Arius Raposas (born January 1, 1996) is an award-winning Filipino historian[2][3][4][5] and writer.[6][7][8] Known for his appearances in national and international media to share historical knowledge and cultivate appreciation of the discipline, Raposas has been recognized as one of the nation's foremost agents of public history. Besides having academic works on history, political science, and public administration[9], among other disciplines, he maintains a history website known as the Filipino Historian.
Raposas has been involved in public service since at least 2003. He has served in various volunteering and leadership activities. He has also served in the Boy Scouts of the Philippines.[1][10]
He obtained his bachelor's degree in history from the University of the Philippines, graduating as magna cum laude. In recognition of his academic achievements, he was inducted as a member of Pi Gamma Mu and the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi. He also earned a master's degree in public administration from the same university.[1][10][3][4][11][12][13]
Raposas began the Filipino Historian as an open access history website in 2012, consistently ranking as one of the top blogging websites in the Philippines.[14][15][16] The website claims to reach an average of 1 million people per day as of 2022.[10][17] Web analytics service Similarweb, meanwhile, ranks the website in the Top 500 of Websites Ranking for Dictionaries and Encyclopedias in the Philippines (327 as of July 2022).[18]
Meanwhile, his media appearances began in 2014, where the local media has popularized the moniker of him being the nation's youngest historian due to his relatively young age when he first appeared on national television. Among the networks he has been featured in include Arte TV[19][20], GMA 7[21][22][23][24][25][26][27], TV 5[28], PTV 4, IBC 13[29], ABS-CBN, Net 25, UNTV, Bombo Radyo Philippines, Radyo Pilipinas, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Philippine Star, and DZUP.[10] Raposas, however, does not nurture the said claim conferred by local media considering his academic background. A master's degree or a doctorate is usually required for a historian to be recognized in his or her field.[10][30] Besides his work with mainstream media outlets, he also maintains a podcast.[31]
In 2023, Raposas was one of the experts featured in the docufilm Gomburza produced by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines.[32][33][34][35] The documentary was released as part of the 150th anniversary of the execution of the three Filipino priests (Mariano Gomes, Jose Burgos, Jacinto Zamora) collectively called Gomburza.[36]
Raposas is one of the editorial board members of Wikijournal of Humanities, a position he has served since 2019.[37] He also serves in the editorial board of the International Journal of Academic and Practical Research.[38]
In the literary field, Raposas is a finalist for the 2021 Lampara Prize in both the New Adult and the Young Adult categories.[39][40] He has also displayed his prowess as a translator by participating in the 2022 Timpalak Mario I. Miclat sa Pagsasalin, organized by the Filipinas Institute of Translation (FIT).[41]
