Enrique Batangan has been involved in a number of socio-pastoral and community organizing works since 1975. Aside from being a resource person “on call” of Education for Life Foundation (ELF) and Popular Education for People’s Empowerment (PEPE), he also engages in consultancy work with various NGOs, parishes and religious congregations. A teacher by profession, he is a part-time lecturer at Sojourn (inter-congregational forum for postulants), Exodus (inter-congregational forum for novices), Inter-Congregational Theological Center (ICTC) and St. Vincent School of Theology (SVST). He also coordinates the SVST Resource Center for Social Concerns. He worked as Documentation Assistant in Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong during the early 1980s under the auspices of the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA). In summer of 1985, he addressed the Annual General Meeting of the Catholic Institute for International Relations (CIIR) in London and its partner groups in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. In 1986, he joined an exposure trip to Nicaragua. Ten years after his exposure to the BECs of Nicaragua, in 1996, he took up a course on Conflict Analysis and Transformation at the Eastern Mennonite University (EMU) in Harrisonburg, Virginia. In 1998, he attended the Spring Term course on International Studies at the International Peoples’ College (IPC) in Helsingor, Denmark. At present, in addition to his socio-pastoral works, he also facilitates workshops on Popular Education, Culture and Religion, Pastoral Management, BEC Building, Social Analysis and Conflict Mediation.
