This group was known as the Philosophy Circle of the Philippines which, until now, remains active and participative in Philosophical events. Other groups like the Philosophical Association of the Philippines and the Philippine Academy of Philosophical Research was formed with different objectives but in regard to Philosophy all the same. The article expressed how exciting it has been in the founding days of the Philosophy Circle of the Philippines and how the different sectors of scholars cooperated and spoke with collaboration and contradiction to the different opinions of the popular group.
