Comments on the issue (culled from “Kulo artist snubs Senate hearing”, by Marvin Sy, The Philippine Star, August 17, 2011)

 
1. Jinggoy Estrada, Senate president pro tempore and Vicente Sotto III, Senate majority leader

Senate President Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada and Senate Majority leader Vicente Sotto III led in castigating the CCP for reportedly offending the religious sensibilities of Catholics by allowing the “blasphemous” work of Cruz to be displayed in a state-run institution.

2. Raul Pangalangan, former dean of the University of the Philippines College of Law

While the controversy over Cruz’s work has centered on the religious aspect, constitutional experts noted that its legal aspect should also be addressed, particularly the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

Raul Pangalangan, former dean of the University of the Philippines College of Law, pointed out that there were two Supreme Court decisions on the issue of religiously offensive speech.

In both cases, Pangalangan noted that the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the party accused of making offensive speech.

“What is at stake here is a different kind of violation of freedom of speech. In this case what we are dealing with is censorship, prior restraint. From the discussion this morning, my own sense, and this is my own opinion, is that the art piece in question is speech and therefore entitled to the protection of the freedom of speech clause,” he said.

3. Florin Hilbay, UP College of Law professor

UP College of Law professor Florin Hilbay agreed that Cruz should have exercised his freedom of speech more responsibly but emphasized that this right is guaranteed under the Constitution.

“Whether Mideo Cruz can express himself the way he did is a constitutional non-issue. As a matter of constitutional law, the right of Cruz to express himself through Politeismo is recognized by the Constitution that gives him freedom of expression and requires Philippine society to separate church and State,” Hilbay said.

“The responsible exercise of that right is a matter of opinion, ideology, faith and even temperament. Even if only because Mideo’s expression allows us the opportunity to reconsider our fundamental belief, which sadly a lot of people are unable to appreciate, we should protect his expression,” he added.

4. Fr. Pablo Tiong O.P., UST vice rector and Archbishop Jose Palma, CBCP vice president

But critics of Cruz’s work such as the UST administration, represented by vice rector Fr. Pablo Tiong O.P. and the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines, represented by its vice president Archbishop Jose Palma, argued that the freedom of expression is not absolute.

Tiong said that the exhibit was not sanctioned by the UST and that the institution considers the work of Cruz offensive to Catholics and the Catholic religion.

Palma said that moral criteria must always be applied on the subject of art.

He said that the Church condemns the artistic portrayal of the image of Jesus Christ as immoral but does not condemn the artist himself.

5. F. Sionil Jose, national artist for literature

National artist for literature F. Sionil Jose, for his part, argued that Cruz’s work was not art.

“All art is propaganda but not all propaganda is art,” he said.

6. Edgardo Angara, chairman of the Senate committee on education, arts and culture

Angara said that it was enough for him to hear that the CCP is undertaking some reforms as a result of the controversy and that yesterday’s hearing would be the last because the legal process should be allowed to take its due course.

7. Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, Manila archbishop

For Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales, Cruz committed a “sin” against God because of his blasphemous exhibit.

In a circular titled “’Prayer of Reparation’ for the Sin of Sacrilege and Blasphemy” issued yesterday, Cardinal Rosales declared Aug. 26, a Friday, a “Day of Penance” at the Archdiocese of Manila wherein Masses would be offered for the forgiveness of sins.

Aside from requiring Mass celebrants to wear purple vestments, “we also encourage everyone to perform an act of penance or sacrifice on this day, such as fasting or other forms of mortification, as an expression of remorse for the sins committed against God’s majesty.”

The “Day of Penance” is one of the highlights of the week-long “Prayer of Reparation” from Aug. 21 to Aug. 28.

“In the past weeks we have witnessed the uproar created by the exhibit of art works by the Cultural Center of the Philippines purportedly on modern art mixed media installations on contemporary themes. Many agree that the work over-reached the boundaries of freedom of expression. Most say it is offensive and a great affront to Catholics and Christians, and to all people who value decency. To them the work is ‘trash.’ And we agree,” Cardinal Rosales said.
