Nothing is the best for Filipinos especially Roman Catholic than knowing we have a saint that is a Filipino. That is Lorenzo Ruiz. It gave pride to Filipinos especially those Catholic ones. It boost our pride as we had a Filipino saint who is known to almost all. He could be the representative for Filipinos.
Added to our pride was when another Filipino who became a saint just before 2012 ended up. It was Pedro Calungsod. After being canonized for 40 years, at last, he became a Saint. He was from Cebu. He stood for his faith to the Lord that made him suffered and died. He deserves to be idolized by many. After the declaration of being a saint, before the statue of Saint Pedro Calungsod brought back to its home somewhere in Cebu, He was being brought to 30 cities/towns in the Philippines. It let the Filipino see the newly proclaimed saint. Maasin City is one of those cities/towns.
Yehey!!! We already had two saints, two Filipino saints. How proud I am to become a Filipino. How proud I am to be a Roman Catholic. God bless!!!
