Vol. 5 No. 2 (2025): The PASR Journal
The articles in this issue revolve around four central themes: resilience, spirituality, values, and sustainability. On resilience, one study highlights the struggle for rights and opportunities under pandemic policies and the adaptive responses of Manila and Quezon City, while another explores how historical memory and tourism in Corregidor can be transformed into strategic programs. Spirituality is examined through works on the transformative effects of retreats and recollections, the role of religiosity in fostering awareness and diversity, and the integration of theological approaches to holistic well-being. This spirituality is underlined in an article that reveals Jesus' divine identity, inaugurates his public ministry, and represents the abundant, transformative grace of the new covenant. In terms of values, one article emphasizes Christ-centered theoretical and methodological foundations, while another focuses on reconstructing education to embed moral and ethical principles in the digital age. Sustainability is addressed through research on strengthening agricultural communities in Bustos, Bulacan, and Thomistic reflections on the moral responsibility of balancing environment, society, and ethics for long-term survival. Collectively, these themes—resilience, spirituality, values, and sustainability—are vital in 2026 as they serve as guiding pillars for societies facing global crises, technological disruption, and environmental challenges, ensuring human well-being, ethical choices, and enduring progress.
