Annual Report 2008-2009
MESSAGE The theme of the Bishops-Businessmen’s Conference 33rd General Assembly & Annual Meeting on July 10, 2009 “Areas of Cooperation Between Business and the Institutional Church in the Philippines Towards Human Development” calls for men of the cloth and men and women of capital to play a pivotal role in transforming society. BBC believes that both Church and Business could cooperatively seek solutions to the problems of development. To fully understand what the Bishops-Businessmen’s Conference for Human Development is all about, one must first go back to its beginning in 1971 when 35 Bishops and an equal number of businessmen gathered in a conference in Baguio City to seek solutions to the problems of development in the Philippines. Someone once said that the purpose of BBC is to “make better Christians of businessmen and better businessmen out of the Bishops”. Though he may have been facetious, there must have been some grain of truth in this simplification of BBC’s reason for being. But what distinguishes BBC from other business and religious organizations is the interaction among its members who come from distinct backgrounds but share skills and strengths to achieve the common goal of total human development. BBC’s initiatives have been driven and informed by the realities of continual change. It recognizes that partnerships are essential to our efforts to continue to regain its momentum, to rebuild its energy. Business and the Church need to be strategic partners for the good of those that they work for both on the national and regional/diocesan levels to help alleviate them from poverty to prosperity. -

Muslim-Christian Dialog in the Philippines: Methods and Contexts
Muslim-Christian Dialog in the Philippines: Methods and Contexts Eduardo M. Domingo, Ph.D. Theology and Religious Education Department De La Salle University-Manila Introduction In every culture, there are underlying systems. The geography of the place with its mountains, seas and terrains (physical or material), the way the people live (economic, social, political), the way people feel and think (cultural, religious), the way people share and celebrate life (world-view, spirituality) are but some of these components. Although some may be tempted to see these as independent in a given culture, these systems are linked. In fact, they intersect one another in the given and concrete context of culture, thus, engaging in a dynamic fusion we call life.1 Such is the reality of Dialog and the methods on the Muslim-Christian Dialog adopted in Mindanao, Philippines. It is therefore important to see and to understand these methods in their proper contexts. Here, we would understand ‘context’ as the ‘individual and collective experience,’ as it includes the experiences of the personal life of a person or group. Context also represents a complex reality. It encompasses a combination of several realities such as social location, history, political forces, social changes, cultural shifts and religious systems.2 And it is also in this framework of contexts that I will try to describe the methods on Muslim- Christian Dialog in Mindanao, Philippines 1960's to the 1990's. Philippine Context The Philippines as a Nation and a Political Community The Philippines as a political community lacks the characteristics of a mature and strong state. -
