THE DESCRIPTION OF SAINT PEDRO CALUNGSOD The Patron of the Filipino Youth Feast Day: April 2

"In a spirit of faith, he undertook the demanding work asked of him and bravely faced the many obstacles and difficulties he met. In the face of imminent danger, he would not forsake Fr. Diego, but as a 'good soldier of Christ,' preferred to die at the missionary's side." -St. John Paul II

The 2nd Filipino-born saint was born on July 21, 1654 in one of the islands of the Visayas (Ginatilan, Cebu).

Since Pedro did so well in the religion classes of the Jesuit boarding school in Guam, he was chosen as a companion of Diego Luis de San Vitores, the Spanish Jesuit missionary who pioneered the first missionary journey to Guam in the Mariana Islands. In 1668, they reached Guam, and the first year was a triumph of graces: thousands of people lined up to attend catechism classes and to receive the sacraments.

Their success arose the envy of a Chinese impostor and a criminal from Manila who was exiled in Guam named Choco, and of the Macanjas (medicine men), the traditional sorcerers of the islands. They initiated a slander campaign against the missionaries, spreading the rumor that the water used for baptism was poisonous, and intended to kill the children. Many of the Chamorros believed them, and thus began a war against the missionaries and the Spanish soldiers.

Diego and Pedro went to Tumon to baptize a newborn child against the will of his father and the village chief named Matå'pang. When he became aware of the baptism of his daughter, he became furious and was fed up with the Christian teachings. Assisted by his friend and a pagan named Hirao, he attacked the missionaries on the beach. Pedro, after evading several spear attacks, he was eventually hit on the chest and finished off with a machete. Diego had the time to show him a crucifix and to give the absolution before being pierced with a lance and struck on the head. Pedro died on April 2, 1672, forgiving his enemies.

Beatified by St. John Paul II on March 5, 2000 and was canonized as a saint twelve years later on World Mission Sunday - October 21, 2012, by Pope (later Pope Emeritus) Benedict XVI.

Reflection: Truth Lives

Today, we remember St. Lorenzo Ruiz and his companions. San Lorenzo never thought nor intended to become a martyr. As a catechist, he sought holiness and faithfulness to God. He joinedthe mission to Japan in response to the call to preach the Gospels. 

In the process, they faced death in the mission. San Lorenzo and his companions realized there was no turning back. It was either they survive by renouncing the faith or they die professing it. San Lorenzo found a way to proclaim, “If I had a thousand lives, I will give it all to God.”

Martyrdom is grace—a vocation. We will not immediately know if we are called to it. When the situation comes, God will give us the grace to accept it. We will still have the freedom to decide whether to accept or reject it. Our natural reaction is, of course, to survive. 

Death is always feared. But death for the faith is different. The Christian puts his faith before his life. “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” Death does not end things. We have known many who died for what they believed in and their spirit and words continue to affect human lives, such as Mahatma Gandhi, Thomas More, and Ninoy Aquino, to name a few. Of course, the greatest of them all is our Lord Jesus Christ. Eliminating the medium does not necessarily eliminate the message—in fact, the more the message is heard loud.

We are proud of San Lorenzo. Before his canonization, many Filipinos — and maybe other nationalities too—thought that a Filipino can never be a saint. San Lorenzo proved us and them wrong. In fact, we now have a second one in St. Pedro Calungsod. It is just sad that both saints don’t seem to be popular among Filipinos. It is about time to cultivate the messages of their lives and believe that the Filipino Catholic can be a saint. We have a lot of qualities worthy of being a saint. We have weaknesses, too, going against us. All in all, Saints Lorenzo and Pedro made it. Kaya din natin! (We can do it too!)

~Fr. Benny Tuazon

Reflection Questions:

How do you live the truth of your faith? What are you willing to offer to proclaim those truths?

San Lorenzo and companions, pray for us!

Prayer

… for a deep and profound respect for life especially for the unborn

… for the strength and healing of the sick

… for the healing and peace of all families

Finally, we pray for one another, for those who have asked our prayers and for those who need our prayers the most.

God Bless!

Another "list of locations in Trese" post because it's been a month and idk if I should rewatch but I just want to point out more references

Trese is set in Manila (Maynila, in Tagalog), commonly known as the capital of the Philippines. However, several shots and locations reveal that this Manila is analogous to Metro Manila, a.k.a. the National Capital Region. The City of Manila (Lungsod ng Maynila) is one of 16 cities in this highly urbanized, densely populated region.

In the show, many locations are taken from real places and buildings in Metro Manila (and many more in the komiks). In Trese: After Dark, the creators explained how they went through all 13 MRT stations and eventually came up with the show's opening scene. The MRT has broken down often and has overshot onto Taft Avenue once

Apparently, the showrunners (?) didn't name all the various places they used in the show to keep things simple (for foreigners) and relatable (for Filipinos and Manilenyos). The backgrounds were absolutely beautiful. Minor spoilers ahead.

Many were thrilled to see shots of the Manila Bay skyline (?) and the Dela Rosa Access Road in Makati City, in Episode 1.

Balete Drive is a real two-way street in Quezon City, complete with urban legends.

Ibwa's aswang market is a pretty standard palengke (wet market), although somehow not as crowded as a regular human market.

The road where Alex races Maliksi seems to be a part of C-5, a beltway/network of roads and bridges (although it could be any other highway or circumferential road). There is a history of drag/street racing at midnight or early morning, when major public roads are empty, which is obviously dangerous and illegal. it's 3 AM while I'm typing this specific sentence and I can hear an engine how are people still doing this in a pandemic

We get a cool shot of the Metro Manila skyline with the Pasig River and the Ayala Bridge in Episode 2.

The Armanaz clan's tower is the Ayala Tower in Makati City (idk if they also have the horse art). The Bagyon clan's building is the Meralco headquarters / main office in Pasig City.

Livewell Village is based on various upper-class subdivisions, and "Livewell" is the name of several areas and businesses in Metro Manila alone.

Magna Mall is SM Megamall in Mandaluyong City. I'm not familiar with the boundaries between Pasig and Mandaluyong I'm not completely sure where Ortigas is

We also get shots of major roads (wishful thinking on my part makes me believe it's Quezon Boulevard but it could be any major road) sans the traffic congestion that still persists with limited public transportation operations such as in my favorite Team Trese scene.

ABC-ZNN is the counterpart of the television/media network ABS-CBN, both in name and physical location.

The cemetery in Episode 4 is most likely the Manila South Cemetery. It was said to be in "Brgy. Magdalo," a reference to the Magdalo faction of the Katipunan.

The "squatters' area" is later named "Pedro Lungsod," a reference to San Pedro Calungsod, the second Filipino to be canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. More obscurely, this plays on how several barangays and towns in the Philippines are named after saints (e.g. San Jose, San Nicolas, Santa Ana).

The hospital Hank recuperates in is the Manila Doctors' Hospital, in the City of Manila. The whole place looks cool but I've only been there once for a few hours

New Bilibid Prison, the venue of the final showdown, is in Muntinlupa City.

The post-credits scene at the end of Episode 6 apparently takes place in the Port of Manila (Pantalan ng Maynila), although I can't tell which exact harbor.

Although you know what's weird and unrealistic? Metro Manila is one of the most densely populated regions and that doesn't come out so much in the show: no traffic congestion, no crowding in the MRT station, the completely empty karinderya in Episode 5, and so on. It's probably a creative decision (?) or due to budget constraints.
