Student Catholic Action
The Student Catholic Action of the Philippines is a religious student organization in the Philippines. Its affiliation overseas is the International Young Catholic Students (IYCS), also known as International Young Christian Students in Asia, that follows the methodology of Cardinal Joseph Cardijn, the see-judge-act methodology. Known to be the first student religious organization in the Philippines, it is presently known nationwide through local dioceses and Catholic schools (public and private high schools).
It defines itself as an organized group of students striving to become a community of disciples of Jesus Christ by being evangelized and evangelizing. The cell, a small group of students, is the basic unit of the movement, and is essential to it.
Every three years, the leaders meet in a National Conference, the highest decision-making body of the movement. The Conference elects a National Coordinating Council (NCC), comprising a Cluster Coordinator together with a College Representative and a High School Representative, for a three-year term. The NCC meets twice a year. The National Secretariat comprising the executive director, Executive Secretary and the Liaison Officers for each geographic region (Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao) run programs with the help of the National Formation Team.
As of 2014[update], some 300 universities, colleges and secondary schools are affiliated with the Student Catholic Action of the Philippines.
The Student Catholic Action of the Philippines (SCAP) is an organized group of students striving to become a community of disciples of Jesus Christ by being evangelized and evangelizing. We are a non-stock, nonprofit organization duly registered under the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) with Registration No: CN201014323. SCAP is a national student movement recognized by the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines-Episcopal Commission on Youth (CBCP-ECY). It is a member of the Federation of National Youth Organizations (FNYO) and affiliated with the International Young Christian Students (IYCS) with consultative status on UNESCO and the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)
SCAP is a campus-based organization that forms students to become socially aware and effective leaders in the community through the five areas of concern: (1) Values Education, (2) Social Justice, (3) Environmental Sustainability, (4) Science and Technology, (5) IT and Social Media. SCAP serves more than 80 years of molding consistent student leaders for the church and society. It applies the inquiry method of see-judge-act in seeing reality and deeply reflecting its actions. The organization was founded by Columban priest, Edward McCarthy, SSC in University of the Philippines Manila. It started as a scholastic philosophy club with an aim to counter anti-Christian attacks of growing atheism in the campus on April 12, 1936.
The Student Catholic Action has its own share of Ramon Magsaysay Award laureates, in the person of Chief Justice Hilario Davide in the category of government service. SCA alumni shone in the other sectors of society. In governance, late Senator Raul Roco exemplified the virtue of Christian leadership, while CHED Commissioner Patricia Licuanan dedicated herself to education and women. SCAP also contributed many talents in the field of NGO work, such as Carmencita Abella, Magsaysay Awards Foundation President, and Fe Revita-Arriola of the Consuelo Foundation. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, the 32nd Archbishop of Manila and one of two Pro-Prefects of the Dicastery for Evangelization, and Archbishop Antonio Ledesma, are inducted members.
SCAP is present in over 20 dioceses and archdiocese in the country in six clusters: Northern Luzon, Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, National Capital Region, Visayas and Mindanao.
