The Commission on Social Communications of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines on Feb. 19 announced on its social media post the 2nd Cybermission Congress themed "I am G.E.N.T.L.E. (Growing, Emphatic, Nurturing, Truthful, Listening, Equitable).
In a letter signed by Bishop Marcelino Antonio Maralit Jr., chairperson, the Congress will be held at the Communication Foundation for Asia from April 28 to 30, 2025.
“In an era where technology continuously transforms our lives, it is imperative that we adopt a holistic approach rooted in human values and ethics. The "I am G..E.N.T.L.E. theme brilliantly encapsulates the foundational principles essential for creating a collaborative and compassionate digital landscape,” it said.
The Congress presents a unique opportunity for church ministries, media influencers, educators, and religious congregations to come together, share insights, and collaboratively shape the future of cybersecurity.
“This will also be an opportunity for human encounters within and among the participants. Capturing the message of our dear Holy Father Francis, we have to shape ourselves up so we can metamorphose from storytellers to hope-tellers,” it said.
While imparting his pastoral blessings, he thanked everyone “for the dedication to advancing cybersecurity awareness and practice through this significant event. I look forward to the enriching dialogues that will arise during this assembly. May St. Francis de Sales, Patron of Social Communications, guide and bless you all,” said Maralit.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
