Strengthening the Voice of Humanity through the Arts and Social Sciences

The culture of research is active, and it is best exemplified in the substantial content of this particular volume of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines’ Social Sciences and Development Review Journal. The same impulses that led people to explore issues concerning human survival in the old times reverberate our present interests in taking a serious glimpse into the dynamics of the institutions around us: politics, economics, religion, culture and the arts, most of all, human nature itself. The substantial scholarship in PUP SSDR Journal 2023 Volume 15, showcases an inspiring tone of how we value human life. Our researchers never fail to provide us with quality outputs that will benefit the readers in many ways. To our dear readers, we hope that our most recent journal issue will be of help in weaving a flourishing life and a meaningful existence.
