Dr. Christopher Ryan B. Maboloc discussed some of the seminal concepts in the ethics of technology at the first National Conference for the Arts, Sciences, and Education (N-CASE) which was hosted by the Cebu Technological University at the Waterfront Hotel in Lahug, Cebu City, February 19-21, 2020.

The event was attended by some 200 delegates and was graced by Dr. Maximo C. Aljibe, CHED regional director and Dr. Rosein Ancheta Jr., CTU president. The other plenary speakers include Dr. Aurelio Vilvar of UP Cebu, Dr. Michael Furmanovsky of Ryukoku University, Dr. Steven Gershon of Oberlin University, and Dr. Filipina Sotto, a marine biologist.

Dr. Maboloc, who was introduced by Prof. Ryan C. Urbano of CTU, also shared his experiences as a researcher, having published several papers on the topic, and mentioned that research is not just about individual achievement, but also involves a moral obligation to society, especially in helping shape or influence government policy.

Dr. Maboloc is the author of 40 papers on liberalism and social justice, disability rights, environmental ethics, radical democracy, and the ethics of social media. He was trained in democracy and political party building at the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Bonn and Berlin, Germany.
