The Librarian's: On mercy and compassion – Lessons from a true Jesuit
To weep is to show true compassion, to sympathize with the plight of the less fortunate, to devote ourselves not just financially but also emotionally and whole-heartedly. To act on this is to show true mercy. This is the central message behind the theme of the 2015 State and Pastoral Visit to the Philippines of His Holiness Pope Francis, “Mercy and Compassion”, and perhaps his entire papacy itself.

Repost: Why Talk About Education and CSR?
This is a repost of “Why Talk About Education and CSR?” an article written by Mr. J. Anton Yap, the Executive Vice-President of the Benita & Catalino Yap Foundation. Hyperlink is mine.

If you’re like me and obtained a smart gadget at a young age (in my case, seventeen), you’ll be nodding your head in agreement when I say that we went left and right in downloading games. In fact, I had to delete some of those last week when … Continue reading

Sealed with a Kiss.
Whenever I’m asked about the work I do – or whenever I, say, invite someone to an event of ours – I usually end up creating more questions than answers (leading the people asking me to give polite nods of understanding instead) or being stereotyped as an NGO worker who would not earn a lot in … Continue reading
Seeking truth through research
