THE FCL PARADIGM Flashcards
(65 cards)
Stands for Filipino Christian Living as Christ-centered. The life of Christ as spelled out in the Gospels is the life that we want to emulate.
The CROSS
Represents the four pillars of Filipino Christian Living. These principles serve as the basic foundations of the course. They will also provide the basis for evaluation whether the objectives of the course have been achieved.
The four corners of the cross
What are the Four Pillars of Filipino Christian Living?
- Christian in Living
- Catholic in Doctrine
- Filipino Character
- Perpetualite in Virtue
Stand for the relationship between God and the Perpetualite. FCl should, therefore, be Christian in Living and Catholic in Doctrine.
The vertical beam of the cross
Stands for the relationship between the Perpetualite and other persons and the environment. FCL should therefore, be Filipino in Character and Perpetualite in Virtue.
The horizontal beam of the cross
Stands for the Trinity. The Filipino Christian Living is Trinitarian. It is grounded in its belief in God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
The Equilateral Triangle
Stands for the Holy Family. The cornerstones of the Filipino Christian Living is the family. This is clearly mirrored by the UPHS as a family institution. The UPHS is not only a family corporation but treats each member as a member of the Family.
The Equilateral Triangle
Stand for the three human dimensions of the Perpetualite which FCL aims to address to bring about an integral Perpetualite formation, namely: the HEAD, the HEART and the HAND.
The three equal right angles of the triangle
Reminds the Perpetualite that the prime objective of FCL is to bring every Perpetualite to the knowledge, love and service of God.
The right angle pointing upwards
Stand for the incarnational aspect of FCL. The experience of God’s love serves as the driving force to love one’s neighbor.
The two right angles on the side
Stands for God, the Alpha and the Omega, the center of our lives.
The Circle
Inside the circle are the words: “________________”
This is the core, the motto, the mission of FCL. The UPHS strives to form Perpetualites who serve as instruments for nation building marked with an integral character. This is the brand of a true Perpetualite.
“CHARACTER BUILDING IS NATION BUILDING”
- Stands for the UPHS family which includes the students, the faculty, the non-teaching personnel, and the administration.
- The heart of the course is to form individuals who are truly endowed with the Perpetualite identity.
