Father Of Filipino Teen Servant Of God Released From Jail
SERVANT OF GOD – The father of the Filipino boy Servant of God was released from prison.
A teenager named Darwin Ramos could possibly become the next Filipino saint after San Pedro Calungsod and San Lorenzo Ruiz.
The Vatican already declared the Pinoy as the “Servant of God,” which is a part of a process to become a saint.
Bishop Ontiongco said they are now studying the life of the young Filipino. They are collecting stories and testimonies on the Christian life of Darwin
“The Vatican has given us the signal to go deeper in his life how he lived his faith and how he gave witness to Jesus to whom he was very close,” he said.
The Pinoy teenager grew up collecting scraps in exchange of money. Darwin also suffered a disease called Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
His body became weak but despite his illness, he continued helping his fellow teenagers because of his love for Jesus Christ.
Unfortunately, Darwin died in September 2012 because of the disease.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN, the father of Darwin Ramos, Jimenez Ramos, has been detained in Pasay City jail for two years because of illegal drugs.
On June 10, he was released from prison and expressed that he regretted all the thing he has done for himself and his family. He admitted that he became weak and got himself into drugs.
“Alam ko wala na akong mukhang ihaharap sa kanya. Alam ko maligaya na po siya at nasa piling ng Diyos,” he said.
According to the report, Jimenez Ramos said he’s glad knowing his son could possibly become the next Filipino saint.
“Masaya naman po ako kahit paano dahil simula po sa pagkabata napalaki po siya ng maayos kahit hirap kami sa buhay,” said Jimenez.
