The Philippines Communication Society joins the observance of Privacy Awareness Week 2026 under the theme, “ANAMNESIS: Looking Back and Moving Forward.”

This year’s observance invites reflection on the continuing importance of privacy and data protection in an increasingly digital and AI-driven communication environment. As media technologies evolve, conversations on ethics, accountability, and responsible handling of personal data remain essential across communication, research, education, and public engagement.

The theme also reminds us that safeguarding privacy is a shared responsibility--one that requires awareness, trust, and collective action in both online and offline spaces.

SAMAHAN NIYO KAMI NGAYONG HUWEBES AT PAG-USAPAN NATIN ANG KALAGAYAN NG MGA TRANSPORT WORKERS SA GITNA NG KRISIS SA LANGIS!

Dito lang ‘yan sa 𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙖 𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙋𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙚?, 2:00 n.h.

Ngayong Labor Month, aming kinikilala ang mga Pilipinong manggagawa at ang mga ambag nila sa patuloy na paggalaw ng ating lipunan. Nitong mga nakalipas na buwan, ramdam ang bigat ng patuloy na tensyon at hidwaan sa pagitan ng Iran, US, at Israel. Ngunit ang epekto ng sigalot na ito ay hindi nananatili sa Gitnang Silangan, direkta itong pumapasok sa ating mga kalsada at pumipilay sa ating pampublikong transportasyon. Dahil sa pagtaas ng presyo ng langis, malubhang apektado ang ating mga tsuper at transport workers.

Sa episode na ito, talakayin natin ang patong-patong na pasanin ng ating mga tsuper mula sa krudong umuubos sa kanilang arawang kita at boundary, hanggang sa domino effect nito sa mga ordinaryong komyuter at manggagawa. Layon nating suriin kung naging epektibo ba ang mga hakbang na ginagawa ng pamahalaan, at kung bakit nananatiling mahalaga ang sama-samang pagkilos upang maipagtanggol ang kabuhayan ng transport sector sa gitna ng krisis.

Makakasama natin sa episode na ito sina G. Jaime Aguilar (SecGen, NCTU) at si G. Luis Garcia (Instructor, UP CSWCD). Makakapanayam naman sila ni Trishia Carbaja (Research Associate, Ateneo–IPC).

Ang programang 𝘽𝙖𝙠𝙖 𝙉𝙖𝙢𝙖𝙣 𝙋𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙚? ay isang knowledge dissemination initiative ng Institute of Philippine Culture na nagbibigay ng culturally sensitive, kritikal, evidence-based, at down-to-earth na pagsusuri ng mga napapanahong social issues gamit ang iba’t ibang kalinangan sa agham panlipunan. Nakabatay ang inisyatibong ito sa prinsipyo na ang pagbubuo at pagbabahagi ng kaalaman ay dapat maging isang genuine na collaborative process kung saan ang iba't ibang karanasan, pananaw, at problem-solving approaches ay binibigyan ng espasyo upang makilala, maipaliwanag, at magamit.

Tinanong namin si Gemini ano ang tipikal na kulay na may kinalaman sa AI. Bughaw at abo ang sagot. At least, ginamitan namin ng AI ang aming pubmat. :)

Sa kabila ng nakagigitlang gamit ng AI, kailangang maging mapamaraan at mapanuri. Sadyang di namin pinaayos sa AI ang sagisag ng Unang Repubika ng Pilipinas upang salaminin ang nagpapatuloy nating pagtuklas sa nakaraan at sa saysay nito sa kasalukuyan, may AI man o wala.

Kung bakit may p**a sa aming pubmat, para makita ninyo agad na ikalendaryo na ninyo ang Philippine Historical Association Annual Conference sa Setyembre 2026. Mag-abang lamang sa update para sa aktuwal na petsa at pook na pagsasagawaan sa kumperensiya, lalo na ang call for papers.

Kitakits!
