Guillermo Gómez Rivera

[1][2][3] Gómez is the most senior academic director of the Academia Filipina de la Lengua Española.

Through his body of literary works, he has urged Filipino readers to "rediscover" their Spanish past in order for them to gain knowledge of their true national identity.

[14] Gómez honed his dancing skills in short courses conducted by Spanish international dancers such as Los Chavales de España, Antonio Ruiz and José Greco who visited Manila in the 1970s and the 1980s.

[8] Gómez spent several years teaching Spanish grammar, Philippine history and philosophy at Adamson University.

In 1997, he worked on television as a segment host of ABS-CBN's now defunct early morning program Alas Singko y Medya, presenting a five-minute Spanish lesson.

Gómez released an LP back in 1960 when he was producing La voz hispanofilipina, a radio program on DZRH.

[1] Digitally remastered with funding from the Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation, the LP was reissued and launched at Instituto Cervantes de Manila on August 14, 2006.
