The Social Ethics Society is honored to recognize the achievements of its youngest members who have very promising careers in academia. Dr. Moises Torrentira of the University of Southeastern Philippines is the most read in RG in the area of development theory. Prof. Ian Clark Parcon is a Habermasian scholar at the Ateneo de Davao University who has published and presented papers internationally in the field of deliberative democracy. Prof. Menelito Mansueto of Colegio de San Juan de Letran is well-published in the area of Philippine politics and critical history. And finally, Prof. Gerry Arambala, philosophy chair at La Salle University, has accomplished so much work on his radical democracy project in Ozamiz.
Research and publication are crucial in the growth and development of knowledge. Scholarship is about contributing to theory and helping others reflect on its implications to society and policy making. These young men are inspired not only by their desire for knowledge but by their commitment to social justice and the betterment of Philippine society as a whole. The SES will continue to support and provide the oppotunities for the growth of scholarship in this part of the country.
