Humanism is quite a new concept in the Philippines. A few atheists have been propagating their ignorance about the meaning of humanism. They think humanism is all about giving, charity or humanitarianism.
I am a Christian and a humanist. I’m proud of it.
to me is empowerment and enlightenment ; the belief that human beings
are not only their own heroes, but each other’s. It is doing good
because it is what people deserve rather than what theology dictates.
Humanism is believing in one’s and each other’s worth. It is empowering others and oneself, not enabling or becoming a doormat. Humanism
is knowing you aren’t perfect–it is acknowledging that we have
weaknesses and that there are things in the world we have no control
over, but still trying to engage in a genuine dialogue and making a
genuine effort to effect change.
Rose D. Musong Humanism,
for me, is believing that the only way for us to acheive peace and
harmony in this world is to allow other people to grow and acheive the
best quality of life they could possibly have.
Jahziel Tayco Ferrer Humanism is putting humanity and human rights before any creed or dogma.
Marco Mendoza Human welfare
(Life & Love) and the understanding of our home environment is the center of my focus and empathy. I see a brotherhood of mankind unnecessarily separated by ignorance and lack of empathy. My Humanism is the connectedness of the greater family. My enemies are tactics of division, manipulation, and power that seeks to dehumanize our lives and destroy our home planet.
Benru Ramesis For me humanism is giving and sharing what you have to others without expecting anything in return, and preparing this world to a better one for the future of our next generation, free from religion, free from nationality, races and beliefs..
