The symposium on the three writings of Pope Benedict XVI (Deus Caritas EstSacramentum Caritatis, and Jesus of Nazareth) was on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee celebration of the Don Bosco Center of Studies.

    The reactors for the respective speakers were Fr. Ramon Garcia SDB., Msgr. Moises Andrade, and Fr. Lucio Guttierez OP. Fr. Francis Gustilo SDB (Provincial Emeritus and a resident professor) and Fr. Gio Santos SDB (Rector and President of DBCS) gave the opening and the closing remarks, respectively.
