The Philippine Social Science Council (PSSC) will be holding the 11th National Social Science Congress (NSSC 11) on 18-20 September 2025 in Baguio City. The NSSC 11 will adopt the theme “Munting Tinig: Amplifying Children’s Voices through Social Science Research in the Philippines.”

The NSSC11 will feature research studies that center on children using social science lenses and methodologies to explore critical areas such as education, health, rights and protection, among others. By amplifying children’s voices in research, the theme underscores the potential for more inclusive and effective policies that directly address the unique challenges faced by children in the Philippines. Recognizing that children in today’s context are limited to their “munting tinig” due to political and economic barriers, social exclusion and marginalization, as well as hierarchical structures, NSSC11 seeks to intensify their voices and bring to light critical issues through social science research; thus, enabling them to participate in their affairs and empowering them in the process as development stakeholders and social actors.
