The talk will feature leading historians Professor Xiao Chua of De La Salle University and Professor John Ray Ramos of the Far Eastern University. Ramos will talk about the issue of truth and fake news during the time of Rizal and Bonifacio. Chua will focus on the Filipino concept of human rights as reflected in various readings of Philippine history. Both topics will highlight the magnitude of critical thinking which is an important skill in the discipline of history, especially in research and interpretation.
