The Abulad Sanay-Say is a writing workshop that aims to cultivate a tradition of critical writing in philosophy. This looks to Bro. Romualdo E. Abulad, S.V.D, Ph.D. as an exemplar of the critical stance of doing philosophy in the country, who, in his passing, leaves us a stimulating question: Quo Vadis? In our current situation, we dispel illusions that philosophy is a poltergeist that will lead us to be mindful of the critical import of thought's excursions from the usual as part of our arduous philosophical journey. Dr. Abulad affirms this with this admonition against lazy philosophizing. This workshop is part of our response to his challenge. Philosophy thus is not fixed but like writing is a constant exercise, isang patuloy na pagsasanay. It is a craft that is never perfected but is always exercised not to achieve completion but both breadth and width in our respective critiques. Our exercises are exhibited through writings, mga sanaysay, that embody the critical attitude.

Sanay-say is scheduled for September in commemoration of Br. Abulad's birth month.
