In that conference, we discussed world trends in education, teaching philosophy to children, the state of philosophy in the seminary, multi-disciplinal approaches, instruments for measuring thinking, etc. We also had a workshop on the making of an outcomes-based syllabus.</span></div>
<div class="" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span class="" style="font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span class="" style="font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-US">The K-12 adjustments introduce a climate of chaos, ambiguity, and insecurity to all Filipino teachers but we philosophy professors view this impasse as midwifing a new vision for philosophy. We teach that philosophy is not really a discipline but an approach to reality and that teaching philosophy is not a job but a vocation. We commit to stay with the difficult process of laboring to find new ways of teaching philosophy that would form minds that trust and seek truth in the age of transnationalism, multi-cultural environments with real and virtual scapes, with recurring problems of injustice, corruption, and armed conflict.</span></div>
<div class="" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span class="" style="font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-US"> </span></div><div class="" style="margin-bottom:0.0001pt;text-align:justify;"><span class="" style="font-size:10pt;" lang="EN-US">In the CHED Memorandum Order No. 20, it is demanded that the teaching of philosophy should take the approach of general education. This implies that disciplines which we consider as leaning towards philosophy (such as the new integrated program for values formation from Kindergarten to Grade 10 “Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao”, the elective for Grade 11 students “Introduction to World Religions and Beliefs”, the course “Introduction to the Philosophy of the Human Person”, the tertiary GE courses “Understanding the Self” and “Ethics”) cannot anymore assume a disciplinal perspective but a cross-disciplinal one. This also implies that these courses need not be taught exclusively by professors
with degrees in philosophy.</span></div>

The globalized, technology-driven world order, with effects both good and ill, has also spawned different types of realities and problems that individuals and societies are expected to deal with in different facets of life. Issues of health, climate change, crime, and socio-economic disparity are no longer confined to national borders, making a board understanding of the world imperative. At the same time, to make
sense of the world, perspectives must be grounded in home realities and securely anchored on a sense of personal and national identity and self-understanding.” (<i style="" class="">In Defense of a Liberal Education</i>, Forbes, 10 August 2009).</span></div>
