What kind of scholarly work would help move the country forward and give our people hope? The Ateneo de Manila university Loyola Schools present, as their Agenda for Hope, five key areas of engagement where we could bring about positive change: sharing prosperity, democratizing governance, promoting sustainable developemnt, preserving and transforming Philippine identity and culture, and inspiring our youth. More than forty faculty members representing various disciplines brought their research and expertise to bear in addressing the five points of the agenda. Providing a diverse range of perspectives, the authors offer ideas that are realistic, feasible, propose new directions for the future, motive the audience into engagement and action, and reflect the Ateneo thinking and way of doing things.

Water is part of our God-given natural environment that we all need
