• In my own opinion, we should respect others religion by their own opinion, beliefs, by their practices , characteristics, culture, and/or rejoicing (kinagisnan). As a Roman Catholic, forcing them to join or become with us just to satisfy our beliefs is right, are not necessarily to do. And I agree that we as a human beings have a right to choose to join with different religion by our own believe, because no matter what, we only believe in one God and the word of Bible.

• Catholic should not force their employees to baptize being one of them because everyone has his own beliefs and can choose what religion can they worshipped because religion can't save you but your faith of existence of god will save you.

• We don't need to force them to be baptized as a Catholics because we need to respect each others religion. There's a fact that there are significant differences in religious belief and practice. Clearly there are a host of reasons, some cultural, and some religious. It’s considered impolite to talk about religion publicly. We live in a tolerant society, which means we are supposed to accept every other religious belief and practice as legitimate.

• In my own point of view, forcing is an act of demanding. Catholic institutions are broad, and so are the choices of a person. Example, if an Iglesia ni Cristo student is enrolled in a Roman Catholic kindergarten school, the student is not encouraged to transfer his or her religion into Christian.We can't force somebody to join a religion to which we belong because doing so would be against their will, and we certainly can't tell them what to do when it comes to religion. As Filipinos, we have the freedom to practice any religion we desire.

• In my own point of view , catholic institutions should not force their employees to be baptised as catholic because it’s unethical. It is a common understanding that each of us have our own rights and freedom towards anything in our life. In this modern world, we all have that tendency to believe in our own subjective opinions as if it is the truth. If the institution is forcing us they are disregarding our right to freedom of thought, beliefs and our own religion. Also, It’s not also okay that just because of a job we will change our beliefs and faith in our God. In that way, Employers should respect and accept the employees’ opted religion they should treat their employees the way they want to be treated. Employers should appreciate the employees religion by educating and exploring other religion and spiritual beliefs. Employers should have or improve their self-awareness because it helps their selves on how to work well with others. Employers should think differently. Employers should value the unique contribution of his/ her employee to their work. Employers should be valuing diversity because it can lead to creativity, team development, group dynamics and organizational effectiveness. People can persuade but they should not use force to others.

• I strongly disagree that they should force their employees to be baptized as catholic since each and one of us have different diversity. We should cherish and understand the different diversity in order for us to work harmoniously

• For me as a student catholic institutions can't force their employees to be baptized because everyone have a freedom to their own beliefs. We have the right to choose everyone have a different culture, we need to respect. If the employer required their employees to be baptized it will cause a bad feedback to their company.

• No, we don’t need to constrain the employees to be baptized as catholic because, we need to have a respect to the employees on what their beliefs when it comes to religion. If we force the employees to be baptized as catholic maybe they will affect their work or their performances as a worker and discrimination will happen. Just like in RAC Institution, we have our own perspective in terms of religion so if they are treating the employees unfairly based on their religion and force the worker to be baptized in the religion that they don’t like maybe it can cause a huge negative impact.

• No. Everyone deserves Religious Freedom. It's one way of a certain individual to protect his right to speak, to act, and to live in general. A person can and will have the ability to be themselves, to enjoy, to be comfortable, and to be happy in any activities, including work. I am pretty sure that no company wanted to be known as a discriminative place. All institution aims for success, and that can be achieved through skilled employees. Moreover, skilled employees are not limited to those whose beliefs and the religion are the same. Thus, in a country where diversity is greatly known, companies and institution should impose the same. This will not just make the company successful, it will teach each individual to give and show respect and acceptance.

• No, because it is not in the law that the employee should force to be baptized as catholic. And the people or the employees have their own will or freedom to choose whether they should baptized or not. They cannot force people to baptized in catholic because their have freedom of choice.
