2008 has been a busy year for PSSC, with the Council hosting two major conferences - the National Social Science Congress and the International Conference on Philippine Studies, in addition to managing its regular programs and other special activities.rnThinking back, it was rather fortuitous that PSSC's governing body in the early 1980s thought of instituting a National Social Science Congressrnto be held every five years and bring the social sciences to bear on the discussion of contemporary social issues and developments. This once-in-every-five-years activity was launched in 1983, ensuring that a National Social Science Congress (now commonly known as NSSC) would take place during PSSC's major anniversaries-that is, during its 25th year in 1993, its 40th year this year, and PSSC's next major golden anniversary in 2018 and, Insh'allah, its diamond jubilee in 2043.
