today, a lot of filipinos are celebrating because of today is the canonization of blessed pedro calungsod. he is martyr from visayas region. in fact, little is known about blessed pedro - even his hometown. some say that he is from cebu, bohol, ilo-ilo. where ever he is from filipinos are still proud.
imagine, we know very little thing about him - so bad. he gave his time and devotion to spread the words of God at a very young age - 21. all i can remember when i was at his age is i am busy flirting and studying - lol! the gospel for today speaks so much about his life. something we should follow. he may not be the leader of the expedition that brought him to death but he died like as if he is the leader - a type of leadership that God wants us to be - a servant leader.
i first heard this so-called servant leadership when rico yan died last 2002. he died at early age of 27. they said that he died because of drug overdose after hearing that claudine baretto (his girlfriend at that time) gave up her pregnancy. anyways, for some he died will full of honor and dignity. fortunately, we have the resources to know where rico yan is from. he is a matinee idol, entrepreneur, model and actor - dami!
so, what's my reason of mentioning these two young people in this entry? oh well, i just thought how God is so great he gave us pedro calungsod. a person of action and epitome of what servant leadership is. a character that rico would like to practice if he was just given a chance. how good right?
