As we prepare for this momentous gathering—coinciding with the 80th Oak Jubilee of the Geological Society of the Philippines—we warmly welcome you on behalf of this year’s organizing committee.

This year’s celebration is more than just a conference—it’s a homecoming. We invite you to reconnect with old colleagues, mentors, work teams, and fellow geologists. Let’s make this milestone event not only complete but truly unforgettable.

In line with our theme, we celebrate the enduring spirit of geologists:
Like the rocks we study, we are forged by time; like the work we do, we are strengthened by integrity; and like the decisions we make, we are driven by professionalism.

We also pay tribute to the stalwarts of Philippine geology—especially those who continue to inspire us with their presence, wisdom, and legacy. We stand on their shoulders as we reach for new heights.

Mabuhay tayong lahat!

On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is with great honor to welcome you to the 80th Oak Jubilee of the Geological Society of the Philippines (GSP). This momentous occasion marks eight decades of unwavering commitment to the advancement of geosciences since our founding on September 2, 1945.

This year, we celebrate the enduring legacy of our Society, anchored in its core mission—to promote the geosciences and advance the geology profession. We recognize the indispensable role of Filipino geologists in societal development, and we remain steadfast in upholding the highest ethical standards in the practice of geology. The GSP continues to foster a socially inclusive and gender-responsive environment for all its members. We are equally committed to community outreach and multi-sectoral collaboration, showcasing the relevance of geosciences in addressing societal needs.

As the highlight of our Oak Jubilee celebration, we proudly present GEOCON 2025—a culminating event that reflects our shared dedication to scientific excellence and nation-building. We warmly invite you to be part of this historic milestone in the life of our beloved Society.

Mabuhay ang GSP!
