The research will be divided into several parts. First, the writer will posit an operational definition of Bayanihan and its relation to the notion of Sakop in the context of Leonardo Mercado's analysis on the Filipino people and society. In it, Bayanihan is the term for the communal spirit of the Filipino which correlates with Sakop as the term for the interpersonal orientation of the Filipino people. Second, the writer will discuss Filipino Religiosity that harmonizes the sacred and profane while holding it distinct from one another. This implies the inseparability of religion to the life of the Filipino people to the point that it is incarnational. Third, the writer will attempt to show that Bayanihan calls the Sakop and Religiosity within the Filipino people in times of disasters. Scenarios will be given accordingly. Here, the writer does not argue that Bayanihan does not manifest in the everyday situations of other people. In fact, it does. However, the manifestation is stronger when disasters are present for it evokes the feeling within to help the others and to call for help to the Divine.

The author of this paper saw that Hick's hybrid Christology does not consider the theological underpinnings of Christology. As a result, the author argued for a careful hermeneutic study; if the theological context is considered first before proceeding to philosophical context, the probability of a better judgement increases.
