Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc presents papers in 10 international virtual conferences in 2020

Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc has presented papers in 10 virtual international conferences this year, particularly in the conferences hosted by the Arizona-based American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN) in which he is a visiting professor, the Eubios Ethics Institute, and in the Universal Science Education Research Network (USERN) Congress. The research papers deal with his philosophical reflections on Covid-19 as well as the philosophy of technology, post-pandemic. "Our present situation has been a challenge but at the same time it is also an opportunity to engage with global scholars," he says. 

Local academicians in Mindanao have also been active in their international engagements, which Dr. Maboloc says is important because "the universe is such a big place and there is always room for everyone to develop his or her potential." Dr. Randy Tudy, Dr. Rogelio Bayod, Fr. Urbano Pardillo Jr., Fr. Dexter Veloso, Mr. Gerry Arambala, Dr. Moises Torrentira, Mr. Aldrin Quintero, and Dr. Sherlito Sable, who are all members of the Social Ethics Society, have also presented various papers in the AUSN hosted events. "The challenge is not just to write something," Dr. Maboloc mentions, "but to create an insight that can have social impact and human importance as well."

Statement of the SES expressing its opposition to the proposal to remove Ethics in the GE Curriculum

  We, members of the Board of Directors of the Social Ethics Society, express our strong opposition to the proposal to remove ethics in college. Such move is bereft of merit and is ignorant as to the value and purpose of the teaching of the course, which is thoroughly rooted in the integral and critical function of higher education.

It only breeds our subser...

Statement of the SES BOD Chair

The Social Ethics Society was founded in 2010 by the late Dr. Romulo Bautista, a professor at Ateneo de Davao University who did his doctorate on Marx at the University of Madrid in Spain, and Dr. Christopher Ryan Maboloc, then a young teacher at Ateneo de Davao. The first SES Conference was held at the University of Mindanao. Its original membership was only 15, consisting mainly of the masters students of the two founders. While in the peripheries of academia, the SES pursued its goals of helping teachers in Mindanao develop their craft in ways that is consistent with philosophy as an exercise of the human will and as the highest expression of the human intellect.  When its proponents presented the concept, it was suggested that the Union of Philosophical Societies and Associations in the Philippines (USAPP) will lobby for a new bill that will professionalize philosophy in the country. That was in 2018. Top UST philosophy academics, upon the invitation of Peter Elicor, attended t...
