| dbo:abstract | Raul J. Bonoan (born July 3, 1935 – April 6, 1999) was a Filipino Jesuit educator, former President of the Ateneo de Naga University, and Rizal scholar. Bonoan pursued philosophical studies at Berchmans College, Cebu from 1956 to 1959, and received a Licentiate in Sacred Theology at Woodstock College, Maryland in 1966. He was ordained a priest in 1965. He later earned a Ph.D. in Theology from the Loyola School of Theology in 1977 with a dissertation on the Rizal-Pastells correspondence. He was a professor of theology at the Jesuit-run Ateneo de Manila University from 1965 to 1988. In the context of the Filipinization movement and radicalism in the university, provoked in part by the declaration of martial law in 1972, Bonoan advanced a Filipino theology without relying on Western paradigms. His course in theology was unique in its focus on history and the local context in which Christianity had developed. During this time, Bonoan also served as moderator of the Ateneo Catechetical Instruction League (ACIL), acted as spiritual adviser to students, and led community efforts to aid flood victims of Central Luzon. In 1980, Bonoan was appointed dean of the School of Social Sciences and soon established the Office of Research and Publications. He wrote homilies in memory of Ateneo alumni such as Edgar Jopson, Evelio Javier, and Ninoy Aquino who perished in the tumultuous few years that followed. During the snap elections of 1986, he provided shelter to Commission on Elections (COMELEC) technicians who refused to manipulate official election results to favor Marcos. Bonoan later served as President of the Ateneo de Naga beginning in 1988 until his untimely demise brought by a heart attack while jogging at Mirador Jesuit Villa in Baguio at the age of 63. (en) |
