In solidarity with the 40th Anniversary of the EDSA People Power Revolution, the Curia Staff of the Diocese of San Jose Nueva Ecija, held a simple yet meaningful activity of remembrance and reflection. The gathering featured a series of video documentaries and presentations that revisited what EDSA is, what transpired during the historic People Power Revolution, and its continuing relevance today.

The activity also included a moment of reflection and a sharing session, during which each participant shared their personal insights, hopes, and a renewed sense of responsibility. It became a moving reminder that the spirit of EDSA lives on—not only in history, but in each person’s commitment to stand for truth, uphold unity, and courageously live out the values of faith and freedom. May this spirit continue to inspire us to be instruments of hope and active witnesses of positive change in our time. 🙏🇵🇭

The second day of the DSAC Strategic Planning session focused on the Tawid-Tanaw Synodal Activity. This session provided a structured opportunity for us to reflect on the realities, challenges, and limitations we encounter in various desks, parishes, and communities, as well as on a personal level.

Through this process of reflection, we identified not only our existing limitations but also the emerging possibilities and renewed inspirations that strengthen our commitment to service. These reflections served as the foundation for each group in formulating their respective Tawid Statements—clear expressions of shared insights, commitments, and concrete directions that will guide our actions and planning moving forward.

Additionally, a round-table discussion was conducted to promote shared perspectives and collective discernment, contributing to a more unified and strategic direction for the Social Action Commission.
