Entitled, Real Love Revolution, the conference seeks to instill into the minds of the participants
the importance of chastity and purity when it comes to giving and receiving "rea1love". At the same time
it also seeks to inform the youth on how such play important roles in the development of Philippine

writings on pornography and emotional virtue respectively.
CATALYST, a student organization of the University of Asia and the Pacific, has been in
