The panel discussion explored the perspectives and theology of Fr. Pedro Salgado, O.P. The panel featured the following discussants: Rev. Fr. Napoleon Sipalay, Jr., O.P. 鈥� Vice Rector of the UST Central Seminary, Rev. Fr. Delfo C. Canceran, O.P. 鈥� Priest of the Ministry for Urban Poor, Atty. Mario Maderazo 鈥� Human Rights Lawyer, Asst. Prof. Louie Benedict Ignacio, Ph.D. 鈥� Faculty Secretary of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, and Ms. Aiah Karrylle Jacinto- Central Student Council Vice President.

Formally opened by UST SIMBAHAYAN Assistant Director Christian Rey D. Rimando, MSPT, he remarked that the quest for social justice is an arduous but dignified pursuit. 

In his talk, Rev. Fr. Canceran shared the historical account of Fr. Salgado鈥� how he philosophized and pursued social encyclicals鈥� notions of social justice, solidarity, and subsidiarity within the teachings of the church. He stated that despite such knowledge, Fr. Salgado鈥檚 encounter with the poor and his commitment to genuine empowerment led him to become an exemplar of social justice. 

Fr. Canceran鈥檚 talk served as a point of reflection for the panel discussants with the discussion moderated by UST SIMBAHAYAN Director Froilan A. Alipao, MCD.

The panel discussion first reflected on the meaning of social justice. Atty. Maderazo and Asst. Prof. Ignacio remarked that social justice is principally rooted in pagpapakatao or the humanization of laws where every Filipino achieves the justice they deserve and that their human dignity is actualized with the goal of the common good. In conjunction with their statement, Fr. Sipalay shared that justice is inherent to humans, something that is rightfully ours; an orientation agreed upon by Ms. Jacinto who stressed 鈥淸dapat] lahat ng tao ay masagana at nakukuha ang nararapat sa kanila.鈥� 

Connecting Thomistic Philosophy and Fr. Salgado鈥檚 approach to social justice in their context, Asst. Prof. Ignacio reflected on the hardship of advocating social justice within the constraints of educational institutions. Nonetheless, he found that there are many ways of institutionalizing social justice鈥� and that it is only a matter of what you can do within your means to achieve it. This was echoed by Ms. Jacinto, who shared her experience as a student leader working hard to represent the student body and their rights, stressing how joining organizations (from student councils to non-government organizations) played a significant role in pursuing social awareness and justice. Fr. Sipalay attested that the church’s involvement in human rights issues like Extrajudicial Killings (EJK) is a powerful movement crucial to its development. When questioned why human rights protection is almost always predicated on the 鈥渄efensive position,鈥� the speakers shared how such language is crucial as it is powerful in invoking action. However, they collectively agreed that while 鈥渄efending鈥� human rights is a must, it is high time that 鈥渙ffensive鈥� action is taken鈥� in other words, we must now more aggressively pursue creative means that forward the advocacy of social justice. Proactive advocacy of social justice, Asst. Prof. Ignacio recalled Fr. Salgado鈥檚 idea of radicalization wherein everybody (especially those with privilege) must be critical of injustice. Ms. Jacinto and Fr. Sipalay stressed the importance of continued engagement, wherein Atty. Mario recalled how his continued perseverance in the recognition of a human rights violation was integral in defending the families of EJK victims鈥� dignity. 

To close the event, Rev. Fr. Victor Calvo, OP of DFJPCC-Phils. shared his reflection on Fr. Pedro Salgado鈥檚 advocacy of social justice. He noted how much has changed over the years and hopes that just like how UST now reveres the advocacy of Fr. Pedro Salgado, the pursuit of social justice will only grow stronger for the betterment of the future.

The launch on March 18, 2024 at the UST Library Conference Hall commemorated the 67th anniversary of the historical plane crash that claimed the life of former Philippine President Ramon Magsaysay and 25 others. The book details the harrowing account of the lone survivor Nestor Mata.

Initially published in 1957, The book 鈥極ne Came Back鈥� provides a firsthand account of the final moments of President Magsaysay and Mata鈥檚 harrowing experiences as the sole survivor. As an esteemed alumnus of the 澳门六合彩开奖网 (UST), Mata’s contributions as an educator in Political Science and Journalism at UST add another layer to the significance of this event. 

The new edition is published by Art Angel Commercial Quests, Inc., owned and run by the family of the late Jose L. Pavia, a journalist who worked alongside Mata at the Philippines Herald, where he served as the Executive News Editor until martial law led to the paper’s closure.
