Moral Decay in the Philippines
Moral Decay
Paul L. Fuentes
We Filipinos are very sensible. Look how the recent putsch was lambasted in the newspaper. Lettersfrom the readers swarmed indicating that we cannot tolerate the cowardly and senseless killing of soldiers and civilians, wasted ammunitions, and budding economyagain jeopardized. We condemn the former regime, its havoc upon our lives. We condemn graft and corruption, so rampant; we condemn the violation of human rights allegedly committed against the leader of Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT); we condemn everything that is foul, inhuman, unjust, impure, indecent.
But look at the kind of movies and TV programs we go after; display of sex acts—under the guise of art, nude bodies, violent sex, fornication, adultery, vengeance, magical arts, sorcery, myths. Even an ordinary comedy sit-com is rated "Parental Guidance." Is that wholesome entertainment?
You can glean from the entertainment that we are so crazy about what kind of people we truly are. Instead of censorship, awards were given to this filth.
The female body has become the hottest and fastest selling commodity, raking millions of profits for the movie industry, print, liquor and wine.
Every time a sex-oriented movie goes out for showing we are buying our own ticket to moral degradation, anarchy, and even destruction from VD epidemic, like what happened to Majuro Marshall Islandwhere more than one out of ten have VD. Homosexuality is now enjoined in full swing. Love of money just like lust of flesh is insatiable. The chain has already been started; we wonder when it will end and how. Then we aspire for peace and order and goodwill? Are we worthy?
A poverty-stricken Filipino bombarded with filthy movies, how will he react?
Concerned Women of the Philippines, Rotary Club, Philippine Alliance of Human Rights Advocates, we appeal to you. Will you remain indifferent?
