Dr. Mojares is a multi-awarded author, scholar, and notable cultural and literary historian. He served as the founding director of the Cebuano Studies Center from 1975 to 1996. He was conferred the Order of National Artist in 2018, the first Cebuano to receive the highest award to artists in the country.
He has written numerous books and scholarly articles on history, literature, and politics, including The Man Who Would Be President: Serging Osmeña and Philippine Politics (1986) and Vicente Sotto, The Maverick Senator (1992).
The webinar is part of GSK’s activities this year which centers on the theme, “Padayon: The Persistence of the Cebuano Amidst Crises.” The theme highlights why the Cebuano race, spirit, and personality have continued to exist and thrive amidst the many challenges that came his way.
The face-to-face Gabii sa Kabilin will also return on October 21, 2022, from 6 PM to 12 midnight. More details about the heritage night will be announced in the coming weeks, including the participating museums and heritage sites and how to buy tickets.
Initiated in 2007 by RAFI, Gabii sa Kabilin aims to help preserve local culture and heritage by encouraging Cebuanos to visit museums. Last year, it launched its online activities at the onset of the pandemic to help make Cebuano culture and heritage more accessible to the public.
