Paano Mo Nasabing Tama? Examining Moral Reasoning Using a Cultural-Developmental Approach
2025-09-19 16:00 - 19:00
Paano Mo Nasabing Tama? Examining Moral Reasoning Using a Cultural-Developmental Approach

How can people say that something is right or wrong, and how does this reasoning change throughout our lives? This question has been addressed by theories and research on the development of moral reasoning for decades, but they have often left culture and power out of the conversation. This lecture discusses how we can extend our understanding of moral reasoning in a way that integrates culture and power, with an example of research on urban Filipino young adults. It also tackles issues of changing and often conflicting perspectives about right and wrong in the context of a rapidly changing Filipino society and explores ways to bridge these viewpoints to promote our collective good.

———————————————————————————————————

Paano natin masasabi na tama o mali ang isang bagay, at paano nagbabago ang pangangatwirang ito sa panghabambuhay? Marami nang mga teorya at pananaliksik na sinubukang sagutin ang tanong na ito tungkol sa pag-unlad ng moral na pangangatwiran, ngunit madalas nawawala sa usapan ang kultura at kapangyarihan. Tatalakayin sa sesyong ito kung paano maaaring mapalawak ang pagkaunawa tungkol sa moral na pangangatwiran sa paraang nakapaloob ang kultura at kapangyarihan, gamit ang halimbawa ng isang pananaliksik sa ilang kabataang Pilipino sa Metro Manila. Pag-uusapan din ang mga isyu ng mga nagbabago at kadalasang nababanggaang mga pananaw tungkol sa tama at mali sa kotenksto ng mabilis na nagbabagong lipunang Pilipino, at sisiyasatin ang mga paraan upang matulay ang mga pananaw na ito tungo sa ikabubuti ng kolektibo.

Samahan niyo kami sa Asuncion Miteria Austria Professorial Chair Lecture ni Dr. Danielle Ochoa sa 19 Setyembre 2025 (Biyernes), 4:00 n.h. – 7:00 n.g., sa Lagmay Hall Room 304, UP Diliman at FB Live. Ito ay libre at bukas sa lahat.

Webinar #256
September 19, 2025 (Friday), 12:00 noon
Maagang Pag-Lingap:
A Patient-Centered Approach to Endometriosis
In the dynamic and evolving landscape of women’s health, endometriosis remains a profoundly challenging and often debilitating chronic inflammatory condition, with a significant public health impact in the Philippines. While its pathophysiology has been studied extensively, conventional approaches to diagnosis and management have historically focused on symptomatic relief, often overlooking the patient’s holistic journey and enduring psychosocial burdens. The paradigm shift towards a truly patient-centered care model necessitates a re-evaluation of current practices, emphasizing shared decision-making, early diagnosis, and a multidisciplinary, collaborative framework.
In this week’s episode, we will discuss contemporary insights into the non-invasive diagnostic modalities and advanced therapeutic strategies for endometriosis, moving beyond the traditional surgical-first approach. Our panel of experts will provide a comprehensive overview of the disease’s natural history — from symptom onset to long-term sequelae, with a particular focus on the unique challenges faced by Filipino women. We will discuss the imperative for a coordinated care model by highlighting everyone’s crucial role in initial patient-provider encounters, symptom recognition, and accurate referral pathways. Furthermore, we will explore the integration of adjunct therapies and psychosocial support mechanisms, which underscore that optimal outcomes are measured not solely by the eradication of lesions but by a significant improvement in the patient’s long-term quality of life.
Our main speaker is Dr. Judith S. Galang-Perez, who is the Head of the Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility Unit at the Perpetual Help Medical Center – Las Piñas. She is also a consultant of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center, as well as at the Las Piñas General Hospital and Satellite Trauma Center. Reacting to her talk is Dr. Ina S. Irabon, who is also a consultant of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Asian Hospital and Medical Center.
Join us so we can learn how to elevate the standard of care for endometriosis patients in the Philippines. And together, we can stop preventable deaths.

The Filipino Fear

This talk begins with a question: What do Filipinos fear? And from there, it branches into other questions about language, culture, and the everyday ways we feel our way through the world. Using the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach, I take a closer look at kaba, pangamba, and takot not just as words in a dictionary but as emotional scripts that live in the body, in thought, and in time. NSM helps us unpack these emotions using a shared “mini-language.” Through this, we may be able to see kaba as both a warning and an echo, pangamba as care shaped by uncertainty, and takot as a mental script that may unfold with a physical force. In studying the Filipino fear, we see that we are not just defining emotions but we are also mapping out a way of seeing, valuing, and moving in the world. Because to ask what do we fear is also to ask: what do we hold close and what do we hope not to lose?

“Masayá kung sama-sama”: Pakahulugan sa sayá sa kontekstong Pilipino

Karaniwang itinuturing ang Pilipinas na isa sa pinakaemosyonal na bansa sa daigdig, na pinagtitibay ng mayamang bokabularyong nauukol sa damdamin. Tampok sa panayam na ito ang paggalugad sa kahulugan at pakahulugan sa sayá sa kontekstong Pilipino gamit ang lapit ng Natural na Semantikong Metawika (NSM). Sasagutin dito ang mga tanong na: (a) paano nadarama ng mga Pilipino ang sayá?, (b) ano-ano ang dahilan ng pagdanas nito?; at (c) ano ang implikasyon nito? Mula sa pagsusuri, mababakas sa pag-iral ng sayá ang halagahing kapwa, na ang kabuoang danas nito ay hindi lamang nag-uugat at nanatili sa sarili kundi nagmumula at naibabahagi sa iba. Pagkakataon din ang panayam upang mailapat ang bersiyong Filipino ng NSM na magagamit upang matalakay ang mga konseptong kultural sa wikang nauunawaan ng mga Pilipino at madaling naitutulay sa ibang wika at kultura ng daigdig.

Radical Routes: Filipino Migrant Narratives and Spatial Justice in Canada
2025-09-12 17:30 - 19:30
Heo/Geo Lecture Series 2025-09: Chris Sorio on spatial justice among Filipino migrants in Canada

In writing about urban labor migration of Filipinos in Canada, Philip Kelly emphasized the spatiality of class in studying mobilities because “class subjectivities might be complicated by the spatiality of migration, which is an … important feature of the global economy” (Kelly, 2012, p. 154). While scholarly materials have been written about Filipinos in Canada in relation to assimilation and identity, labor migration and transnational habitus, few have been written about migrant geographies from the perspective of a labor worker and organiser.

For the ninth lecture for 2025 of the Heo/Geo Lecture Series of the UP Department of Geography and co-sponsored by the UP Center for International Studies (UPCIS), Chris Sorio will talk about narratives of Filipino labor migrants: his and other Filipino workers in Canada. Sorio’s talk titled Radical Routes: Filipino Migrant Narratives and Spatial Justice in Canada happens on Friday, 12 September 2025 at 5:30PM Philippine Standard Time (5:30AM Eastern Standard Time) via Zoom.

The talk is preceded by a screening of filmmaker Alfredo Ruzol’s short film Recipe for Change which focused on Chris Sorio, and which was shown in Toronto in 2024. The Philippine Reporter which covered the event in Seneca Polytechnic singled out Ruzol’s film, thus “[t]he documentary revisits Sorio’s harrowing experience during the Marcos Sr. dictatorship in the Philippines. At just 21 years old, Sorio was arrested and tortured by soldiers in Manila in 1982. Now living in Toronto, he continues his activism to ensure that this dark chapter of history is not forgotten.”Sorio’s presentation, on the other hand, examines the lived experiences of Filipino migrants in Canada through the lens of spatial justice, drawing upon radical geography to illuminate the intersections of displacement, labour, and resistance. By foregrounding personal narratives and community histories, it explores how Filipino migrants navigate and contest the socio-spatial inequalities embedded within Canada’s immigration and labour systems. The analysis highlights the ways in which migrants transform everyday spaces—such as workplaces, community centres, and domestic environments—into sites of agency and solidarity. Through this exploration, the presentation aims to shed light on the broader implications for understanding migrant geographies and the pursuit of spatial justice in contemporary Canada.

Chris Sorio is currently the secretary general of Migrante Canada—a grassroots organization supporting temporary foreign workers and immigrants. He is currently an MA student in critical human geography at the Environmental and Urban Change of York University. Alfredo Ruzol is a filmmaker and media producer who pursues untold stories about climate justice, human rights, social issues, and peacebuilding. Recipe for Change was recently shortlisted in the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia 2025.

The event is co-sponsored by the UP Department of Geography, UP Center for International Studies, and the Philippine Geographical Society. The Heo/Geo Lecture Series is a monthly resource talk / lecture given by academic geographers, geography-adjacent scholars, practitioners working in geospatial industries, and partners that engaged in multiple publics, and based locally and abroad. The talk ranges from the sharing of research findings to pedagogical practices and field-based experiences. This month’s Heo/Geo Lecture Series is facilitated by two research clusters at the UP Department of Geography: Human Geography (HUG) and Media, Literary Geographies, and Geohumanities (MELANGE).
