UCCP CDO Centennial Lecture Series
The lecture series is one of the core events of the year-long celebration of the centennial of CDO-UCCP. It may be recalled that in March this year, we had the first of the lecture series with Dr. Victor R. Aguilan who talked on the church history. Dr. Aguilan is a professor in church history of the SU Divinity School.
“This time, we are again blessed with someone who is an authority on the subject,” said Imma Rae D. Gatuslao, point person of the UCCP CDO Centennial Lecture Series. “Dr. Malayang was Undersecretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources from 1993-1995, has served as full professor and dean of the UP College of Environmental Science and Management, and has authored research on environmental philosophy and ethics, among many other scientific works.
