Project Title: Lumad Spirituality In The Time Of COVID-19 Pandemic (NSTEP-SRD-036)

Project No.: NSTEP-SRD-036
Scientific Division: VIII - Social Sciences
Project Leader: Ana Maria Belinda Rasonabe Yting
Implementing Agency: National Research Council of the Philippines
Project Description:

Researches have highlighted the different roles that religion, spirituality, has provided during COVID-19. May it be toward mental health, providing people with meaning in life or health and well-being, these researches towards the impact of COVID to spirituality, faith and belief have been rare. Some researches focus on COVID'2 impact to the Sacraments or exclusively towards a specific religion. Their research provides us a glimpse but neither a clear nor holistic picture of it especially in the Filipino context. The conversation of faith is not just exclusive as looking into the community we are part of but it is lifestyle that we have. Religion in the Philippines is diverse both in terms of what religion and denomination we are part of. Spirituality has always been important for Filipinos, maybe in cultural, in things that we celebrate or practices or how our spirituality mold a personal action. Spirituality has aided us but at the same time, we should also explore how COVID-19 has shaped our spirituality and what impact has it done to the Mindanawan social fabric.
