    REACTION PAPER
    on
    The Panti Sisters

    The Panti Sisters, a film directed by Jun Lana, is a story of three


    gay sons who are called back by their estranged and terminally ill father
    and given an offer which they cannot refuse: a P300 million inheritance
    in exchange for each of them giving him a grandchild. The first one to
    do so gets the P100 million pesos.
    The main characters are Paolo Ballesteros, Christian Bables, and
    Martin Del Rosario. They play the role of the three gay sons namely:
    Gabriel, Daniel, and Samuel, all with surname Panti. Long before being
    called, these three gay sons had loss affection from their father, Don
    Emilio Y. Panti, upon discovering that they are gays.
    One of my reactions to this movie was the relationship I saw
    between the Panti parents and the Panti children. Under Section 7,
    Article 46, Chapter 3 of The Child and Youth Welfare Code, parents
    shall have the duty to always set a good example. Here, Don Emilio
    and his wife, always fight (especially shouting with each other) in front
    of their children, which is obviously not a good example. It also shown
    in this movie that both parents have a little time and attention for the
    children since both of them are always busy. Don Emilio has to hire
    another person to accompany his son in playing sports in his behalf. In
    Section 1, 2 and 3, Article 46 of the same Code mentioned earlier,
    parents shall have the duties towards their children: (1) to give him
    affection, companionship and understanding; (2) to extend to him the
    benefits of moral guidance, self-discipline and religious instruction; (3)
    to supervise his activities, including his recreation. In this movie, the
    failure of the parents to do those duties towards their children, the bond
    between them is weak. It was easy for their child to leave their family
    home because they did not feel the affection, companionship,
    understanding and compassion they needed from their own father.
    Instead, they felt unaccepted and unwanted.
    It is true in Article 45, Chapter 3 of The Child and Youth Welfare
    Code, that parents have the right to discipline the child as may be
    necessary for the formation of his character, and maybe require from
    him obedience to just and reasonable rules, suggestions and
    admonition. In the subject movie, I think Don Emilio has exercised this
    right abusively. He disciplined his gay sons to act as a straight guys
    because he did not want to have a reputation of having gay sons. As
    stated, the clear objective of discipline is for the formation of good
    character and not only for the good reputation of the parents. The Civil
    Code of the Philippines states in Article 19:
    Every person must, in the exercise of his rights and in the
    performance of his duties, act with justice, give everyone his due, and
    observe honesty and good faith.
    Don Emilio must have known this law for him not to give that kind
    of discipline to his children.
    When Don Emilio become seriously ill, he wanted to give away his
    three hundred million pesos (P300, 000,000.00) to his sons with the
    following three conditions: first, that they must live together in his
    house; second, that they must dress and act as a straight guy (to never
    show that they are gays); and lastly, that they must give him a
    grandchild. In that part of the story, it makes me understand in advance
    that the transfer or disposition of inheritance – property, rights, and
    obligations by the parents to their child may take effect even before the
    death of the parents through donation. The donation to be made by the
    father in this movie has a suspensive conditions. Suspensive condition,
    according to Ballentine’s law dictionary, is a term of contract whereby
    the obligation is not to take effect until the happening of a certain event.
    The conditions of Don Emilio not to give the three hundred million
    pesos unless the three conditions mentioned above are complied is an
    example of suspensive condition.
    I have also understand in this movie that the marriage of a gay and
    a woman is valid here in the Philippines. Article 1 of The Family Code
    of the Philippines, states:
    Article 1. Marriage is a special contract of permanent union
    between a man and a woman entered into in accordance with the law
    for the establishment of conjugal and family life. It is the foundation of
    the family and inviolable social institution whose nature,
    consequences, and incidents are governed by law and not subject to
    stipulation, except that marriage settlements may fix the property
    relations during the marriage within the limits provided by this code.
    In this movie, Gabriel, although gay, is a man and the one he
    contracted marriage with, is a woman. Also, both of them give their
    consent freely in the presence of the solemnizing officer. For those
    reasons, their marriage was allowed in the Philippines.
    In contrast with the kind marriage planned by Daniel and his
    boyfriend, in the Philippine laws, it cannot be valid. Same sex marriage
    is not yet recognized in our country. Until today, there is no law in the
    Philippines, allowing the same sex marriage. Nowadays, the issue of
    same sex marriage in our country is very hot and popular. Legal
    experts say that this kind of case is highly significant but warn that it
    could take years before the judges make a ruling. (Agencee-Press,
    published 8:51pm, 19 June 2018)
    In the news, our President Rodrigo Duterte has expressed support
    for same sex marriage, the problem is the law must have to be change.
    In the later part of the story, where the second gay son was already
    dead, Don Emilio had realized his wrong doings. He slowly showed his
    love and understanding to his gay children, whom at first he could not
    accept. While watching towards the end of the story, it made realized
    that the love of the family is much more important than any material
    things found in this world. Dispute between family members must be
    settled as earlier as we can. To have a rightful relationship and stability
    of the social order, all family members must think of the happiness of
    each other, act with justice, and give everyone his due. (Article 19 Civil
    Code of the Philippines)
    In conclusion, the movie “The Panti Sisters” has taught me a lot of
    timely lessons. For this reason, I strongly recommend this to every one
    especially to the law students.
