“…This is the reason why they enter into panata. Flagellants engage in spiritual preparations before they perform in pamagdarame (Sarmiento et al, 2017).…”

“…As compared to other forms of flagellation, being a Kristo would entail a longer engagement as shown by the findings. Only few flagellants engaged in crucifixion (Sarmiento et al, 2017). These flagellants may probably consider crucifixion as part of the process of ritual making which leads them to spiritual growth (O'Murchu, 2015).…”

“…However, in the Philippines, every Holy Week especially in the province of Pampanga, some Kapampangan penitents locally called magdarame (self-flagellants) are performing flagellations so as to imitate Christ in his sufferings also known as Pamagdarame (self-flagellation). These unusual practices of Kapampangan penitents include carrying of crosses (mamusan krus); bleeding and whipping their backs (mamalaspas); crawling on hot pavement and dirty roads (magsalibatbat); and nailing on the cross (kristos) (Marasigan, 2015;Sarmiento et al, 2017;Tiatco & Bonifacio-Ramolete, 2008).…”

“…Cornelio (2014) used ethnography in dealing with experiences of everyday authenticity for those who engaged in the crucifixion ritual. Lastly, Sarmiento et al (2017) looked into the forms, reasons and preparations of the Kapampangan flagellants. On the onset, spirituality has been highlighted in the study since the majority of the participants mentioned that they prepared themselves spiritually by praying and living in solitude before they did the act.…”

In the province of Pampanga, Philippines, Holy Week is one of the highlighted seasons of the year. Seemingly, during this time, there are a number of flagellants (called ‘Kristos’) who want to be crucified as a form of penitence and supplication. However, after a thorough search of published literature, the researchers found a dearth in the body of knowledge focusing on the experiences of these flagellants. Therefore, this interpretative phenomenological study sought to unearth and interpret the lived experiences of Kapampangan Kristos. Five (5) Kristos voluntarily participated in the individual face-to-face interview using semi-structured questions. Findings revealed that there are three (3) superordinate themes namely: prosaic family life, spiritual drift, and looking back-moving forward reflection. Recommendation for future research undertakings to consider in-depth psychological analysis on the lived experiences of Kristos.

“…On the surface, pakikisama is about getting along with others (Catechism for Filipino Catholics, 1997, #792;National Catechetical Directory of the Philippines, 1985, #28); more deeply, it is an authentic appreciation of being together, where unity and harmony are evident (Macaraan, 2019). There is also pakikiramay, or empathy, expressed in emotional mutual assistance when in need (Sarmiento, Sibug, Lumanlan, Bonus, & Samia, 2017). From pakikisama and pakikiramay develop pagkakaisa, or communal oneness (Lanaria, 2014).…”

This paper investigates Catholic religious practices and Filipino values in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic. It aims to show that religious practices conducted with proper social distancing help in the development of a renewed understanding of Filipino values without contributing to the spread of the virus. This qualitative study makes use of expository writing and content analysis. First, religious practices before the pandemic marked by maximum social interaction are presented. Then, the paper shows religious practices during the pandemic marked by social distancing. Thirdly, the paper looks into how Filipino values are recontextualized in relation to religious practices despite the need for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Ultimately, the researchers claim that those who participate in religious practices with social distancing do not contribute to the transmission of the virus while still developing a renewed understanding of Filipino values.
