On 24 August 2011 the Titus Brandsma Media Center, Manila, and the Center for Social and Pastoral Communications (the media ministries of the Order of Carmelites in the Philippines) held a successful 5th Carmelite Communication Day event. About 60 people attended the event from of religious orders/congregations, schools and media institutions.
This year the theme focused on “the impact of social medial and network gaming in the formation of youth”. In his presentation, Fr. Stephen Cuyos, O.Carm., pointed out how digital games can be used to proclaim God’s Word. He added “worship and morals can be embedded in the content of the game and games can be an instrument of inculcating friendship, solidarity, team-spirit and other positive values.” He showed the participants that network gaming could be used to evangelize today’s generation. Meanwhile, Mr. E stan Cabigas revealed some figures regarding the landscape of blogging and social networking in the Philippines.
The Titus Brandsma Center, founded in 2006, is a ministry of the Order of Carmelites (O.Carm.) in the Philippines. It serves the Church and the World in the pursuit of truth through Spirituality and Social Communication.
