Niño’s paper – “Set the Captives Free: Challenging the Penal System” – looked at the situation of prisoners in Davao City, and Roque’s – “Remembering and Forgetting: Memory and Theology” – explored the theological significance of memory.

Niño and Roque, along with John Guo Wang, will be perpetually professed in April, and ordained deacons in May.
