Fr. Mercado is currently a professor of Notre Dame University- Graduate School and San Beda University-Graduate School of Laws.


Fr. Mercado begin his talk by pointing out that shaping the spiritual journey in the context of interreligious dialogue is the very theme of the 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines. He emphasized that the talk is perhaps part and parcel of the 500 years celebration because prior to the coming of Christianity in the Philippines it was the native religion. In this lecture, he captures the three perspective that he wants to point out on interreligious dialogue which is Islamic, the indigenous peoples, and Christianity.
