Ano ang mali sa Pride? Bakit ba ito tinawag na most deadly sin? Makinig sa episode na ito dahil iyan mismo ang ating topic. Two weeks ago ay naglabas ng commercial ang McDo kung saan depicted ang lesbian couple. Nagtawag ako ng #boycottMcdo that week. Over ba? I'll explain in this episode why a boycott is called for. Also in this episode, we read quotes from C.S. Lewis' book Mere Christianity on the sin of Pride. Masama bang maging proud sa anak mong High Honors? Masama bang maging proud of being Pinoy? Ano ang kinaiba nito sa LGBTQ+ Pride Month? Lahat ng iyan ay ating sasagutin sa THE JAY ARUGA SHOW: Protecting the Filipino Family from Woke Ideology.

Do you get the feeling that Woke content these days seems like they are targeting kids more? You are not imagining things, they really are. BETHANY MANDEL dropped by the podcast to talk about how our kids' innocence is being stolen.

Ano pa ang pwede nating gawin upang malabanan ang Gender Ideology? May ilan akong suggestion sa episode na ito. Medyo mahirap, but it's worth a try. It worked in the States, kaya sigurado akong gagana din dito. Also, sumagot ang Department of Education Bureau of Curriculum Development sa aking email. Sa totoo lang, medyo nanghina ang loob ko nung una kong nabasa ang sagot ni DepEd. Medyo lang. Pagkatapos naman nun ay naisipan kong sagutin ang email nila. Ang sagutan namin ng bago kong penpal, si DepEd, ang topic natin sa podcast this week. Inaanyayahan ko din kayong ipadinig ang boses natin sa pamamagitan ng pagsulat ng email sa DepEd through these email addresses below. Here's the email address of VP Sara Duterte: osec@deped.gov.ph Here's the email address of Usec Gina Gonong: bcd.od@deped.gov.ph The DepEd Contacts page can be found here: ⁠https://www.deped.gov.ph/contact-us/directory/⁠ You can help SUPPORT THIS PODCAST by buying me a coffee at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thejayarugashow or through GCASH: 09204848046 Sign up for The Jay Aruga Show Newsletter where you will have direct access to behind the scenes stuff, more detailed stories about an episode, and where we can write to each other as well. -> http://TheJayArugaShow.com Subscribe to The Jay Aruga Show Youtube Channel --> https://bit.ly/3ijo5kp

We're starting a new segment this week called THE COMMENTS SECTION. Dahil ang mga Kaaruga ang isa sa pinaka-matatalinong tao sa interwebs, we'll give them a chance to shine. Ang ilan dito ay hango sa mga sagot sa #inspirationalquotesbyjayaruga and #inspirationalquestionsbyjayaruga. Here are some of the quotes/questions kung saan nag-comment sila: "Kapapanood ko lang ng concert ni Michael Jackson. Nagtataka lang ako. Marami bang thumbtacks sa stage? Bakit lagi siyang napapasigaw ng 'Aw!'? " "Ang isasagot niyo ba sa post kong ito ay 'hindi'? " "Bakit ang eroplanong may elesi lumilipad, ngunit ang electric fan hindi? Simple lang ang sagot diyan. Ang electric fan kasi ay may kurdon na nakasaksak sa electric outlet na siyang pumipigil sa kanya para lumipad ng tuluyan." Sa dulo, aawardan natin ang Basher of the Month. Just keep your comments coming on our social media channels and who knows, baka kayo na ang susunod na mabasa natin in our monthy comment section episodes.

Feeling mo ba ay mayroon pa tayong magagawa laban sa Gender Ideology/Same-Sex Union sa DepEd curriculum ngunit hindi mo alam kung ano ito? Pwes! Tama ang feeling mo. Makinig sa bagong episode ng THE JAY ARUGA SHOW kung ano pa ang magagawa natin laban sa tinatawag ni Pope Francis na most dangerous ideological colonization today. Para hindi manghina ang loob ay hayaan mong sabihin ko sa iyo ang good news! Napunta na sa radar ni Bro. Eddie Villanueva of CIBAC Party List ang Gender Ideology lessons sa curriculum ng DepEd. Dahil iyan sa pagtugon mo sa panawagan ng ating munting podcast two weeks ago to email your Catholic school principal, at pagbigay ng feedback sa DepEd curriculum. Sumagot ang Department of Education at Alliance of Concerned Teachers (ACT) sa issue na ito ngunit epic fail ang mga sagot nila. Bakit? Hayaan niyong ipaliwanag ko sa episode na ito.

Gusto mo bang kausapin ang kaibigan mong na-kumbinsi ng Gender Ideology ngunit hindi mo alam kung paano? Samahan kami ni Jason Evert at Mon Reyes upang malaman ang Catholic way to talk about this issue. Maraming pinaliwanag si Jason, sa amin ni Mon, na hindi ko pa nababasa sa ibang libro on this subject. JASON EVERT is a chastity speaker, author, founder of the Totus Tuus Press and the Chastity Project, and host of Lust is Boring podcast. He has a new book entitled “Male, Female, Other? : A Catholic Guide to Understanding Gender”. MON REYES is a youth leader and the host of Not So Secular podcast. In this episode, we talked about the difference between sex and gender, the meaning of the words gender dysphoria, transgenderism and non-binary, we discussed what gender ideology has done to the West with kids undergoing "gender-affirming care", and we asked Jason if the existence of the Babaylan disproves the claim that gender theory is a Western invention. All these and more on THE JAY ARUGA SHOW. You can get a copy of Jason's book, “Male, Female, Other? : A Catholic Guide to Understanding Gender” from Amazon by clicking this link: https://amzn.to/42MyM4L Listen to Not So Secular Podcast on Spotify or any of your favorite podcast platform.
