SES set to leave USAPP

The Social Ethics Society (SES) is set to leave the Union of Philosophical Societies and Associations in the Philippines (USAPP). The SES is based in Mindanao, particularly in Davao City. It has an active membership of 130. The SES holds annual conferences and an online mid-year event. It has also helped its members publish their research outputs. The organization manages the Social Ethics Society Journal of Applied Philosophy. 

The SES Board of Directors is grateful to Dr. Jove Jim Aguas, President of the USAPP Board for the past support given by USAPP to the SES. The leading group in USAPP is the Philosophical Association of the Philippines, headed by Dr. Ruby Suazo. PHAVISMINDA, led by Fr. Francis Escano, is the host for this year's conference. Fr. Dexter C. Veloso is the President of the SES.
