Abstract

José M. de Mesa was a true and proud Filipino and a brilliant and creative theologian. This article focuses first on how de Mesa claimed his Filipino identity as he engaged in doing theology in Filipino context. Then several themes anchored in Filipino language and culture are explored. A conclusion reflects on the friendship that the author enjoyed with this eminent Filipino theologian.
