| Riepilogo: | In 1995, John Paul II wrote Evangelium Vitae (EV) to address the ever-increasing threats to human life and dignity. In this encyclical, he presents the dynamics of a clash of cultures in our modern world: one of death and one of life. This paper presents the worsening HIV/AIDS situation in the Philippines and reads the dynamics described in EV that possibly come into play. It focuses on the elements of current Philippine society and the indigenous culture that generate, sustain, and aggravate the HIV/AIDS situation as well as those that can ameliorate and potentially redeem it. The author posits the use of indigenous cultural elements as a tool to sift or refine existing initiatives and programs addressing the HIV/AIDS situation in order to increase their effectiveness and—assuming the value and validity of such a tool—the roles of both the State and Church in shaping a culture that can prevent an epidemic. |
