Titled “Lolo Kiko We Love You”, this issue is specially dedicated to Pope Francis’s papal visit to the Philippines in 2015. The theme of the visit which was ‘Mercy and Compassion’ is the key topic in this issue’s theological reflections as authors discuss reconciliation, an end to wars and violations of human dignity, and calls for peace. Authors also call for ecological justice, as a Christian way of integrating ecology, science, and faith in caring for life and our common home.
