in focus
Editor's notes: From 1972 to 1974, the Philippine Social Science Council conducted a series of summer training programs
aimed at developing the research and teaching competencies of institutions throughout the country. These training programs were
attended by faculty members of the different institutions and universities invited by the PSSC. After the training, these faculty mem-
bers returned to their home institutions and set up or continued their own research centers.
From the outset of the training program, it was foreseen that the final result would be, not merely a number of research centers
scattered throughout the country, but a potential network of about 25 research staffs similarly trained and following the samehigh-
quality research norms and procedures.
In May 1974, the PSSCand the research trainees agreed to activate that relationship, forming what is now known as the PSSC
Research Network.
Starting with this issue, the PSSC Social Science Information will feature research centers affiliated with the Network.
Wehave decided to feature three centers per issue, one center from each of the three major regions of the country.
For this issue, we feature the Research Institute for Mindanao Culture, the Leyte-Samar Research Center, and the SPCT Office
for Research and Development (Tuguegarao, Cagayan).
