Katekista Findings & Insights
from the National Catechetical (NCS) 2016-2021: Pastoral Action Research and Intervention (PARI) Project
This research monograph, entitled Katekista: Findings &
Insights from the National Catechetical Study (NCS)
2016-2021: Pastoral Action Research and Intervention (PARI) Project, is very significant for its comprehensive, in-depth and
clear-cut assessments on the Catechetical Ministry (CM) in the Philippines. Truly, it can serve as a companion piece to Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter Antiquum Ministerium which instituted the new ministry of catechist, making this charism not just a parochial affair but the concern of every Ecclesiastical Territory (ET).

In Manus Tuas (In Your Hands)
A Handbook on Being, Becoming, & Belonging
to A Catechetical Ministry in the Philippines
with Florence C. Navidad & Jaycar P. Espinosa
It is in this light that we are heartily grateful for the publication of this highly anticipated and much needed volume, Katekista In Manus Tuas (In Your Hands): A Handbook on Being, Becoming and Belonging to A Catechetical Ministry in the Philippines. Like a true “handbook”, we hope that it will serve its purpose as a handy companion and practical guide for our catechists as they go about their journey.

Katekistang Malikhain
Mga Turong-Gabay sa Malikhaing Katekesis
with Keith Aaron T. Joven, Joan Christi Trocio-Bagaipo, Renniel Jayson Jacinto Rosales, Leonardo O. Quimson, Jr., Jonathan James O. Cañete
Makatutulong ang aklat na ito upang magabayan ang ating mga katekista upang patuloy nilang maituro ang pagmamahal ni Hesukristo sa pamamagitan ng iba’t ibang mga malikhaing pedagohiya, bukod pa sa mga nakasanayang “lecture method” at “pagkukwento ng karanasan”. Itinatampok din sa aklat na ito ang mga katekistang nagbahagi ng kanilang mga karanasan kung papaano magagamit ang iba’t ibang mga pedagohiya sa pagtuturo ng katekesis. Nagpapatotoo ang mga ito na sa gitna ng lahat ng ating mga biyayang natatanggap, tayo ay may mahalagang misyon na magbigay at magbahagi, na tayo’y “biniyayaan upang maging biyaya” (Mateo 10:8).

Mga Tulang-Pananaliksik Hango sa
National Catechetical Study (NCS) 2016-2018
“Ito po ang aking paanyaya sa lahat nang mabibigyan ng pagkakataong basahin at pagnilayan ang librong ito, ang koleksyon ng mga tulang- pananaliksik hango sa mga datos ng buhay ng mga katekista batay sa NCS 2016-2018 na sinulat ni Dr. Clarence M. Batan na mula sa Filipino ay isinalin sa sampung wika.
Tunay ngang maituturing na kayamanan ng ating Simbahan ang mga Katekista, kaya mabuti pong ipagkaloob natin sa kanila ang tamang pagpapahalaga, pagkilala at paggalang. Mabuhay po ang ating mga katekista sa buong Pilipinas!
Nawa’y sa bawat tulang inyong mababasa, isang dasal din ang inyong masambit – para sa ating mga katekista, para sa ating Simbahang Katoliko.
Pagpalain tayong lahat ng Poong Maykapal kasama ng ating Mahal na Inang Maria, Amen.”

The Oxford Handbook of Global South Youth Studies
with Sharlene Swartz, Adam Cooper, & Laura Kropff Cause
Ninety percent of the world’s youth live in Africa, Latin America and the developing countries of Asia. Despite this, the field of Youth Studies, like many others, is dominated by the knowledge economy of the Global North. To address these geopolitical inequalities of knowledge, The Oxford Handbook of Global South Youth Studies offers a contribution from Southern scholars to remake Youth Studies from its current state, that universalizes Northern perspectives, into a truly Global Youth Studies. Contributors from across the Global South—including from Diaspora, Indigenous and Aboriginal communities—locate and define ‘the Global South’; articulate the necessity of studying Southern lives to enrich, reinterpret, legitimate, and offer symmetry to youth studies; and use Southern theory to do so. Eleven concepts—personhood, intersectionality, violences, de- and postcoloniality, consciousness, precarity, fluid modernities, ontological insecurity, navigational capacities, collective agency, and emancipation – are reimagined and ‘re-presented.’ The outcome is a series of everyday practices such as hustling, navigating, fixing, waiting, being on standby, silence, and life-writing that demonstrate how youth living in adversity experiment with and push back against routine and conformity, and how research may support them in these endeavors and, simultaneously, redefine the relationships between knowledge, practice, and politics – what the editors term epistepraxis. The handbook concludes with a nascent charter for a Global Youth Studies of benefit to the world, which no longer excludes, assumes, or elides but embraces new possibilities for representing youth, researching among them, and devising policies and interventions to better serve them.
Abstract from the Oxford Academic website
Researching Student Affairs and Services (SAS)
The Case of University of Santo Tomas (UST)
The book is also an invitation for other universities and colleges to engage in student affairs research, something that, I fear, is sorely lacking in student affairs work in the Philippines for many reasons. I hope that the UST Office of Student Affairs' (OSA) research endeavors will inspire other OSAs to follow suit.

Talim
Mga Kuwento ng Sampung Kabataan
Mababanaag sa bawat kuwento ang pakikipamuhay ng may-akda, kasama ang sampung kabataan sa Isla ng Talim, Rizal. Tinalakay dito ang apat na tema ng kanilang buhay: ang pamumuhay ng kabataan sa isla, mga pagpapahalaga ng mga kabataang ito, ang mga pananaw nila sa mga pagbabagong panlipunan at ang pagtingin nila sa kanilang kinabukasan.
Sumasalamin rin dito ang tatlong mundong kanilang ginagalawan: ang isla, lawa at kabayanan— isang pagtatangkanghabi ng makabuluhang pagpapaliwanag ng sosyolohiya ng buhay ng kabataang Pilipino sa kanayunan.
