In the session, Sr. Merceditas Ang, SPC, (President of St. Paul University Philippines and CEAP Trustee-at-Large), introduced the P.E.A.C.E. Compass. This strategic framework was designed to transform global challenges into actionable institutional paths. Her sharing was grounded in the proactive engagement and initiatives of SPUP. The compass points to the following practical pillars for navigating crises: P – Peace Education and Prophetic Hope (Embedding of peace as a core component of character formation and academic strategy, and the shift from a passive vision to active and transformative of future); E – Ethical Energy Conservation (Moving beyond cost-cutting to a moral imperative); A- Adaptive Learning and Innovation (Employing resilience as a shield against disruptions, ensuring academic continuity through flexible modalities); C – Compassionate & Conscientious Global Perspectives (Fostering an empathetic outlook that recognizes the local resonance of international economic and political shifts); and E – Ecological Stewardship and Sustainability (Rejecting a “take-make-waste” mindset in favor of ethical resource management and strategic partnerships).
