Day 2: Responder Groups Deepen Environmental Engagement and Liturgical Formation

Bro. Adrian Joseph Hechanova

BAGUIO CITY- The REAP sessions continued with their respective responder groups in three
separate venues.

The Biodiversity Loss Responders were facilitated by Ms. Victoria Bautista and Ms. Olivia
Gregorio at the seminary’s social hall.

The Solid Waste Management responders were facilitated by Mrs. Lucia Ruiz and Mrs. Annie
Marie Caguioa in the first-year college classroom.

The Climate Change Responders were facilitated by Mrs. Ofelia Giron and Sir Francis Caguioa
in the third-year college classroom.

Bro. Airon Valonda, a second-year college Climate Change responder, shared his reflection that
“The current environmental crisis is alarming because we (humanity) are using our resources
recklessly for the sake of economic profit despite our rational abilities to create and innovate.”

The afternoon session was divided into two groups; Fr. Rellyric facilitated the first one
Delos Santos, OAR, the house liturgist, with the neophytes and their angels, and the second one
was facilitated by Fr. Gideon Antolin Lagrimas, OAR, the new Provincial Vocation Director.

Bro. Andrei Magdurulan, a second-year college seminarian, shared that, “(As angels), we are
taught how to guide and encourage our neophyte souls, especially in the field of liturgy.”

“We were also introduced to the importance of one’s liturgical life in our stay here in the
seminary,” he added.
