A Film Analysis of Human sexuality
By Rolland B. Hayag
The movie was emotionally appealing, but I was so intrigue by the character played by Clint Eastwood (Robert), though he was a quiet, simple and freelance photographer, he manage to lure the woman(Meryl Streep) into a trap by taking advantage of her weakness of being lonely and dissatisfied. How rude you can be if you know that the person is lonely and dissatisfied, then you see this opportunity to gain advantage of that woman to satisfied yourself, remember Clint’s Character is a person who is experience with women, because he travels a lot in different places for he is a photographer, and also remember that he said he experience different women when Fenny (Meryl) ask her about it. Yet his conscience and fear work when he realized that it will be troublesome if the town’s people knew about their unrecognized relationship. But still it is a question of his intention, is it really about for the best of that woman or it is for the shame he might have?
Well going back to the issue of taking advantage of the woman’s weakness, as a counselor or a pastor a lot of people or members of the church, or very beautiful and attractive woman may come with the same emotional unbalance, are you the one who will fill up the urge or you are the one who will advise her to talk to her husband about it?
Now let me retell the scene, I don’t believed that the husband of that woman is insensitive as what the other would say, twice he ask her saying “what’s wrong fenny?” and second time he ask her saying “what’s wrong please tell me?”, then the woman answered “I just need a minute, Richard” and then the man gave her space and time, in my experience, not in all times you can remember and recall all the event at all times, after her husband ask her twice and they got home, things are forgotten when the man’s kid called his attention when they got home, then remember she immediately hide and cried in the corner of their kitchen, that was almost at the scene.
In the end scene, Richard say to fenny when he was bedridden “I Love you” and say “sorry” he knew fenny had a dream, and he cannot and have not given it to her, with some reason, there are time in our married life not all the things we dream can be fulfilled due to lack of resources, and not all the reason is because we don’t strive. My conclusion to Richard, “he is a man who is sensitive enough, in many ways but not the way she expected”, the same “a man can be sensitive in many ways, but not the way you expected”.
In the fall of man in the book of Genesis, though Adam pointed out that Eve tempted him of the fruit of lust (Knowledge of Pleasure) and Eve pointed to the snake they both sinned in God’s presence, remember it was not Adam was thrown out from the Garden of Eden but also Eve. If God declares that Adam was the only person sinned God should have given Eve another partner (Man) but instead they both suffer on the consequences their decision.
My conclusion to Fenny, she was weak at first, yet strong and determined, as you have watched in the middle scene, while it was raining and Robert was waiting outside his truck, the woman realized that it can be a trap, that she cannot lose herself till it will be too late, though she feels the certainty of her decision, about going out with Robert, she decided not to, yet it was not clear of why she didn’t , but I can say it is because of her family, that is why. Fearless, No! She was afraid and confuse of what might or would happen.
My conclusion to Robert, well maybe I will not be imprisoned in telling this, well maybe some violent reaction, with the people who love’s Robert, no offense, but I love to say this he was the snake, who come over and said eat this fruit of lust (fruit of pleasure), come with me, come away with me (Roberts word) and satisfy yourself. In the Filipino context if your where invited to my house and welcome to my house then you take advantage of my wife” you will be called snake “Ahas Ka!”. THE END

1. Parables
1.1 Tenants of the Vineyard: According to Matthew, Mark and Luke.
The parable is intended to those people who are greedy of wealth and abuses the given authority and power, who mistakenly justify their deeds and by making promises that they will do it, yet their real purpose of making promises is to divert the owners attention, it is like a delaying tactics. Secondly, this tenant was already caught in the act of doing an unthinkable action, but the tenant gets through it, 5 times he murdered a person, the forth one is that the owner sent many yet still, they get killed by this tenants. 3rd God is the owner of all creation, and Jesus was the son of the owner that was slain, and the prophets and apostles are the 4th people mentioned also were slain. In our present time this thing happens almost every day, especially about our farmers, unconsciously and consciously people tend to sin by being greedy, making a lot of money in expense of other people, I was once a farmer in Nueva Ecija, Munoz, and I feel pity on the people who work in the field who will have just a few harvest because of the calamity that hits Nueva Ecija and after that here comes the middleman asking for a lesser price, so he can gain more, when they sell it in another place, this is for me another kind of taking advantage of people. Each country has its own leader to manage, that in my view they are Gods chosen leader, God is the owner.
Many times I tried and attempted to speak of this truth in the communities that I serve, and most of them, in my observation people tend to ignore it. Maybe action speak louder than the voice when you practice it, eventually people will follow, but in most cases, people just watch you do it and do nothing, well a good tenant act in the wishes of the a good owner.
1.2 Workers in the Vineyard: according to Matthew
The Spiritual Gospel focus on the aspect of sinners who are late comers and a sinner who are Jews, the people first chosen by God and in the kingdom of God everyone are equal either they are late comers or not. Yet in Social Gospel, speak of Gods kingdom acting on this world, where all People should have equal rights and blessings, there is truth about this in our world today, but still people are reluctant to act, because of Greed and fear. In the feeding of the five Thousand, a child act without doubt, gave his bread and fish, even without thinking of what will be left for me, if I gave my share.
Here in the Philippines, almost everyone who work in the offices and factories are employed in an agency, who supply man power to a big companies, which I experience to have below minimum wage, with a contract of 6 months only, after that I needed to apply again, I am a graduate on a unknown school, so my promotion in my work is not available for me and the worst thing happen when I did not received my last month salary, due to the agency owners death, but I never saw his body, thus the Business Company feared that they will lose their income or it is greed that made them act unjustly.
Most Churches are threatened by the economic problem, expenses are being observed by the members, workers salary are delayed and travelling allowance are remove from the budget, and lately members argue if they needed to have an additional workers and the answer is no. The Idea of Unified Earnings is promising, in other terms it is a centralize Salary and this Idea is common. It was already been discuss and it was not decided yet by our annual conference. Late or first comer, Elder or newly graduate pastors will received the same salary, and let us removed the other idea of putting a level or category in giving salary. This is my Idea of kingdom of God according to Luke.
The church should practice this kind of system removing the separation and differentiations among fellow believers for we are the same a servant of God.
2. Biblical Narratives
2.1 The Fall
In this Creation story the women is the champion not simply because the women pave a way for sinning so that they will realized that they are naked, the champion is Eve, in reality women suffer most in giving birth, gives pleasure to men, but is this really the reason why women is created, remember that women is given to men to be his companion, not only for sex companion, men uses the snake for alibi of his lustful thought, who is sinful, in patriarchal thinking that a men justify his sin as you remember too, Adam denies that he, who first sin, he blame eve, “because of eve seduce me to eat the fruit” then each one pin pointed each other until they blamed the snake. Yet the snake was quite.
2.2 Ruth, Naomi, and Orpah
In this narrative I cannot choose who is the hero and who is the villain, I admire women in the bible and women of present for their sincerity, yet it is between choices of what is the priority of your life, Orpah might have bigger responsibility in the house of her parents so she go back, she might have a family to return to, except Ruth because it was not mentioned, only the word of Naomi “go back to your mother, yet I believed Orpah have compassion to Naomi, she even cried, all of them are hero redeemer in a sense that they all felt the importance of each and everyone , Naomi said “Go home” sensible to the needs of the two, Orpah cried yet follow Naomi’s advise to do her rule, Ruth felt the needs of Naomi, a need of companion.
3. Character of Bible, Identifying myself
The Good Samaritan, this Parable is my most favorite Children bible stories, and it becomes my basis in living. I gladly help other people without question, though I know some are making advantages of my kindness, but I also know that through the act of kindness will stricken and awaken their heart and mind to do good things. Luke 10:25-37
25. And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and put Him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
26. And He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?"
27. And he answered and said, "You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with your entire mind; and your neighbor as yourself."
Jesus expounds on the law of love. True love is put into action. It is not merely at concept or a feeling. If we are to do this, we will quickly find that we are incapable of completing a perfect love. In doing so I was compel to be in this vocation so I can do more, since the law requires perfect obedience.
4. Theological Education/ Critical Asian Principle
First let me Identify the Nature and Characteristic of Asia wherein it was also mentioned in the article of Nacpil on Critical Asian principle that The South East Asian Education has a territorial characteristic, according to him that perhaps it is possible to mention at least seven features which are characteristic, without being exhaustive and detailed.
It was first mentioned that plurality and diversity in races, peoples, cultures, social, Institutions, religions, ideologies, etc., characterize this region. Secondly, most countries in this region have a colonial Experience. Thirdly, most of the countries in this region are now in the process of nation-building, development, and modernization. They want to modernize through the use of science and technology. They want to develop and achieve economic growth, social justice, and self-reliance. Fourthly the peoples of this region want to achieve authentic self-identity and cultural integrity in the context of the modern world. I pause only up to fourth Characteristics that are mentioned in the article, this four are more significant in classifying the strength and weaknesses.
Though the word of “etc.” included in the sentence, but it was never mentioned that communication is the most important aspect to be include in this characteristic, each country has different dialects in Philippine alone got more than 20 dialects, even though the national language is Tagalog, most of the Filipino prefer English, which is adapted because of colonial experience, which is the second Characteristic. Many Filipino’s prefer English, because they feel it was easier to express themselves, some are just for social status, the other is for internationally means of communication, which is a tool for our development and modernization.
Some feared to speak tagalog dialect, rather than speaking English language, especially the Visayan, I grew up in Davao even in Cebu, that most of the people there do not want to speak tagalog, but they are fluent in English, yet in that place it is a strength, I should say, because it helps them to understand the cultural differences locally and internationally, yet is it a weakness if they will lose their Identity as Filipino because of the language? In the United states, the English language is common, it differs only in their tone and shortcut words, such as “you all” in Indiana, “all of you” in Chicago, and “ya’ll” in Tennessee, but still they are the same in meaning, but easily to be understood, whereas in “kayong Lahat” Tagalog, “Kamong Tanang” Visaya, “Eh kongan” Kapampangan, are the same in meaning same as you all, yet different dialects, it could be confusing, if only all Filipino will set aside all dialects and embrace tagalog. There was an issue, in 1980’s if my memory serves me right, President Marcos almost declared that Cebuano dialect will become the national language, for me it will be more difficult to accept.
I finish my elementary in University of southern Mindanao, kabakan north Cotabato and I don’t know how the North and south Cotabato’s adapted the mixed up dialect, where you find the birth of a new dialect, they called BILOGALOG, (bisaya, ilokano, tagalog), the common sentence that I remember, is when we cross the river just to go to the other churches, you can hear people asking you in tagalog “Saan ka pupunta” and the other person would answer “ Diay Kabilang Banger” redundant words yet they still understand each other. Well my final words are though we have differences our strength is that we are adaptive to situations and we have common goal which is to develop and achieve economic growth, social justice, and self-reliance. This is the third Characteristic. In spite of differences in culture, dialects and language, we have the freedom worship in this country, Philippines, that everyone has freedom of expressing their faith among fellowmen.
5. Understanding the Church Ministry
Transforming our church into a messianic approach can be difficult, for how many years, Filipino are already engage to new era of worship and mission where their principle, is the principle is the commandment given to the disciples to go and baptize and make them disciples of all nation in Matt,28 . Interpreting differently, it was interpreted as to propagate religion not the goodness of God, blinded of the truth most of the Mission in the churches and members in the church are oriented in the thinking that the reason you do mission is to baptized gathered people to be a member so the tithes and pledges, will be enough to continue the church organization, and it is true.
This is not a church ministry that I vision, where your mission is based on concreting the four corners of the church building. It is churches that goes out and give their arms to the needy and the oppressed, the poor and the hungry, then and then you are worthy to be called the follower Of Jesus Christ

The Life of Brian
A Film Analysis for BS Method
By Rolland B. Hayag
Too Hilarious! I almost farted and pee on my pants while laughing out loud, oh well even though it was so funny it depicted the life of humanity how scrupulous and stupendous misinterpreted the prediction of the coming of Christ, but the questions is which is which, does the first coming of Christ is really over? or it is the faith of the Jewish is true that the first coming is not over yet. Is Jesus the known Christ is the real one or not? Or just like the Filipino Rizalian faith is more convincing as to be Christ than Jesus?
There are people in some provinces such as in mount Apo where I stayed for almost 2 weeks, in Davao Mountain Province, there is a person who claim to be the Christ that will save them from the end of the earth, that the second coming has already come, they created caves and houses inside the mountain where the Volcano is active and can erupt any time and the first to die would be them. All the people in the new Israel which they called their town believed him, yet the end of the world he promised in the year 2000 has never been seen, yet some claimed the signs of time, is now and here.
This person believed that he was the messiah, he show his hollow hands and said I am Christ. When Noah in the bible story of the great flood, he also warned the people yet they are skeptical and most of them laugh at him, the only difference is he did not claimed to be Christ just an instrument to warned the people, but one thing is common we always find someone to be a hero or a leader, that will lead us to a promise land, that will say I am the Christ who will deliver you from the cruelty of this earth. In our present time most of the people do the same we laugh, we mock those people who tell this warning, though they might be wrong in predicting when will it happen, but I do believed there is an end to all things, so here is my prediction but don’t mistook me as a Christ.
Why I said there is an end to all things? well First , there is signs of time, fuel are or may not be extinct, but it is coming to its end of supply because of the demand, second people are becoming greedy of money converting fertile land into real states, the third is the most shocking truth, yesterday one of the satellite telescope of the NASA deep space mission was damaged on its way to space due to a light wave from a two spiral galaxy same as the milky way, collided with each other, end up into the destruction of all the worlds in that galaxy. This sounded like a fictional movies, yet it is a reality that can happen to us.
I rather have Jesus Christ, than nothing and no one to give me hope, to look forward and lead me into righteousness, so I can always see the bright side of life and the light side of life which is a song sung by one of the character who is also hanged in the cross.
Well we can consider the bright side of death, you will not have any more to think and worry about, when you are dead.

Brokeback Mountain
A Film Analysis for Human sexuality
By Rolland B. Hayag
If I remember it right, this film is the most intriguing and controversial of all the movies that I have watched. This is not just a movie that was created and made by imagination, it is a true to life portrayal about people with same sex who got married to a woman, yet still they cannot escape on the truth that they are trap with the feminine emotion and feelings.
I have a friend whose named was Carding Flores, he was once a full pledge gay, with a long hair, and with a big boobs, produced by the doctors he paid for injections, and now in present he is married to a woman, and they have son and daughter, he spoke and re-tell his story in the church and in one of the radio ministry of the United Methodist church, he said that to turn back from being gay is hard but he said my wife turn me now what I am, his hair is cut already and with a man’s muscle breast not a woman breast. He continue saying this though I was change into a man still I have the urge to find a man. Yet he knew he feels guilty of sinning against God and his wife, but he fight not to go back from what he was before.
Now, reflecting on the two guys being in love with each other, Jack and Ian? Oh I think not. not all women may understand the urge and lust of men; either it was a sexual urge for man or women, no offense but for discussion only, I am a man and my sexual urge is for an opposite sex, if gay has to find same sex two kind of man will answer to this call, one who is also a gay, and the other one is looking for money. Remember at the end scene, the other guy refuses to have sex with the other (Jack cliff), so he finds another solution for his lust.
Ian and Jack committed an act of deception against their wife and their family, maybe it feels the same when a man have relationship with another women, then if your wife will know it, it will hurt her badly.
At the beginning of the scene they portray a roll of man being strong and hardworking, well it is not only the measure of manhood, but when it comes to the identifying your manhood, there is determination and decision that you are man enough to have a sexual urge to an opposite sex. If sex is Gods given gift then I believed it is part of his plan to enjoyed it in an opposite sex,
If the question is, “Gays are not mentioned in the bible”, well here is a theory, considering this, if I where God, why should I bothered putting an article about gays, when I knew that the only thing I knew that I created is man and women, though I (God) have no gender too, in humans views, I (God) specifically put a specific kind of creation man and women. In the article written by Melvin Rhodes that Marriage is a constant theme throughout the Bible, as we might expect it to be. After all, the Bible is largely about human relationships, and none is as fundamental as marriage.
At the beginning, when God created Adam, the first man, He said: "It is not good that man should be alone" (Genesis 2:18). God created for him a female companion, Eve, meaning "life" or "living," for "she was the mother of all living" (Genesis 3:20).
God's plan for the male and female sexes is then clearly instituted: "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). In joining them as man and wife, the Creator of mankind instituted marriage. In the next verse Adam and Eve are clearly described as a married couple: "And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed" (verse 25).
Thousands of years later we see the covenant relationship between God and the nation of Israel, whom He had chosen, likened to the marital relationship (Isaiah 54:5; Jeremiah 3:14).
In the New Testament, Jesus Christ reinforces the special relationship between a husband and wife: "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,' and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate" (Matthew 19:4-6). If Jesus knew that God created gays and lesbian, he should have not mentioned this, but in theory he knew that God created man and wife.
The sexual act mentioned in the Old Testament bible particularly about the sexual morality, the act of lust and practice in a sex temple, is more likely about a "sodomite." male prostitute, who do unnatural act, it could be anal or anything that is not common in sexual desires, but what is moral and what is not, when a gay or lesbian get married what comes next, honeymoon and sex is to be considered but the question is how, most common sex act in gays are anal sex.
In the New Testament, in the letter of Paul to the Corinthians, it says “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortionist, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” (1 Corinthians 9-10). But still it doesn’t make sense about the word effeminate is he mentioning about the gays or the act itself.
Looking to this scenario, deep in the Jungle of the Amazon, Amazon women live there, where no men can go, men have no rights, and they will be beheaded if they cross the borderline. Another scenario all men are now gays and women have no rights, they are gun down by this gays if they cross the borderline, this scenarios are movie depiction in the late 1980’s, that possibly can happen.
The Gays and lesbians are human to be considered as part of the community for they are created in the likeness of God but what do we have to considered, which is likeness of God and which is not, well like professor Velunta would say read your bible and pray every day and you will know what the bible says.
Hope by reading this will not judges me but see this as my faith.

If I remember it right, this film is the most intriguing and controversial of all the movies that I have watched. This is not just a movie that was created and made by imagination, it is a true to life portrayal about people with same sex who got married to a woman, yet still they cannot escape on the truth that they are trap with the feminine emotion and feelings.
I have a friend whose named was Carding Flores, he was once a full pledge gay, with a long hair, and with a big boobs, produced by the doctors he paid for injections, and now in present he is married to a woman, and they have son and daughter, he spoke and re-tell his story in the church and in one of the radio ministry of the United Methodist church, he said that to turn back from being gay is hard but he said my wife turn me now what I am, his hair is cut already and with a man’s muscle breast not a woman breast. He continue saying this though I was change into a man still I have the urge to find a man. Yet he knew he feels guilty of sinning against God and his wife, but he fight not to go back from what he was before.
Now, reflecting on the two guys being in love with each other, Jack and Ian? Oh I think not. not all women may understand the urge and lust of men; either it was a sexual urge for man or women, no offense but for discussion only, I am a man and my sexual urge is for an opposite sex, if gay has to find same sex two kind of man will answer to this call, one who is also a gay, and the other one is looking for money. Remember at the end scene, the other guy refuses to have sex with the other (Jack cliff), so he finds another solution for his lust.
Ian and Jack committed an act of deception against their wife and their family, maybe it feels the same when a man have relationship with another women, then if your wife will know it, it will hurt her badly.
At the beginning of the scene they portray a roll of man being strong and hardworking, well it is not only the measure of manhood, but when it comes to the identifying your manhood, there is determination and decision that you are man enough to have a sexual urge to an opposite sex. If sex is Gods given gift then I believed it is part of his plan to enjoyed it in an opposite sex,
If the question is, “Gays are not mentioned in the bible”, well here is a theory, considering this, if I where God, why should I bothered putting an article about gays, when I knew that the only thing I knew that I created is man and women, though I (God) have no gender too, in humans views, I (God) specifically put a specific kind of creation man and women.

MOA between the GRP and the MILF
Reflection Paper on the BS Method
By Rolland B. Hayag
How can we define terrorism? From the root word terror, well it is clear and well defined by the root word terror meaning fear. Fear of what death and hunger? Fear of losing a family or friends, which one? Our brothers Muslim are our blood family not only in biblical history but also a part of the Filipino people, yet there are question arising about the reason why they kill for what they believed in. do they have the same aspect of preserving life, do they have the same thought that we are brothers and we are not enemies, how thus churches faces such act, does our church have to condemn their action towards not only Christians but also to their fellow Muslims.
The speaker mention that one of the major player on the agreement between the MILF and GRP process is the United States of America, how come you need their advise when we know they are not Filipino, and the one who requested help from the US is Hasim Salamat, and the only thing that was in this agreement is about our land, the ancestral land, the US do not own our land, Hasim has no right to let other country mingled in our political and internal issues, it will become a practice for other countries to mingled with our problems. Well unless there is self interest. Well each one have their self interest and deceiving thought we thought their interest is for everybody, but in other way it can be their own benifit.
Remember the MNLF also ask for ancestral domain, and then they have been given that right, and it was not over, after them, here comes another group asking for their own the MILF, I am not selfish to give it but here is the question are we all have the right to claim too for we are all Filipino, my blood line has Tausog, what if I ask for my ancestral land, another will ask it again.
The same scenario in Marawi City in their land no Christian is allowed to express their religion, what if the ancestral land which they ask is the Mindanao that happens when MNLF fights for their right and this law was implemented what does our Million Christian fellowmen will think, they will fight with the same reason.
Anscestral domain? Well If I remember my history lesson right , the Aetas are the first Filipino in this Island Philippines, then what if they claim the whole Philippines archipelago, well it is just a thought that could happened.
My final word,” it is better to live in a world with peace, that God has created for all humans, to share with, to care with, without destroying and killing each other”

Unforgiven
A Film Analysis for BS Method
By Rolland B. Hayag
Ah this is great! A Fernando Poe or Erap and Lito Lapid Jr a kind of movie, where all enemy dies in the hands of one men, and a hero at the end. Looking in the scene of this movie, it is clear that at the beginning of the movie, a lot of people are being judge and imprison due to their ignorant of the law as you can see that there was a sign saying no liquor at the vicinity of town. Is it justifiable to imprison a man due to his ignorance, is it applicable that there is no exception to the rules. In some countries law is bended even in our country, in this movie, the law is only benefited the powerful and the strong, those are the men in the town and the women are powerless, especially when you are a whore.
Money rules in this place, and the thinking with their own time, law is your own to decide you put it in your hand, but still in our time it is still happening, that even people in the government do the same they put the law in their hand. They can bother other people and in just one command they can manipulate some other people to work for them.
I see myself on a character who is a writer, who has been writing all the lives of all the people I encountered, telling the stories of other people. I love telling their life story because it reflected me as well; it is like being a part of their experience and life, promoting something that is valued. As a pastor we promote our fate among believer, base on our experience and others life history.
