On the last full week of this month, the nation remembers the famed painter Juan Luna on his 165th birth anniversary.

While his comparatively short but meaningful life is worth revisiting, there is one important detail that needs to be publicly settled: when exactly was he born?
There are three possible dates. Learn more about them in this article:
