I have been extremely privileged to witness the evolution of the Philippine Social Science Council from a distance and up close. PSSC came to my awareness in the early 1970s when my professor Rodolfo Bulatao, for whom I worked as research assistant, returned to the University of the Philippines' Social Research Laboratory, enthused over the stimulating discussions with the pillars of social science and the promise of more social science research under the Council.rnI would not work directly with PSSC, however, until more than a decade later, when, upon my return from my doctoral studies in 1983, Sylvia Guerrero would request me to help the Executive Board build the Eastern Mindanao Research Consortium (Ateneo de Davao University, Notre Dame University in Cotabato, Cor Jesu College in Digos, and Urios College in Butuan) and the Visayas Research Consortium (Silliman University in Dumaguete, Central Philippine University in Iloilo, University of San Carlos in Cebu, and La Salle College in Bacolod).
