaction to Manny Pacquiao's anti same-sex marriage is that he was tactless. This is so, because it looks like he has not realized how much stronger the LGBT community around the world is nowadays.
2. I do not think Manny makes sense because it looks like he is close-minded. He was not trying to understand their situation at all. They do not choose to be born that way, but they just are. The Catholic Church is not for same sex marriage but they cannot do anything more, since powerful leaders around the world are legalizing it.
3. I will not vote for Manny Pacquiao based on his comment, because he does not understand how everything is evolving. This is a fast paced world and the LGBT community have fought for years to receive their equal rights today as us heterosexuals do.
4. My reaction to this is that it makes sense, since I understand how God wants us to reproduce. What is to solely dwell upon is to why God created Gay people, is it because they also have a purpose in this world? So no one really knows and no one is in any position to judge.
5. I do not agree with this passage because I have seen good people who happen to be homosexuals. Actually, some who are even more holy than a few heterosexuals who religiously attend Church. It is unjust to say that they are not to enter Heaven when some of them have good hearts.
6. 3 main reasons on why Pornography is a reality is because 1.) people want to play out lustful scenes they make in their head 2.) They make companies out of it to earn a lot of money and 3.) people are sinners.
7. The causes on why people upload their scandals is to get attention since they are not receiving any, revenge or the like. Attention because some people may get famous or noticed for doing this. Revenge because this is a way to break someone's reputation through media.
8. I believe watching porn is sinful because it rips off the supposedly sacred act after the sacrament of marriage. It should also only be done in private with your lifetime partner. The problem can be solved by blocking porn sites for most internet access. You should not watch porn videos because it makes you lustful. It takes away your innocence spiritually and mentally. It sickens your whole being ; mind, body and soul.
9. 3 main causes on why people sell their bodies is 1.) they need fast cash 2.) they are lazy to work their way up the ladder and 3.) they cannot control their sexual urges.
10. Prostitution should not be legalized in our country, because it is not moral. It leads to teenage pregnancies, death and no integrity towards one's self. Prostitutes are highly frowned upon and some are even underage so this should not even be a topic of legalization ever.

ReplyDelete1. Personally, I do not mind. Manny Pacquiao is just like any other human being, and he has every right to stand for his beliefs. However, what disturbs me is the words he used to identify not only gay men, but the entire community. Him as a Congressman must be more aware of the words he use.
2. He makes sense in terms of standing with what he was taught. We were all taught to live life as followers of God, and each other. Manny Pacquiao, however, took his words too far. Too far to the point where he started making too much sense. As he was saying his claim, he neglected the fact that other people would be watching, and listening to this video. He talked big, and made things worse by calling an entire community "animals." Although the Church may be against the LGBT community, they took the matter seriously and used a careful approach to reach out their terms to the community. This way, lesser people are offended. In the case of Manny, he did not take into consideration that people would get hurt and offended.
3. No. I believe that this nation deserves more. His comment proved that he is lesser than a good man.
4. As a homosexual myself, I am in no way provoked by this. The Church made themselves clear that they are not against homosexuals, but the homosexual acts.
5.Heaven is a place of acceptance, and love. Those who equally accept each other, and those who loves one another will enter Heaven. It is a mistake to directly pinpoint who goes to Hell and who goes to Heaven. No man must condemn any other to Hell, or Heaven. Only God can, and he will know what must be done. God has spoken to us, and has given us the Ten Commandments. It is a clear message that those who falsify Him, those who kill, those who steal, those who disobeys, and those who commits adultery will be punished by God. Only then can you say a man will go to Hell. Only if he/she acts against God's Ten Commandments. There is no commandment against homosexuals.
6.The need for money.
7.Fetishes. Everyone has their own preference. It may seem odd, but they act as themselves. It is their own, and reacting to it causes nothing but trouble.
8.Yes and no. It depends on the person doing it. It is the desire that drives people to watch porn. The want to feel the way touchy love feels. Watching people going at it sates their desires, but at what cost? Themselves. Watching porn is sinful only if they are addicted to it. Those rarely watching porn are good to go. Why? Thats because they don't normally do it. We all have our urges. Being addicted to it is just wrong. Its sad and weird at the same time.
9.Money. We live in a time where money is the gateway to living. Those with no money are labelled as poor and dysfunctional.
10.No. Knowing that there are people who spends their time selling their bodies for money is both pitiful and frustrating. Every person must be able to cherish the connection they undergo with their partner. Not some random stranger.
1. In the beginning part of the video, I didn’t mind what he had to say. Although as it started to insult these people, I felt shocked because it seems like he really dislikes homosexuals
ReplyDelete2. I think he’s making a little sense, in words that he has his own stand on homosexuality. Although, when he started comparing them to animals, I think he had gone too far
3. If basing it solely on his comment, then I wouldn’t vote for him. I think a government official should be open to all types of people, whether gay or not, in order to fully help the country
4. I think it makes sense. It says homosexual acts, and not homosexuals, therefore the idea there means that their sexual acts is what goes against nature because sex is for procreating
5. I think that homosexuals are allowed to enter heaven despite all what is said. I feel that men who truly believe in God will be allowed to enter heaven, and their sexual alignment does not change this idea
6.
a. Lack of money, and high salary
b. Lust
c. Good business
7. I think the main reason is because they want to be known. This way, more people would talk about you and get your attention. Either that, or it was uploaded without the knowledge of the people in the video
8. I honestly do not think it’s sinful
9. People sell their bodies because of the following:
a. They are forced by their families or friends. This is because in business, you can earn a lot selling your body. Parents may force their children to do these dirty work for easy paycheck
b. Lack of money. With the lack of money, people would have to resort to an easy way to earn.
c. Lust. I think that there are some people who just love what they do, and as a the Joker once said “ If you’re good at something, never do it for free”
10. I think that prostitution should be legalized mainly because of the government benefits these women and some men can have. As sad as it is, prostitution will never leave our country. The only thing possible to do is to help those who are already victimized by these, by giving these people health benefits etc

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- I think that there is nothing wrong with what he said, it is simply reedom of speech. All he did was state his opinion on the matter and what he believed in.
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 was making a little sense at the fact of his own beliefs. Although he might have taken his words a little too far, which is what is causing the anger from the LGBT community.
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 my voting was based solely on the comment itself, then I would not vote for Manny. I think that politicians should be more accepting and open minded to truly help our contry.
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.
- To be honest I do not know what to think of this since it doesn’t really apply to me. However, the church DID state that they are not against two people of similar sex being together but only against of the acts the pairs commit.
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.
- From what I was taught growing up, Heaven is a place for the righteous, and kind of heart. It is in no way or form disallowed for homosexuals. As long as your heart is pure and your soul is kind, then there will be a place for you in heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- People need money
- People are very lustful
- It makes for good business
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- I think this is a way for them to attract attention, which they crave.
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. It promotes lust, which will eventually tempt us prompting us to sin.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- They are forced by their families for money
- They are in need of money for themselves
- They need money for the support of their families
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- I think it shouldn’t be legalized. It will promote sex and will influence teenagers which will lead to teenage pregnancy. Instead of punishing them however, the government must find a way to help these people in order for them to stop what they are doing.
1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDeleteI see nothing wrong with him expressing his thoughts about the issue, however it was clear that he did not do his research about homosexuality on animals. Also, the words that he used weren't appropriate.
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, because based on the Bible and the CCC (Catechism of the Catholic Church) those who do homosexual acts are wrong.
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 he lacked research and offended many people with the words he used and comparing the LGBT to animals; also he barely was in the Congress what more the Senate?
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 it is right since we are meant to procreate and there is no way that homosexuals can procreate. We should teach the homosexuals that what they're doing is wrong and hopefully they could change.
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.
Yes, because it is stated in the Bible and the Bible is the word of God. If this isn't true then it should not be part of the Bible.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
•Money
•Happiness
•Fun
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
It may be because of blackmail or just to brag who they had sex with.
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 prevents us to live a chaste life. It is sinful because it deters us from living a chaste life. Not watching pornography can help solve the problem. I should not watch a porn video so that I could live a chaste life.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
• Poverty- people need money and this is one of the easiest ways to get that.
• Fun- some people need to have sex
• Blackmail- people are sometimes blackmailed into having sex with someone
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, because it prevents a chaste life.
Anton Miguel Mercado Castillo JH CN-9
ReplyDelete1. Manny Pacquiao said some good points but in the wrong way. I think he was not trying to sound like he was insulting the homosexuals. This may be because he has a hard time speaking in english.
2. Although he delivered his speech poorly, he still has a point about same-sex marriage. For marriage is something only a male and a female can have.
3. I would not vote for Manny because he needs to know how to be a proper senator who is open minded and mindful of who he is talking too.
4. I believe that homosexuals are people who are confused and misguided by certain external influences. They are not mistakes but mistakes that can be corrected.
5. I agree for it s written in the bible. The bible tells the story of the life before and after Jesus was born into this world. Whatever is written in the bible was written for a reason because no one or nothing can live without having a reason to do so.
6. This exists because of the following:
-Money
-Pleasure
-Unemployment
7. It shows people that they have done the act and that they are not virgins anymore. Uploading these kinds of videos could possibly get someone known or famous but in the immoral way.
8. Yes watching this is sinful for it allows people to break the 8th commandment, thou shall not commit adultery. It may not look or seem like it is being done physically, but it is done mentally. The problem can be solved by giving those kinds of people job opportunities so that they will not need to sell themselves online. I should not watch these videos for they are obstacles of living a chaste life. I would imagine how God would feel if he saw me watch those videos. I would feel very ashamed of myself.
9. Some of the causes of prostitution are the following:
-Being forced by someone else
-Poverty
-unemployed citizens
10. Prostitution should never be legalised in our country. How can the people of God live such a life.
1. I think that what Manny Pacquiao said was very uneducated and insensitive. He shouldn't be comparing people to animals, and he was misinformed because there are plenty of animal species that engage in homosexual actions.
ReplyDelete2. Manny Pacquiao's words were the same as the Catholic Church's stand on same sex marriage in the sense that they both don't approve of same sex-marriage; however, his words were harsh and uncalled for.
3. No because his comment showed misinformed he is, and how he doesn't before he speaks. We need government officials who are organized, informed, and who just don't throw their words around.
4. I understand where the church is coming from because God gave us the right to marry to multiply, and that is something homosexuals cannot be able to fulfill.
5. I do not agree because there are people who cannot help being gay, and are still religious. These people still believe in God and practice Christianity, why shouldn't they be allowed to enter heaven?
6.•Because it fulfills and satisfies people's fantasies and desires
• Because there are people who have no other means of income, and doing pornography is their only option
• Because the people who engage in pornography have had bad pasts, and that is how they cope with it instead of doing other things such as drugs
7. People do this to feel good about themselves and gain attention, in hopes of good outcome.
8. Watching porn is sinful because we, as children of God, should be chaste and child like. It goes against God's commandments where it said "thou shall not covet thy neighbors wife" and "thou shall not commit adultery." I don't think there is a solid way to solve the problem of pornography, but we can just avoid looking at these types of media. We shouldn't watch it because it is sinful and going against God.
9.• They have no other means of income, and they think that selling their bodies is the only way to earn for a living.
• These people want to feel wanted, loved and desired
• These people have had a rough time growing up, and resort to prostitution to rebel or forget about their past.
10. I think that it should only be legal if it is not forced and enslaved. Some people don't have a proper educational background, and they think that selling their bodies is the only way to earn for a living and for their families.
1. Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao has every right to express his views on same-sex marriage, however, he, as a politician, does not deserve to be called Honorable because he “described homosexuals as worse than animals”. This goes to show that no matter how much money a person (Pacquiao) has, breeding cannot be bought. This is out of line, specially coming from a politician who is now ambitioning to be a Senator. It is scary to think what uncalled for statements he may come out with if he is seated as a Senator.
ReplyDelete2. Manny Pacquiao’s premise is not actually “common sense” because “there are countless species (including mammals) that engage in behavior that could be interpreted as homosexual or bisexual of nature. Whether it’s actual sexual activity, courtship, or even parenting, those have all been well documented to happen with same-sex pairs in the animal kingdom” (by Anton Tabuena). Who is Manny Pacquiao to criticize God’s human creation and put them in the same level as animals without verifying the facts regarding same-sex pairs in the animal kingdom? The Catholic Church, the Pope, do not agree with same sex-marriage, but they did not have the audacity to speak in the same inexcusable manner as Pacquiao.
3. I will definitely not vote for Manny Pacquiao as a Senator or any other political position in our country. His uncalled for comparison of humans to animals in the same-sex marriage issue is most irresponsible and not befitting for someone in the government. He seems to forget that he is not just a boxer. Even an ordinary citizen would probably not have the gall to speak of fellow human beings in the manner Manny Pacquiao did.
4. I agree that homosexual acts are contrary to the natural law. But, we must try to understand the feelings of the homosexuals. Some lesbians try to overcome it by getting married to the opposite sex; some just accept it and go on with their lives the way they wish to.
5. I do not agree that the practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven. The homosexuals cannot help what they feel just as any normal person cannot help what they feel towards their loved ones. For as long as they believe in God, do what is right, and respect others, I believe they are entitled to go to heaven.
6. Pornography is a reality in my opinion because:
- It is all over the internet
- I have encountered people my age who talk about it and participate in it.
- Many crimes have been reported as a result of pornography
7. People probably upload their sex video scandals to get attention. Likewise, they perhaps want to destroy or ruin the partner they did the sex video scandal with. And most of all, perchance because something is really wrong with their brains.
8. Yes, watching porn is sinful because this causes one to be compulsive and develop into an addiction, which in turn may progress to more extreme material despite negative consequences. Some negative consequences may be relationship problems, self-injury, adverse impact on one’s finances or occupation and infidelity.
9. Three main causes of prostitution are:
- Poverty: Unemployment problems which brings about poverty triggers women or girls to become prostitutes in order to support their families.
- Gender inequality: Men’s demand for sex and their willingness to purchase it causes the prostitution industry to exist and to flourish.
- Incest: The father or brothers have sex with the daughters or sisters in the family.
10. Although prostitution is the oldest profession in the world, it should not be legalized in our country. To legalize prostitution will merely promote sex trafficking and further expand the industry. It will increase child prostitution; will affect women’s health and will boost the motivation of men to buy women for sex in a much wider and permissible range of socially acceptable setting.

ReplyDelete1. I respect his opinion on same-sex marriage, but I did not appreciate his comment on homosexuals. He could have easily just stated that he was against same-sex marriage. However, he added that homosexuals are worse than animals. Stuffs like this is one of the primary reasons why homosexuals are struggling and suffering in society. It will only widen the gap between homosexuals and society, which only causes more trouble than there needs to be.
2. I do not making any sense as regards to the stand of the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church is against same-sex marriage like Manny but the Church's stand has nothing to do with distinguishing between male and female. The Church's against it because it doesn't allow for procreation, which enables us to multiply and subdue the earth as God have asked us to do. Furthermore, another reason the Church is against same-sex marriage is that same-sex marriage destroy the traditional family unit, which is fundamental to the education process and development of an individuals and states.
3. I would not vote for him based on his comment. In his comment, he failed to show any respect to homosexuals and just straight up insulted them. In addition, it showed that he was not very knowledgable or in-depth about the topic, since the main problem people have with homosexuality is not the inability to distinguish one's gender but it is fact that it is a disorder for them. With these things in mind, I rather not have him as a senator because senators are supposed to represent and lead the country.
4. Technically, homosexual acts are a disorder to the natural law, because homosexual acts doesn't allow for procreation and traditional family unlike the regular sexual acts would. However, this doesn't mean that homosexuals are disorder, since they are still humans. Also, the lack of procreation is not necessarily all bad, since it has its benefits like not adding up into overpopulation and welcoming orphans into families, so it. I do not agree with the second to the last statement, because one of the main reasons why these acts are done is due to the loving relationship between the couple. Furthermore, I also do not agree with the last statement, since homosexuality does not remove the gifts or purity in these acts.
5. I do not agree with the passage. The homosexuals can still be salvaged by the Lord as salvation is open for anyone no matter. The homosexuals just have to accept Christ into their lives. However, if they do not believe and receive Jesus into their lives, then that's the only time they cannot, since it is an unforgivable sin.

Delete6. First, pornography will always give somewhat the same pleasure you would feel in sexual acts. This is due to the fact that it exposes the private and intimate nature of the sexual act. Second, like prostitution, it is a profitable business. With a large growing audience, the porn industry will never run out of profit. Lastly, the access to pornography is easy, especially in the present. With the internet, one may easily find 1000+ porn videos or pictures with a click of a button.
7. The one reason is that the people wants the scandal to be noticed or spread so that it will be investigated. Sex scandals could be abusive or considered immoral to the public and it could be ignored if no action is done. On the other hand, people upload it to deliberately sabotage one's reputation. Sex scandals can break careers or reputation as the person would be remembered through the scandal.
8. Porn is sinful because it reveals the intimate and private nature of the sexual act to others. This intimate and private nature was only mean't to shared with his/her loved one but porn shares it with third parties. Also, porn objectifies the person as a sexual pleasure, which hurts his/her dignity. Personally, I should not watch porn if I want to treat others with dignity and respect, which is needed to chastity.
9. First, like porn, there is a large audience or customer base for prostitution. Once one enter the industry, he/she could sell right away. Second, there are no skills or qualifications required for it. For people with no education or poor income, this is one of the reliable source of income. Lastly, there are some families that pressure their children to become prostitutes.
10. Prostitution should not be legalized in our country. First, with legalization, more fathers will be encourage to spend more on prostitution. This will cause the collapse of many families, that will only contribute more to poverty. Second,
more young people will be encouraged to become prostitutes for easy profit. However, this will worsen our economy, since workforce will decrease. Lastly, prostitution will become less profitable in the future. Thus, causing prostitution to be an unviable job in the future and our country will still be affected by its negative effects.

ReplyDelete1. I personally think that he did nothing wrong. What he said are his opinions and I respect that. Yes, it may be offending to the supporters of the LGBT but we should also be aware that Manny Pacquiao is known to be a very religious person. I don’t find his comments wrong, but his choice of words are indeed offensive.
2. Yes, because it is true that God made man and woman. He created woman for man to love, not man to love another man. He based his answer to the Bible and he is making sense; however he took it too far with comparing homosexuals to animals because it is wrong to be compared to animals when we are all human.
3. Due to the news and some research, i will not vote for Manny Pacquiao. This is because he does not have the experience to be in the Senate and he already has offended many people due to his comment on the LGBT community. I do not mind his comment but it is proven to me that it is not wise to vote for him.
4. The Catholic Church does not allow homosexual acts, not homosexuals. So I think that it is good that the church understands those people who truly love themselves for who they are.
5. I do not agree that practicing homosexuals will not enter heaven because God is all loving and forgiving. If a homosexual has immense faith on the Lord and has done good deeds his/her entire life, then he/she should go to heaven.
6. Pornography is a reality in three reasons. One, people are very sexually active. When they see sex, they tend to watch it because it is pleasing but in the wrong way. Two, it makes a very successful business. People who work for porn are often very rich and famous. And third, people do porn for the money. Some are so desperate that they end up doing porn as a job in order to gain money for their needs.
7. One reason could be that they upload sex tapes to get attention of others, but there are many reasons why people post their sex scandals.
8. Watching porn is sinful because it makes us turn lustful. With that being said, it brings us closer to sin.
9. Prostitution is seen everywhere because of many reasons. One, people sell their bodies in order to earn money. It’s a sad reality but people do it anyway. This is because either they don’t have a job or they’re too poor to provide for their family. Two, they are so lustful that they wish to sell their bodies to others. If selling their body is what they want to do, then they will do prostitution for a living. And third, they are being blackmailed or forced. In order to live, some people do prostitution just to survive.
10. Prostitution should not be legalised in our country because it removes the freedom and chaste life that God needs in us. Selling our bodies is not why God created us; to add, prostitution does not make human sexuality a gift. We should all pray to God in order for us to know the meaning of sexuality and how we should use it for the betterment of others and for him.
Fernandez, Kim B. JH
ReplyDeleteWhat is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- I’m sure that both sides (Manny and the LGBT community) have strong points although I don’t think that Manny should’ve said it like that. The way he said it was very insensitive which I’m sure offended some people.
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 understanding, I know that the Catholic Church opens their arms to the LGBT community and I’m sure that some of Manny’s points were in favour with the Catholic church although that way he said it was very rude and he probably should not have said it like that.
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 Manny not because I have the same perspective as him but because I don’t think that your vote should be affected by just this issue. I’m sure that Manny is more than capable to be a government official.
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 think that the Catholic church is not telling people no to be gay but what I think they’re trying to say is that homosexual actions are frowned upon but being gay is a whole different thing.
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 think that there are many factors that lead us to heaven and that in the end it’s up to God’s judgment of our actions here on earth.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
It is socially acceptable
To some people it’s just an easy way to make money
It is tolerated and even worse enjoyed by some people
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- I think people do this to get attention because nowadays, “Sex sells”
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 porn is not real sex. Sex is a gift given to married couples and not something you just watch online.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
-They need the money
- low self esteem
- They need to provide for themselves
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- No, because I don’t think that anyone should sell their body for anything. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy sprit and we need to take care of it.

ReplyDelete1. I was shocked on his comment because I have lots of respect for him, as he gives pride to us each time he wins at boxing, and I know that he has a strong faith in God; however, I feel that he went too far with his words. I understand his point, but he did not have to say those things. For me, any comments about the LGBT community is better kept to one's self than expressed openly.
2. No, since he said it in a derogatory way, saying that animals are better than us in that sense. We are created to be more intelligent species than them, with reason, giving us control over our actions, while animals only have instinct, so saying that they are more intelligent than us is like saying we are no better than them.
3. No, since he made a comment that is influential to others negatively. For me, it's better to vote for someone if you know that he/she does not openly talk about biases on others, since it shows that the one you are voting for is objective and impartial to others.
4. I agree on the church against homosexual acts since I believe in genuine love between man and woman. By this way, we procreate and keep the human race alive, as what God meant to happen. For me, homosexual acts go against the church, which is why I disagree with them.
5. I don't want to say my stand for sure since I feel that I have no final say on that, but God. What I can say, is that I believe that if one is from any other sexuality besides man and woman, it DOES NOT make him/her a bad person. Regardless of sexuality, it does not matter as long as the person practices good virtues.
6. I think that pornography is real because first, there are some who go through rough childhoods and not brought up well; second, media usually portrays aspects of sexuality wrongly; and third, some are after the pleasure that it brings. It all leads to misguidance of what human sexuality is; therefore, pornography is, sadly, real.
7. It may be due to pleasure, since they may feel "satisfied" after doing it. I also think that it is due to misguidance, since they may think others will enjoy it.
8. YES, PORNOGRAPHY IS GRAVELY SINFUL AND IMMORAL, since it DISRESPECTS a PERSON'S DIGNITY. IMAGES LIKE THOSE ARE NOT TO BE WATCHED WITH PLEASURE OR ENJOYMENT, since those are BEST LEFT PRIVATE and NOT OPENLY TALKED ABOUT. It is an aspect of being human that should only be kept to one's self and NOT OPENLY USED as OBJECTS OF PLEASURE. To solve the problem is simple: Respect a person's PRIVACY, STAY AWAY from OVERLY EXPLICIT MATERIAL and know when what you are seeing is appropriate or not. In my opinion, we must NOT WATCH PORNOGRAPHY since it is violating the dignity of a person, and we are SEEING THINGS THAT WE SHOULD NOT.
9. I think the main causes are survival, abuse, and harassment. These make some resort to prostitution usually because they feel that they have nowhere to go, given a life that proved bad to them. Some do this because they were not born into a good family or were abused at young ages; thus, they rebel, escape, and then find themselves in a position where they have no choice. The sad truth is, some are forced to do this even if it means never having dignity again, rather than do it on their own consent, all to survive.
10. Prostitution MUST NOT BE LEGALIZED, since I BELIEVE IN THE RIGHT of every person to HAVE DIGNITY. Prostitution takes away a person's dignity, and deprives him/her of the LOVE, CARE, AND HAPPINESS that they RIGHTFULLY DESERVE. All people deserve respect, and I'm sure prostitution does not fall under any type of respect at all.

ReplyDelete1. I am not one to be offended by other people’s points of view. Personally, I do not mind his beliefs and stands because all humans are entitled to freedom of speech. However, I find it very offensive that he stated that homosexuals had less worth and common sense as compared to animals. He should not have said that because it makes him look tactless and insensitive, especially since the LGBT+ community is growing stronger everyday.
2. As regards to the stand of the Catholic Church, in a way, he did make sense. The Catholic Church is against same sex marriage and he was just expressing what he believed in. However, he took it too far by comparing the ENTIRE LGBT+ community with animals. He should have chosen a better way to say what he felt because it made him look tactless, close-minded, and offensive.
3. I don’t think so. I don’t think he would make a very good politician, especially if he sees the LGBT+ community that way. His words were very offensive and uncalled for, and I believe that the LGBT+ supporters that would agree with me, too. Manny’s words have influenced people negatively, and if he wants to be a great senator, he must be open minded and lot more respectful to the public as compared to what he said in the video.
4. I guess it makes sense because human sexuality is a gift from God that is supposed to make us reproduce. Homosexual acts stop the act of reproduction. However, the Church has only made it clear that homosexual ACTS are sins, and not homosexuality itself.
5. I don’t agree with this. God loves all of us and He has a plan for every single living being on Earth, and He has also washed away all our sins. Heaven is a place where everybody is accepted and loved despite their looks, past and preferences. As long as you have faith in God, believe and listen to His word, and are aware of how Jesus came down to save us from our demise, then there will be a place saved for you in Heaven.
6. Three reasons:
People are lustful.
People want money.
People want to have “fun.”
7. I believe people upload their sex video scandals for the ‘thrill’ of it. A lot of people find it enjoyable to re-watch and some even sell their scandals to earn money.
8. Watching porn is sinful because it hinders and completely disregards the fact that us Christians are supposed to be living a pure and chaste life. The public distribution of media showing the act of sex is wrong; sexual acts should only be between two people with the intent of reproduction.
9. I think that people sell their bodies when they have no choice anymore. Since prostitutes earn a lot of money, here are the three things I believe they use it for:
SURVIVAL: Unfortunately, a high percent of prostitutes have no stable jobs and need to earn money for their family. Prostitution is an easy enough ‘job’ with lots of payment, so they resort to selling their bodies.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Many people on the street are blackmailed and forced to have sex with strangers for a “pimp.”
FUN: A few people sell their bodies just because they want to have sex. Some of them also use the money to buy drugs for their own personal entertainment.
10. No, prostitution should not be legalized in the Philippines especially since this is a Catholic country. It hinders us from living a chaste life.

ReplyDelete1. I understand what he's trying to defend about same sex marriage, but there are some things that are excess and unreasonable to say about this topic. With what he said, he hurt some people in the LGBT community and possibly triggered something, especially when he compared the LGBT to animals. The people in the LGBT community are humans and they should still keep their human rights
2. I don't think Manny Pacquiao was in the right mind when he was being interviewed in that video. He just related the common sense of homosexuals to the common sense of animals which isn't reasonable for God didn't create us like that.
3. I wouldn't vote for Manny Pacquiao because he has to be more open minded. A good leader should at least try to understand their people and their points on issues like these. He must have a connection with everyone in the community and not be against them.
4. I believe it is true that this closes the sexual act of the gift of life due to the fact that only a man and woman can be together to procreate and multiply. God told us to Go forth and multiply and this could be an obstacle to our goals in life.
5. I don't fully agree with this since some people from the LGBT community are christians and they see Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They are like us, the cis, and they also deserve to enter the kingdom of God with their own rights.
6. 1) sexual desires 2) money 3) popularity
7. For them to be known and noticed by other people and to show off their body and what they have done.
8. Porn is sinful considering that when you watch porn, you create lustrous desires in your mind and committing adultery, in which is a sin according to the bible. This problem can be solved by petitioning to remove all the porn sites and making it illegal to watch these types of videos. It can also be fixed by having a strong heart wherein you can control these desires. No one should watch a porn video because it contradicts the commandment, "thou shall not commit adultery" and it will commence the wrong sexual desires.
9. 1) for money. Some girls (and guys too) tend to start the prostitution business when they can't find any way to make money for a living. 2) some people are forced. Inhumane people kidnap people to own them and maybe use them for earning money too. 3) Some people find it fun. These people could possibly find this prostitution as a hobby and they could just be doing this for fun and fulfilling their sexual desires.
10. Prostitution shouldn't be legalized in our country mostly since our country is a catholic country and it is against God's law to legalize this sinful act.

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao. He did no think of the consequences of what he did and he got what he deserved. It was wrong to say that animals are more smarter than 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. Manny Pacquiao actually has a point, but it was not expressed well and formally. 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 did, I believe that I will not vote for him. He did not think things through and that is a bad qulity for a 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. My reaction to this is that it is better said compared to what Manny said. In my opinion, we should try our best to follow this, but with respect to those who do not. 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 homosexuals will still go to heaven as long as they do not sexually interact and follow God's commandments. We can show our love in different ways not only through sex.6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?Pornography is a reality because it is in our nature to reproduce, there is temptation around us and we cannot help to fall in temptation.7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals? They upload their sexual scandals to probably get attention.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 not sinful for me, but sexual desires are.9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain. They sell their bodies because they need money, they need pleasure and they probably did not have a good family.10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not? Prostitution should not be legalized due to the fact that it is a sin to have pre-marital sex.

ReplyDelete1. Well I think he did not consider the effect it would have on other people as a collective. It was very insensitive considering the many talks about this specific topic.
2. Manny Pacquiao failed to bring out the true stand of the Church, we do not bring LGBT people down to a lower level, we only condemn the act of doing LGBT sex, besides that, we know that they are people as well.
3. I wouldn't, that statement just proved how reckless a leader he is, he should consider that some others from our nation are different in a sense. Not considering this before coming forward for a sensitive topic lets people see how you handle a situation, in his case, he handled it very poorly.
4. This is most probably an outdated Catechism, I listen to Pope Francis, and his predecessor, Pope Benedict. They both did not condemn LGBT for it is who they are, but they do condemn sexual acts between LGBT people. Sex is a basis for family, but can be abused for sexual desires, turning it sinful and evil. Since nothing will come from LGBT sex, it is not allowed, state marriage and allowing to them to exist? the Church has been with that waaaaay before.
5. St. Paul was wise and holy, however, some thing he said was false and misunderstood by himself. For example, he stated that a wife should always be behind her husband, never taking the lead, obviously this isn't found in our community any longer and women are now strong on their own. Considering this, we see that we should not condemn a person just because of their sexuality.
6. Pornography is a reality because of the pleasure that comes from it. It shows a sense of comfort and nature that all humans have. It is on a baser instinct of survival and sex, everyone and everything eventually have that sexual urge to just hump something, and thats why its real.
7. Usually its to blackmail whoever they were with that night, or just because they are so confident in themselves they want to show other people their experiences.
8. I do not condemn porn, but it does bring out sexual urges, which I condemn as it leads to sin. Sex was made so that we could reproduce and be many, it is a process to lead to a family, not too abuse for your own urges. Well stopping the world is impossible, but reflecting on it and not watching these sort of things and telling other people its not worth it is a way to help everyone.
9. They are uneducated, abused, and opportunities to make easy money. People who become prostitutes usually don't have the education to get a better job or know that it isn't a decent profession. Usually abused children become prostitutes because they grew up with it. These people don't have money, and they need quick money on hand, after a few hours you have enough money to treat the STD you just got.
10. As of now, yes, people need to hope and get medical care they need. Unfortunately the Church fails to see the need to legalize this to avoid infection and death. Our country needs more solutions, not more problems.

ReplyDelete1. I believe that everyone has a right to have his/her own opinion. However they also have a right to be respected. By comparing the LGBT community with animals, Pacquio violated they’re rights. I think next time he should think before he talks.
2. I don’t think so because animals and human beings should not be compared to each other. God made humans and animals different for a reason.
3. I would not vote for him because he is very disrespectful. In being a leader you should be able to respect people and their beliefs even though you do not agree with them about it.
4. In my opinion even though the Catholic Church does not approve of it, we should still respect the homosexuals. This is so because God thought us to love and respect all our brothers and sisters.
5. I believe that if they have truly accepted God in their lives He will accept them because God loves all of us unconditionally.
6. Porn is reality because of social media, influences by friends or experience with early sexual history.
7. I believe they do this to get revenge with the person in the video or to ruin there reputation. This could also be a source of money.
8. Yes it is sinful because you disrespect other people and you give in to the sins of the flesh. I believe that pornography may only be stopped if social media with lessen its influence about it.
9. People resort to prostitution because they have no other way to earn money, they get influenced by the media and they have experienced early sexual history.
10. It should not be legalized because of 3 reasons. First of all more people would be more encouraged to go there and this will be promoting sins of the flesh. Second, prostitution violates the 7th commandment which is you shall not commit adultery. Last but not the least it will also help the spreading of sexually transmitted diseases.
1. I think he is a bit rude to the people especially since he compared people to animals and saying animals are better. Although he is a famous person he has no right to be rude. Although he was rude the people must not follow him in his footsteps and retaliate. They should respect it, they can and must complain but not to a point of disrespect.
ReplyDelete2. Yes and no, This is because yes he may be right that the church forbids same-sex marriage so he is making sense. No because people are different than animals, We people have reason while animals have instincts. We act for living, for God while animals act for survival. So he isn’t making much sense with that stand.
3. No, This is because based on his comment he is not really capable of leaving because he cannot say the right words to express his opinion. He says what is on his mind without thinking of what others may feel. Though he did say sorry to the people and I respect that. Though I will vote for someone who thinks before he acts.
4. I think this is wrong, due to the fact that Homosexuality is still human sexuality. What ever their sexuality is they are still humans and does not have a disorder. Homosexuality maybe contrary to the natural law but it is not bad nor a sickness. It is the person’s sexuality.
5. I don’t agree because as long as the person loves God with all his heart then he may enter heaven. God does not stop anyone who is worthy to enter. He accepts anyone and forgives anyone. As long as they have faith in the Lord then they may enter but if they have mortal sins or if they don’t believe in God then they cannot. They are judged fairly with other people so it doesn’t mean their gay they don’t enter.
6.
1. People want pleasure. People want to feel pleasure to satisfy their thirst
2. It is easy access, It is easier to search and find because its all over the internet
3. Because some people cant make money so like Prostitution pornography is easy money
7. They upload it because one they want to be famous, two they want to be “cool”. Either way all they want is attention from others. Maybe because they lack attention or want more.
8. I think its sinful because as said in the bible looking at a woman with lust is already committing adultery. Adultery is against the 10 commandments thus making watching porn sinful. Personally we can solve this problem by simply having self control. We should not watch porn because as said it is a sin.
9.
1. As said in number 6 its easy money, people have a hard time working or getting paid but prositution is easy and gets a lot of money
2. Lust some people just want to urge to have sex all day. They cannot control their lusts.
3. Lastly Sometimes they are forced to do it because they were kidnap or threatened
10. I think in my opinion it shouldn’t because it is an immoral act. Although some say it needs because they would do it illegally, I say instead of legalizing we should be strict about it because yes it is illegal as of the moment but the justice system, the government doesn’t do anything. All they did was made it illegal that’s it no backup.

Delete1.) What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDeleteHim being obviously part of the anti-sex marriage campaign is just strongly against the whole idea of two people with the same gender marrying each other for life. I believe that what he said is cruel. Yes as being Homo sapiens, we are originally considered animals. That doesn't mean that we are to be told that animals are smarter than we are. What Manny says is based on ignorance and lack of open-mindedness. Many people would agree to his statement, unfortunately. At the same time I have to acknowledge that he has a valid point. In my situation, there's a struggle between my own beliefs and my moral stands.
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 a sense, he is proving a valid point. I do believe that the Catholic Church cannot except the same-sex marriage.
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?

9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
One cause maybe lack of love and care. Many seem to enter the world of prostitution simply because you're trying to prove a point to either their parents or two others that taken have their own fun and pleasure and get their own source of income.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Prostitution can never be legalized in this country. Prostitution may be allowed in the Netherlands but it doesn't mean that the Philippines, being a Catholic country, can ever allow this to be legalized. Prostitution is one of the worst types of businesses of all time. It lowers the standards of people for many would just want to give their very own purity for pleasure.

ReplyDelete1. I'm okay with his opinion but he shouldn't insult the LGBT community like saying that animals are better than gays.
2. Yes he has a point because he was following the bible and the teachings of the chirch and their stand on same-sex marriage.
3. No, I wouldn't vote for him because I think he's more of a celebrity than a politician and he was very rude with his comments towards the LGBT community
4. People can be gay if they want to be gay because it's their choice and the church aswell but the only thing that creates tension between LGBT community and the church is the sexual acts of gay because according to the church you reproduce to create offsprings and if you're gay you won't be able to do that
5. I do not agree because your sexuality cannot determine whether you are a good or bad person.
6. It is in our nature to satisfy ourselves with sexual acts
The people who do porn do it for the money
We live in a technologically advance society which makes it easier to influence people to porn
7. People upload it to gain attention and fame
8. I think it's sinful because it is an act of lust
9. They live a troubled life and need money to survive
10. No because it is immoral and the church doesn't accept things like Prostitution especially in our country since we live in a religious country
1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDeleteI honestly was very offended because no one should ever define ones value because of their sexual preferences because they didn't choose their sexuality. I get that he has his opinion but he should always remember to be conscious of other people's feelings.
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 a way, although I do not think the church would compare anyone to animals and the like.
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 don't think a close minded person is capable of leading well. I wouldn't want a leader who won't accept members into the public solely based on their sexuality.
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 don't think that they are disordered because they simply did not choose the life they are living, like the rest of us we didn't choose who we are or the life we live.
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 do not agree because we are all sons and daughters of God and in his eyes we are all equal, so why can't they enter the kingdom of God?
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Lust of Man
It is an industry where money is made easily
It is easy to access
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
I think its because they do not realize how much of a mistake it is. Usually it is done intentionally as blackmail or for popularity.
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?
Personally I think it's very sinful, its not just an act of lust but it is also a violation of our purity. Our bodies are temples of the holy spirit and should be respected.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Usually this is done by force, to ear money or for lust.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
Never, Prostitution is against us as Catholics and shall never be legalized. Our bodies are the temples of the holy spirit and should be respected. We are made to reproduce to create christian families and not just to commit lustful acts with strangers.

ReplyDelete1. In my opinion, the way he talked about the LGBT community was foul and unfair. I was deeply shocked by what he said because of the wording the chose and the way he spoke about our brothers and sisters.
2. Manny Pacquiao did not make any sense; in my opinion, he was saying useless things without even thinking about it. He did not represent the Catholic Church well, because the church does not condemn the LGBT community, but the church just does not permit same-sex marriage.
3. Not at all. In my opinion, Hon. Manny Pacquiao is not qualified to be in any position in the government clearly shown through his arrogance against the LGBT community. To me, that is a reflection of how he addresses other political issues if ever he is re-elected.
4. I understand how the church does not approve of homosexual acts, because of how the church bases their facts on the bible. "They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity." For me, I don't believe in this statement because homosexual love is still love.
5. According to 1 Corinthians 15:50, "I tell you this, brothers: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable." I believe we are all sinners, every hetero/homosexual. God has promised all of us the Kingdom of God, in fact he has repeated this promise numerous of times. I believe it is up to us if we choose to inherit his kingdom. It is our choice to be devoted followers of Christ, and our sexuality is not a barrier to the kingdom of heaven.
6. Pornography has been one of the oldest industries in the world, aside from prostitution. First, we live in a technological dependent world. we live and breathe for the internet, and sadly, there is too much sexual content online. Second, there are too much "consumers" of this kind of media. There has always been a demand for porn, and this is why it has become such a big industry. Lastly, pornography distorts human sexuality into something so unattainable and mysterious. It exaggerates what real sexuality is, therefore making it almost like fiction.
7. Sex scandals are highly viewed of in the pornography business/industry, especially when it came from celebrities or popular figures. Uploading scandals generate a social buzz, therefore the people involved in it are talked about a lot (but for the wrong reasons).
8. Yes, because you chose to invade someone's privacy and you chose to distort the true image of human sexuality. Pornography can be solved by cutting it off at the root, which is banning the people in the pornography industry to create more content. Personally, it stains our purity and it can lead to an addiction which then can cause psychological damages.
9. One major cause is that the person does not have a choice. Meaning, they were forced into this business in order for them to be spared. Second, prostitution is the only way they can earn money or pay of debts to someone else. Lastly, they think that this way of living is okay.
10. In my opinion, prostitution can be legalized, however there must be strict laws to protect women/men that sell their bodies. If it is legalized, there is a possibility that you can arrest those who rape or abuse prostitutes. However, my moral standing is that prostitution should not be legalized because the industry is much too vile.
1. I felt a little disappointed to find out that a government official of the Philippines has such views. I'm not disappointed with him against same-sex marriage. I'm disappointed to know that how he views those in the LGBT is so wrong and offensive.
ReplyDelete2. I think he does make sense. People overlook it because of the way he delivered it. He was very offensive to the LGBT community but his stand does make sense. He's basically against same-sex marriage. His message is very flaud but his message is pretty clear.
3. I would because it doesn't change how he does his job. He is doing well as a Congressman and his opinion will not affect that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it seems that Manny Pacquiao's views are not interfering with how he does his job so I would still vote for him. It's just an opinion and everyone has the right to their own opinion.
4. I feel bad that the people of the LGBT community are viewed upon as that. We must all be treated as equals no matter what. There shouldn't be a difference in treatment just because of how a person acts or what their interests are. We are all children of God and must be treated as such.
5. I do not because people who enter heaven are judged by their acts in the material world. It doesn't matter how a person is as long as he/she does what is asked of him/her and continue God's quest, I belive he/she will still get into heaven.
6. Because some people are lonely and want the comfort of the other or same sex but can't have it. For those who have very lustful minds and can't stop themselves from it. Those who are down on their luck and can't find a well paying job so they must resort to being a porn star actor/actress.
7. To catch attention from other people. In this world, being noticed is very important for some reason and having a sex scandal is a very easy way to get noticed. Also, it may be because the person is mad at the other person and thus posts the video to get back at him/her.
8. I don't think it is because that is the part of growing up. People have urges and they also have curiosity and they want to get relief and they want to have answers.
9. One big reason could be the lack of funds. A lot of girls and boys resort to prostitution because they can't find a job to support themselves or their families and thus must resort to selling their bodies. Another could be because they didn't finish their education. In order to get a good job, a person needs good education so those who don't get it resort to prostitution.
10. I think it shouldn't because it is not right. It is demoralizing to the person because they are treated as objects and not as human beings. They should never have to resort to selling their bodies just to support their families. Also because that is a very effective way to spread STD's which is a very bad thing. It will only hurt more and more families

ReplyDelete1.In my opinion Manny Pacquiao is right because based on the bible the sexual acts the people with the same sex are doing is considered a sin and forbidden.And as a free person Manny Pacquiao is entitled to his own opinion so we must not judge a person for what he thinks because everyone in the world has their own thinking when it comes to this topic.
2.Yes he is, because as we all know Manny Pacquiao is a very religious person and he is basing his opinions on the teachings of God, and if you will read the bible there are actually passages that mention acts such as sodomy where two people with the same gender have sex is considered a sinful acts and against the teachings of Christ.
3.Yes, because you don't base a persons capability on what he says, everyone makes mistakes and even though they have a lot of mistakes they would still be able to lead.I believe that Manny Pacquiao is still capable of leading since what he said is just his opinion and as a free person he is entitled to his own opinion.
4.I believe whatever the Church says and if it says that acts such are these are considered sinful and illegal then I have no choice but to side with this since based on the bible God created us for a reason and one of it is to spread the word of the lord and if we would be disobeying what the bible says then whats the use of sharing it with others if we ourselves can even follow what it says based on these sexual acts.
5.I honestly dont know because for me being homosexual is actually ok but then the act they will be doing is considered a sin, so I dont really know what to say about this since I cant really relate.
6.
-lack of money
-some people are just really lustful
-it earns money for the business
7. For me, they do that to get attention from around the world and to become known and famous.
8. For me it is sinful because watching porn is considered a lustful acts and lust is part of the capital sins which means we should not be tempted to do it.
9.
-They are forced to do it by someone
-They do it to earn money for themselves and their families
-They do it because they actually like the act of sex
10. No, because if this is legalized in our country then people with no jobs or doesnt have the capability to have a job would join in this business especially some teenagers.And if this happens it could lead to alot of unwanted and teenage pregnancy which would eventually lead to abortion which is also considered as a sin.So if this is legalized it wont only promote one sinful act but it would lead to two or more.
1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDeleteAs to what Manny Pacquiao said, he had a point although he didn't have to compare us people to the animals and he shouldn't have said it like that. He could have given more respect to the LGBT community since we are all human beings.
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, because he was just following the Bible and CCC.
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 he doesn't think before he acts. I also think that the Filipinos deserves more.
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 agree as a catholic although as human i am not in the position to criticise homosexuality. These people have the right to live as who they are. As for us people, we should respect their community since they are all also human beings.
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, because it depends if the person is righteous. There’s no measurement of being righteous and no human can determine whether you are going to heaven or not.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Money
Lust
Means of livelihood
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
Betrayal
Blackmail
Money
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 pornography means sexually immorality and it drives us to sexual acts which will break the virtue of chastity.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
Pleasure - maniac effect or high libido
Poverty - the money
Unemployment - they need a job
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, because he/she is breaking the value of chastity. The people included in this kind of act means that they are doing this out of desperation. This may affect the health of the people which will cause to spread sexually diseases.

ReplyDelete1.What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
Based on Manny Pacquiao’s comments, he based his stand on the Church and its teachings. He refused to agree with same-sex marriage and stated that animals are smarter than humans since they can differentiate a woman from a man. I respect his opinion since he is firm about it.
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 opinion, he made sense since he based everything from the teachings of the Church. He is trying to imply that marriage should be between a man and a woman and nothing more than that.
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?
Since I have a neutral stand on same-sex marriage, I will still vote for Hon. Manny Pacquiao despite his comments about same-sex marriage because it doesn't affect his performance as a leader for this country. The votes should base their votes on the capability of the person and not for comments he/she makes.
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.
Based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church, I think they are making perfect sense because a relationship between a man and another man and a woman with another woman cannot result to sexual complementary since sexual acts are between a man and a woman.
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.
In my opinion, homosexuality is not a hindrance to entering the kingdom of God since it is a choice. This should not be the basis of entering heaven since it should be solely based on the acts we've done while on earth. We shouldn't be judged with our sexuality but more so on our acts and how we treat people and especially our God.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
Pornography is a reality because it reflects the act of having sex. In addition, it is normal for people to do this act but it shouldn't be publicised. Sex is not an achievement that every man is willing to accomplish; that is the main misconception. People should treat the act as a gift and treat it sacredly.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
To catch attention. In my opinion, uploading video scandals is stupidity.
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?
It is sinful since the act of having sex must be treated with respect. I dont think there is a solution to the problem of pornography because you cannot deal with all the people in this world who would opt to upload videos. You shouldn't watch pornographic videos since it is immoral and unjust
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
To have money for different uses, because of their own sexual desires and so that they have something to do with their lives.
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
No, since it is an immoral act and could result to teenage pregnancy leading to abortion which is another sin.

ReplyDelete1. I respect Manny's opinion because I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone has the freedom to express that opinion. The only problem with his statement is that it is an offensive remark to the homosexuals. Though his opinion should be respected I believe there could have been less offensive ways of saying his opinion on same-sex marriage. Saying homosexuals are below animals is not a fair comparison.
2. Based on my opinion I understand what Manny is driving at, but again a comparison between homosexuals and animals is not fair. We cannot compare the mind of a human being to that of an animal. It is obvious that our minds are far greater than that of animals. In addition, we cannot compare the behavior and characteristics of humans and animals as equals.
3. Wether or not I am pro same-sex marriage I still find his statement offensive. I would not want to vote for a candidate who does not know how to make wise choices with his words and is careless with his actions.
4.As a firm catholic believer I cannot strongly disagree with this. Though my stand is still unclear, I find this mostly true in the sense that homosexual acts are not natural and close the sexual act to the gift of life. This is only my opinion.
5.Again as a firm catholic believer I cannot disagree with what is written in the bible. Since these are the words of St. Paul I cannot do anything more, but agree. Though, I do believe in repentance. Anyone who is willing to admit their faults and confess will be forgiven by God and enter heaven.
6. Pornography is a reality due to lustfulness and the desires of the flesh, greed of those who make money out of this industry, and the poor knowledge on human sexuality.
7. In my opinion people do these acts either for fame or money or both.
8. Watching porn is sinful because we loose the sense of chastity and true human sexuality. What makes this act sinful is the lustful thoughts and actions we do while watching. Solving pornography will take discipline pf each person and proper education on human sexuality. I should not watch a porn video because it destroys my relationship with God.
9. In my opinion the three main causes why people sell their bodies is mainly for money which could pay for their daily needs or even education, the high demand for this which also promotes gender inequality, and pleasure that it brings to the client which fulfills his/her lustful desires.
10. It should never be legalized in our country because there is absolutely no benefit from this at all. Why feed the lustfulness of people, but instead find a way to cure it.
P.S.
Sorry Sir. Cloyd for the late submission. I couldn't publish my comment under my account since saturday, so I'm asking casti to post it for me.
What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
ReplyDelete- Well what he said about homosexuals was very offensive since you can’t just compare them to animals. Always remember that there is a nicer way of saying things that won’t hurt other peoples feelings.
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.
- Manny Pacquiao made sense with what he said but the thing is his comparison was harsh on the LGBT community. He could’ve said his stand about the same sex marriage in a way it is tolerable.
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 either way for in my opinion there are better choices out there. The only reason why he actually wins is because of his popularity in boxing and representing the Philippines but then again his career has gone downfall ever since. We also must understand that a leader is someone who would understand and accept anyone’s beliefs no matter what.
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 complementarily. Under no circumstances can they be approved." What is your reaction or comment on this? Expound.
- As a catholic it’s always right to follow the bible and its teachings. However, the bible also teaches us to love and accept one another. Now I respect anyones beliefs and do not try to hinder it. It is their life they choose how to live it I have no place when they make their own decisions.
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.
- If it is stated in the bible well then alright but to me God is someone who looks beyond your sexuality, appearance, or even beliefs. I believe that anyone is welcome to heaven if they live their life with compassion and love for others. Being a good person means loving others and helping them out no matter what and those are the type of people that should enter heaven.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- In our current lesson there are such things as “urges” where the man or woman desire to do sexual acts through pornography they get “fulfilled” (ew). However, there are people who resort to this industry for their source of income.
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- Most of the time these scandals are “leaked” meaning someone wanted to expose these people. Other times its for the popularity and attention they get after uploading these 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?
- No I do not think it is sinful since some people desire some things lol
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
1. For the $$$: some need the money whilst others choose this as their profession (source of income)
2. Forced upon: other prostitutes were forced to resort to this even if they didn’t want to
3. Sexual desire: some just need to please themselves
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- Honestly, prostitution is only bad if they are forced to do it. If they are not forced and they choose to do it out of their own free will it means breaking their chastity but then again don’t stop the people to live out their dreams!!!!

ReplyDelete1. What is your personal reaction to the anti same-sex marriage comments of Hon. Congressman Manny Pacquiao.
- Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that should be respected. However what he said was very hurtful to some people and he should take into consideration of consequences of what he says on other people.
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.
-If he is saying that his basis is the Bile then i guess that what he said makes sense. In the Catholic Church marriage should really be between a man and woman because it is a Holy Sacrament, but i think that people should be allowed to love who they want and if they would like to get married they should be allowed to, and legalization of same-sex marriage should be allowed.
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?
- This incident shows that no matter how harsh the criticisms may be on his opinion he is still willing to stand by what he says, i would still vote for him because of that. However he needs to remember that words are powerful and at times can be hurtful- so when you say something remember to always be respectful.
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 you love someone you should not be shown any less respect because they are of the same sex. Everyone deserves the same amount of respect. For this reason i do not agree with the statements above. it is the ACT, not loving the person.
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.
- God is good and he is loving. We should remember it is the act and not loving the other person.
6. What do you think are the three main reasons why pornography is a reality?
- Money
- Pleasure
- Fame
7. What do you think are the causes why people upload their sex video scandals?
- Attention.
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?
- It is a private act and it doesn't need to be shared. Pornography is not love, and it gives an unrealistic idea of love.
9. What are the three main causes why people resort to selling their bodies (prostitution)? Explain.
- Fast money
- Lack of education
- Personal satisfaction
10. Should prostitution be legalized in our country? Why? Why not?
- No, of course not. your body is a temple of God, and it demands respect.

ReplyDelete1. I respect his beliefs and opinions, we all know that people can't be on the same page. But the way he said this was offensive.
2. He makes sense only when he firmly stood by the fact that he is siding with the teachings of the church. But as a person he should consider the feelings of others and mostly the LGBT community. Those people are human too and describing them as lower than animals is rude, specifying that animals stick to the norm while humans are not.
3. No because as a leader you should take into account each and everyone you are governing. We know that there are LGBT people in our nation and him disliking these people will not put the country in a good state.
4. The church is not against homosexuals but the act itself since God from the very start wanted a man and woman to procreate.
5. I do believe that they have the right to inherit God's kingdom as long as you can surrender yourself to God and follow his ways. Homosexuals can't just be disbanded from heaven just because of their sexuality.
6. to be satisfied sexually, for money and because it is the easiest way to get a job since for them they just need to use their bodies.
7. for fame and revenge
8. Yes it is sinful because sexual acts must only be kept between man and woman and having a third party in sexual acts is considered sinful.
9. Money, easiest way to get a job, business
10. No, there are a lot of things that can be destroyed. Like the sanctuary of life, ten commandments, two fold purpose of sexual acts and marriage.
