with their beatification, i think it is also timely to introduce the beatification process of the 3 Oblate Missionaries killed during the recent times by terrorists ... We might also include some laypeople in the cause, like "Itting Pontilla, 45; Emma Casipong, 16; Melanie Patinga, 9 months; Selma Patinga and Pedro Casipong" who were killed in Patikul after the terrorists "opened fire after asking residents if they were Christian". Only 10 years have passed, I think we can still get enough evidence about their martyrdoms ...
