5 v ABSTRACT In a prevailing culture and age where freedom is taken as a right to do whatever one pleases, this study proposes a supplementary students text for teachers, that presents the authentic meaning of freedom based on the Christian faith. It integrates OP-Siena 4 C s the core values of contemplation, communion, compassion and integrity of creation in a practical, realistic and inculturated approach for the CLVE teacher, by bridging the exercise of Christian freedom to the context of the daily life and activities of the second year Filipino high school student. Common negative notions on freedom are presented and the true meaning of freedom is discussed. These are lessons on freedom, moral life in OP-Siena Schools and integrating freedom with the 4 C s, including several discussions on the lives of Dominican saints in relation to freedom and in the light of the Dominican motto: Passion for Truth and Compassion for Humanity.

13 2 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION These days, many baptized Filipino Christians have not yet made the Christian Faith their own, in a conscious, mature way. Most Filipinos call themselves Christians, and yet they do not seem to understand what the grace they have received in baptism empowers them to be and do. They still do not know what they really want to achieve in life, or even why they want it. The current prevailing culture and age is one that considers human freedom as the right to do whatever one pleases, when authentic freedom, according to the Christian Faith, is to do the good. 1 This false understanding can be seen in the abuse of the exercise of freedom. One example is the Politiesmo installation by Mideo Cruz, part of the Kulo Exhibit at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). 2 Unfortunately, Cruz s art did not uplift the human spirit, as art ought to do, but was more of a debasement of the spirit. Cruz cried foul at the vandalism of his work by some individuals, invoking the freedom of expression. However, Cruz himself had blatantly vandalized legitimate expression of the Catholic faith. Another example of a false understanding of freedom is the countless recurring abusive incidents of election-related violence and fraud in the country during election time. In the most recent election, this 2013, The Philippine National 1 Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, Catechisms for Filipino Catholics 694 (Makati City: ECCCE, 1997). Hereafter referred to as CFC with paragraph number. 2 Rob Maguire, Christian Outrage Shutters Contemporary Art Exhibit in Manila, Art Threat, August 9, 2011, (accessed June 25, 2013)

14 2 Police reported 58 cases of what is suspected to be election-related incidents, 112 days since the election period started 3. Of the 58 cases, 35 had died. 4 A third example is the controversial and long-debated Reproductive Health (RH) Bill, which, after 13 years in Congress, was signed into law, as Republic Act 10354, last December 21, Entitled Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012, the law aims to provide Filipinos with free access to contraceptives, fertility and sexual education, as well as maternal care. The Catholic Church persistently rejects contraceptives measures to regulate birth because these go against Christian ethical and religious beliefs which uphold the sacredness of life. Such measures are part of what Pope John Paul II calls a culture of death, characterized by a culture that denies solidarity with persons, especially those weakened by illness, handicap or poverty. 6 David Hollenbach, S.J. further expounds on what Pope John Paul II says of the culture of death, in Evangelium Vitae, which was used twelve times in the encyclical 7. He describes it as the value system that tolerates violation of the human life and dignity of the weak whenever their protection 3 Cecille Suerte Felipe, Election violence: 35 killed so far, Philippine Star, May 7, 2013, killed-so-far (accessed June 25, 2013). 4 Ibid. 5 Karen Boncocan, RH Bill finally signed into law, Philippine Daily Inquirer, December 28, 2012, (accessed June 25, 2013). 6 John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae 12, March 25, 1995, ium-vitae_en.html (accessed June 25, 2013) 7 David Hollenbach, The Gospel of Life and the Culture of Death: A Response to John Conley, in Choosing Life: A Dialogue on Evangelium Vitae (Washingotn D.C.: Georgetown University Press, 1997, 37.
