Reflection Paper

This documentary mainly tackles about pre-marital sex and what they think of it.
Where
Filipinas and other people think that the Philippines lack sex education because the church has
control over women’s health and sex education as said in the documentary and before there
are some parties that want to implement sex education in the Academe so that the cases of
teenage pregnancy will diminish somehow. There was a quote from Michelet, “Woman is a
miracle of divine contradictions”. From what I have understood after this quote, According to
Benitez, That Filipinas are confused and misunderstood women because there was a time that
the Filipinas were taught to be timid but on the other hand, the western culture has taught us to
be modern in such a way that we are more liberal in the way we dress and look; some examples
of these contradicting attitudes for example in the Philippine Television where actresses wear
minimal clothing which shows that on one hand you’re dressing in a sexy way but on the other,
you are acting as if you are very modest and timid. This documentary pertains both on women
and the view of men towards women because there are some men who view women as an
object of pleasure and that they can do anything to them. This pertains to women because to
make them aware of what can happen if they cannot defend themselves to the ones who are
going to sexually harass them. The person who made this advocacy is one of the people who
are aware of the rising ignorance of the Filipinas and I think that the personality of the person is
concerned and curious at the same time because the person wants to spread the ideas. The
possible target audience is the Filipinas mainly teenagers and the ones who are working abroad
since they were one of the examples given in the documentary.
One of the supporting points of the thesis statement is that the Church has control over
the health and sex education of women. I think this is like the RH bill when the church is
contradicting the values of the culture because it is against “God’s will” and it is not legal and
they do not believe that it is not very effective and the people should just pro-create. We all
know that pre-marital sex is a sin but there are already many teenagers who engage to it.
Another is lack of sex education since there are more people in the minority who cannot
get a good education like other people where the school has certain topics that tackle those kind
of topics which the students will know more about pre-marital sex and Filipinas in the modern
age wouldn’t be that ignorant in that topic.
Lastly, the media has one of the very big impacts on the masses because other than
entertainment it is also informs and when the people see the sexy dances and sexy outfits on tv
and they can be imitated by the teenagers and the kids who watch those kind of tv shows
because the person who is doing or wearing that is their idol.
I agree on everything that was said on the documentary because in the generation today
more and more people especially teenagers engage in PMS and they should be more aware on
the things that can happen if they would engage in those kinds of action. I wouldn’t omit any
phrases because everything is very informative and students/teenagers like me can learn a lot
of things that we can imply in the future.
To sum it all up, I think the video should be spread virally to make Filipinas more aware
of what can happen if they are ignorant about the things that can happen it is also said in the
video that “Ignorance is not an excuse” this is right because if they say that they are ignorant the
people would just say that it is not an excuse since they should have known better and they
should know the right from wrong since they can reason out already. It also encourages that the
Filipinas should be the ones who would be in charge of their own lives and they should protect
themselves from any danger that they would be in. The speaker just wants the people to be
more aware of the situation of some Filipinas.
