Panata

In my opinion, the one who recorded the video didn’t miss anything or he filmed everything. And I think he/she just filmed what their community would collectively do for PANATA and I can say that he/she tried to present the issues fairly.

The only strength I can see in this work is that most people that would watch this video might have an idea about the event so there is a little need of supplying information about the video. On the other hand, some really search for information so this video would be useless for them.

If we are talking about PANATA, the video is very much incomplete. This is because there are also different ways in achieving a particular goal or mission that of which constitutes a person’s panata. Like going to various churches all around the country, praying set-prayers at set times of the day, and many more.

I think that it is a bad choice to watch the video because it gives the idea that it is alright for people to suffer in a self-inflicted pain manner and it is alright for someone to cause you pain.

I dislike the video because I don’t really agree to the idea of penance in the manner of repeating what Jesus had experienced. I mean, Jesus sacrificed His life to save us from our sins and the judgment the people around us might bestow us. So doing what He did before means like we are disregarding the suffering He made for us.

A common tradition is to go through the Stations of the Cross but in this video, the crucifixion wasn’t done and after the flagellation and, they did their penance during the “pabasa” and they went to the altar made for the “pabasa” after the flagellation.
