As one of CBCP’s flagship projects in the celebration of the 500 years of the arrival of Christianity in the Philippines,  the capacity-building initiative was conceptualized to review the past and guide the future narrative of the Church. Dumaguete Bishop Julito Cortez, Chair of the CBCP ECCHC, highlighted in his opening message the “prevalence of truth and fallacy, reality and fantasy, claims and counter claims that often lead to historical revision to lionize events, places and people.” It is envisioned that more clergy and laity will be equipped not only with the research skills and methods but with the right attitude of discipline, humility and patience.

The inaugural episode was a panel discussion participated in by highly respected church historians of the country- Fr. Tony de Castro SJ of Ateneo de Zamboanga, Fr. Emil Quilatan OAR of the Archivo Recoleto, Fr. Albert Flores of the Archives of the Archdiocese of Manila (AAM), Prof Regalado Trota Jose of Archivo de la Universidad de Santo Tomas (AUST), and Fr Milan Ted Torralba of the Tagbilaran Diocesan Church Heritage Commission. Attended by clergy and church enthusiasts from Dioceses across the Philippines, the inaugural episode was viewed by an overwhelming attendance 180 on-liners in the zoom and 800+ netizens in the FB platforms of CBCP ECCHC, CBCP News, UST GS CCCPET, and the 500 Years of Christianity.

Nepomuceno’s work, entitled “Apostles of Salamanca, Adherents of Thomism: The Dominicans Salazar and Benavides as the Earliest Human Rights Advocates in the Philippines,” explored the lives of two former Manila Archbishops, Domingo de Salazar and Miguel de Benavides, both honed by the Dominican-run Salamanca School.

Moreover, through the lenses of Phenomenology, Nepomuceno’s study delved into their experiences and their formation of personalities at Salamanca School, which ignited their advocacy to fight for human rights despite clashing with fellow Spaniards in their mission in the Philippines.

Equipped with Thomistic values and ideals, the two Dominicans continued to serve the Filipinos during their respective times as Archbishops of Manila, the seat of Catholic Church in the Philippines during the Spanish period.

Moreover, years later, their legacy founded on the practice of faith and the embodiment of the Gospels led to the establishment of the Dominican Family for Justice, Peace, and Care for Creation. The legacy left behind by Benavides and de Salazar became a flaming inspiration that drew contemporary Dominican Missionaries worldwide to reach out to the marginalized people, while bearing the Salamanca Process, or the embodiment of Social Teachings of the Church.

Meanwhile in the University, which is guided by the Dominican Order for more than four centuries, the Simbahayan ��ɫ Development Office was established to be its advocacy arm that extends its help to the people in need.

Nepomuceno, apart from his teaching duties, is serving as the ��ɫ Development Coordinator of SHS to Simbahayan.
