Lubos na pagbati sa 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐞 𝐀𝐁 𝐆𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐮𝐩 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 sa inyong aktibong pakikilahok sa AB GLAUCUP 2026: Henyo Ka, Artlet Ka! 💡🌟

Sa pamamagitan ng talino, disiplina, at sama-samang pagkilos, ipinakita ninyo ang diwa ng isang tunay na Artlets—mapanuri, mapagpasiya, at may malasakit sa kaalaman. Ang inyong partisipasyon ay patunay ng patuloy na paninindigan ng Concilium sa akademikong kahusayan at intelektuwal na pakikipagtagisan.

Ipinagmamalaki namin kayo. Padayon sa pagdadala ng pilosopiya sa bawat larangan na inyong tinatahak! 💙✨

A few days ago 𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐊 and 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐚𝐞 in partnership with 𝐔𝐒𝐓 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲 hold its event entitled DALUMATAAN 2026 with the theme "Ethics in Crisis: Confronting the Culture of Individualism". It was a monumental day for philosophy and social science students, as they were inspired by new ideas and learning, and developed a new critical approach to individualism and its societal issues. 💥✊️

The event showcased abstract presentations from UST and External Philosophy undergraduates, a roundtable discussion, and alumni thesis presentations. 💛

Everyone witnessed an intellectual discourse that bridged numerous ideas and inspired all thinkers. 💡 The organizations are grateful and look forward to next year's DALUMATAAN. ✨️

To celebrate , Pax AB invites the Thomasian Community to the 1ST DESIDERIUS ERASMUS LECTURE ON FAITH AND THE HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES! 🦉✒️

Inspired by the example of Desiderius Erasmus, a contemporary and friend of our patron saint, St. Thomas More, this event aims to bring the Faith into dialogue with the theory and practice of the Humanities and Social Sciences.

This year's inaugural installation will feature plenary discussions from Rev. fr. Virgilio A. Ojoy, OP, SThD, PhD and Prof. Paolo A. Bolaños on the relationship of Christianity and Marxism in the pursuit of social transformation, especially concerning the Theology of Liberation. Our theme "Ephphatha" (Be opened) (Mk. 7:34–35) is an invitation to be open to hear the oppressed, to speak in dialogue, and to move towards action.

This event is organized by the UST Pax Romana - Arts & Letters Unit in close collaboration with the UST SIMBAHAYAN Community Development Office for the Fr. Pedro Salgado, OP Social Justice Campaign, and the UST Concilium Philosophiae.

Handa na ba kayong makisabay sa labanan ng talas ng isip? Simulan na ang paghula, mga Artlets – sino ang aangat, sino ang magpapabilib, at sino ang mag-uuwi ng tropeo sa “AB GLAUCUP 2026: Henyo Ka, Artlet Ka!”? 🏆🔥
