    The 16th episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Campus Ministry Office-Higher Education Unit is entitled "Right Here Hwaiting For You: An Advent Reflection and Conversation In This Time Of Pandemic". The Church continues to observe Liturgical Celebrations including Advent despite the Covid 19 that greatly affected the way we celebrate them. Consequently, many of us might have felt the burden of waiting for the time that this crisis would end. This waiting has taught us what matters most in life - our relationships with self, family, others, nature, society and God. May our longings inspire us to value these relationships as we celebrate this season of Advent.

  3. Resilience, Reorientation and Reinvention: Online Leadership in this COVID 19 Pandemic

    Resilience, Reorientation and Reinvention: Online Leadership in this COVID 19 Pandemic

    The 14th episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Senior High School Unit is entitled "Resilience, Reorientation and Reinvention: Online Leadership in this COVID 19 Pandemic". As the COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly across the globe, many schools struggled to react both quickly and adequately. Schools were one of the most important societal institutions to be affected by the pandemic. However, most school leaders have little to no training in crisis leadership, nor have they dealt with a crisis of this scale and this scope for this long. Digital leadership asks students to consider themselves within the context of digital spaces. It also asks them to consider how they affect and influence others online — and how they can improve those environments for everyone.

  5. Bakit Ako? Siya na lang! Kaya ko ba? A Conversation on Contemporary Leadership

    Bakit Ako? Siya na lang! Kaya ko ba? A Conversation on Contemporary Leadership

    The 12th episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Formation Office Junior High School Unit is entitled "Bakit Ako? Siya na lang! Kaya ko ba? A Conversation on Contemporary Leadership". The Ateneo de Davao University Vision and Mission articulate the necessity of forming ADDU Sui Generis Leaders. It is a result of the integration of the four areas of students’ formation namely, human, spiritual, social and leadership of the Jesuit Education.  Sui Generis leaders are educated and formed according to the Vision and Mission of the ADDU. They have optimally benefitted from the life of the University – Jesuit, Catholic and Filipino-and have personally appropriated its values and mission. In this context, they are prepared for a life of leadership dedicated to the common good through careful cultivation of appropriate ideals, virtues and leadership skills”, (J. Tabora, SJ, 2012). Currently, talks on leadership is the in-thing. The Philippine as a nation will have the election where leadership is will shape a new landscape in the country. It is chance for the then trained leaders-to-be to lead. It is but fitting to conduct a talk on Leadership without taking any political stance or bias. Community leadership have their own terms of office where leaders take turns in leading the group. Often times, when the time comes, invited leaders ask: “ Bakit Ako?’ “Siya na Lang” “Kaya ko Ba?”. These are series of questions that only a leader once say ‘yes” and deployed may be able to answer rightfully. Hence, this concept of a formation talk is put forth: “Bakit Ako?’ “Siya na Lang” “Kaya ko Ba?”: A conversation on Contemporary Leadership.

  6. The Hard Work and Heart in Teaching: Teaching as a Profession and a Vocation

    The Hard Work and Heart in Teaching: Teaching as a Profession and a Vocation

    The eleventh episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Formation Office Grade School Unit is entitled "The Hard Work and Heart in Teaching". We live in a world of constant change that is accompanied by both challenges and consolations. As educators in this era, we are frontline in these dynamic and evolving experiences. Different narratives and stories may bring us to a deeper reflection of our personal experiences in carrying out our personal and communal mission as teachers. Fr. Arrupe wrote that “today our prime educational objective must be to form men-for-others; men who will live not for themselves but for God and his Christ” (Men for Others, Valencia, 1973). While we envision the kind of students that we will provide for society, we, teachers, must first and foremost develop these values and attitudes. The values of commitment, compassion, competence and conscience. The 5C’s for Human Excellence. The aim of Jesuit Education. It will be through this that we can accompany our students most especially today. The mission to accompany our students is further articulated in the Universal Apostolic Preferences (UAP) which is “journeying with youth” – accompanying young people in the creation of a hope-filled future. With these challenges in teaching, a live streaming event sponsored by the Grade School Formation Office in collaboration with the Ignatian Spirituality and Formation Office (ISFO) will gather educators from different schools, confronted and immersed in different situations in the delivery of education in our context today. The conversation in this event highlights the sharing of personal experiences, of challenges and consolations, of risks and uncertainties in teaching.

    Tara, TAPOK ta! Talk and Pray for us to be Ok

    The tenth episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Campus Ministry Office Grade School Unit is entitled "Tara, TAPOK ta! Talk and Pray for us to be Ok". Spiritual wellness forms part of the wellbeing of a human person. Thus, this live streaming episode organized by the Ateneo Grade School Campus Ministry Office in coordination with the Ignatian Spirituality Formation Office (ISFO) is a SPIRIT-CHECK. This is an opportunity to discuss and appreciate the God-experiences of the community to ensure, promote and nurture the spiritual wellness of one another. In our formation sessions, we teach our pupils ways on how to nurture their Spiritual Wellness by finding more time for prayer like mindfulness exercise, examen, guided meditation and cultivating their set of values to guide their decisions and actions. Taking care of our spiritual health is equally important as looking after our physical and mental health because this forms part of our resiliency. Spiritual Wellness is something that we can be connected with someone who is greater than us.

    Wonder Teacher, Ikaw Naman! Self Care and Wellbeing for Teachers and Staff Amidst the Current Crisis

    The ninth episode of ISFO Podcast in collaboration with the Ateneo de Davao Guidance Center Higher Education Unit is entitled "Wonder Teacher, Ikaw Naman! Self Care and Wellbeing for Teachers and Staff Amidst the Current Crisis". On the occasion of World Teacher’s Day, the ADDU College Guidance Center with the Ignatian Spirituality and Formation Office(ISFO) will give tribute to our teachers and school workers who are models of heartfelt dedication and commitment through this event in order to promote their wellbeing. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of students. Beyond teaching the subject matter, this is extended to a chance to take care of the learner. Taking care of the learner is the most challenging part of being a teacher because it takes the whole self to do so- mind, heart and spirit. Teachers and school workers are also human beings who need care too. How can we thrive as teachers especially during this difficult time? As we witness the suffering of our students and help them cope with their issues, we are also dealing with our own realities.To be a teacher nowadays requires stamina and lot of energies not only with academic pursuits but with dealing with the learner as a person in distress. Self-care and wellbeing are necessary to reach our potentials and mold the potential of our students in the classroom and beyond.
