It’s still Caturday, isn’t it? my cat, Salmon.

I'm trying to capture a forest vibe on my small property by letting fallen leaves cover the ground. It's so beautiful to allow the more-than-human world to be itself.

It's a dream come true to publish an article in the Concilium Journal of Theology. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute. @conciliumint.bsky.social

Thank you for the spotlight! The article is my most-cited and most-downloaded. Clearly, it resonates with many readers, especially those in the Filipino diaspora. www.facebook.com/dlsuresearch...

I'm on a research team reviewing over 100 arXiv articles for a paper; poorly written opinion pieces are also present on arXiv. This is unfortunate because the platform offers Global South academics a chance to share research before peer review by reputable journals and presses.

It may be hyperbole to say the world anxiously awaits the result of the NYC mayoral election, but this election is the most consequential for the world and for democracy this year.

This week marks a national holiday in the Philippines, and people rush home to remember their loved ones who have passed away. We mourn the loss of every being on Earth that can't be recovered, and we grieve that devastating loss.

"God will ask us if we have cultivated and cared for the world that he created for the benefit of all and for future generations, and if we have taken care of our brothers and sisters - what will be our answer, my dear friends?"

Chicago River becomes eco-friendly again, and is about to welcome swimmers back into its course for the FIRST TIME IN OVER 100 YEARS! It took over 40 years to clean.

For our final output in Ethics class, my students created several advocacy campaigns on the ethics of preserving and protecting Manila's ecological spaces. They create an e-magazine on the Masungi Georeserve. Scan the code to access the magazine. www.masungigeoreserve.com

One of the most fantastic news stories I've read lately. Thank you for posting this.

Service learning and participatory action research when combined is a pedagogical approach that seeks the balance between curriculum innovation and community needs. You can freely download our article in Peace and Sustainability Journal kwnsfk27.r.eu-west-1.awstrack.me/L0/https:%2F...

We thank everyone who has worked on climate science and advocacy to bring this issue to our attention, highlighting the most debilitating crisis on Earth. We dedicate this book to you. It's coming along nicely, and it will be available soon. #ClimateChange #ReligiousEducation #PracticalTheology

Fog is beautiful when it touches the ground and envelops humans. It reminds us that water surrounds us from above and below. We describe precarity as the state of extreme vulnerability. Precarity can also capture the fleetingness of life itself, alluding to life's beginnings and endings.

I am incredibly honored to be a workshop facilitator in this year's Action Research, Action Learning International Congress in Manila, Philippines. Here's the front page of my presentation:

So one of these birds said hello to me outside my office window. One of the most beautiful urban-dwelling birds in Manila is the Black-Naped Oriole. Pic from Google.

NEW ARTICLE: We reviewed 50 research articles on the impacts of climate activism - check out the key takeaways:

Listening to the voice of David Abram, author of the Spell of the Sensuous soothes my cats.

I am delighted to share my newest publication in the International Journal of Practical Theology. I wrote about the state of the discipline, Practical Theology in the Philippines after the watershed 1986 People's Revolution. lnkd.in/g9y3mDvh

I do ESG and just returned from one of the happiest places on Earth for me and my students who have come with me over the years—-Lian Batangas, with the mangroves and Taal Lake at a distance.

I'll be in Saskatoon, Canada, for the International Academy of Practical Theology (IAPT) conference in June. I'm so excited just thinking and writing about it!😍

I am proud to contribute to this volume in Pastoral Psychology's Special Issue: Pastoral Theological and Psychological Reflections on Climate Change. Issue Editors: Ryan LaMothe, Pamela McCarroll, and Panu Pihkala. link.springer.com/journal/1108...

I am writing about how to love nature amidst grief, so this report makes me very happy. While love itself is challenging to define, many people do get it and understand its demand.

What I gather here is that human languages resemble nonhuman languages that have been around for far longer.

One of the biggest challenges I face as a writer is organizing my thoughts coherently. This is a debilitating condition, so I self-soothe by minimizing the need to self-correct or edit. I let my thoughts flow freely and commit them digitally before making edits. Happy weekend, friends!

There is no such thing as a vacant lot. The land is always teeming with life. Have a "wild" Sunday, my dear friends.

My participation will be a homecoming to the first school where I taught Philosophy after finishing my MA in Theological Studies in 2003. The conference highlights the decolonial mindset of the faculty and students, and I am happy to share my work with the new batch of seminary students at St. Paul.

Congratulations, Boniknik, on this award! She will visit me at DLSU next week for a project. I am so excited! www.globallandscapesforum.org/media_mentio...

What a beautiful cover! I am anxious about my upcoming contribution and hope to do justice to the journal.

One of the best things from my trip to the village Sunday market. A free book of poetry.

A thoughtful participant in one of the university's research workshops shared that prominent, ultra-productive local STEM researchers have not heard of a positionality statement (which was prominent in my workshop session)and insisted that science is neutral.

“It’s really too bad, you know, we’re shooting missiles and rockets and whatnot at each other on this tiny little place we call home. It’s the only home in the universe for us humans. It’s too bad we don’t treat it a little better.” — Bill Anders www.latimes.com/california/s...

I'm writing a paper for a theological journal on the connections among women, chronic pain, climate change, and environmental activism. Please send good vibes my way. Thank you so much!😍

I am proud to be cited in this study by UPLB researchers on the Pansipit River as one of the country's significant cultural and ecological water spaces. It underscores the contributions of humanities research to ecological preservation and protection.https://jhes.uplb.edu.ph/articles/24-ichspd08/
