HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF PHILOSOPHIA
by Dr. Rolando M. Gripaldo

It continued to do so and we hope it will go on to have a permanent niche in history.  (This was written in 2014 and was presented in the PNPRS National Conference in 2014. Dr. Griplado died in 2017. - Editor)

DR. ROLANDO M. GRIPALDO: Former Editor and the Man Behind the Success of Philosophia 

     The further development and success of Philosophia cannot be separated from the career of the late Dr. Rolando M. Gripaldo. Dr. Gripaldo founded the Philippine National Philosophical Research Society (PNPRS) to support the publication of Philosophia. He worked hard to sustain the existence and continued publication of Philosophia.  He served as editor first as Managing Editor and then Editor-in-chief from 1997 until his death in 2017.

Jove Jim S. Aguas
 
To honor the man behind the creation and the moving spirit of the Philippine  National Philosophical Research Society and the man behind success of Philosophia: International Journal of Philosophy I have written a piece in his memory. This was included in the 2018 January, volume 19, No. 1 issue of Philosophia, the last issue that Dr. Gripaldo worked on but was unable to complete because of his untimely death. I took over the editing and final publication of that issue which became a commemorative issue in honor of Dr. Griplado.
