About DaKaTeo
On 25-26 October 2002, Group Fonske organized an inaugural symposium on “Fundamentalism and Pluralism in the Church” at De la Salle University in Manila. Present were theologian-alumni from other universities who expressed keen interest in joining the envisioned theological organization. The circle of friends immediately expanded to become what DaKaTeo is now, an association of Catholic men and women, specializing in the various theological disciplines, and who received their professional training from different universities here and abroad.
