St. Lorenzo Ruiz is the very first Filipino saint. Lorenzo was born in the Chinese district of Manila. He was happily married to a lovely Filipina, who bore him three children. In 1636, while working as a clerk in Binondo Church, he was falsely accused of murdering a Spaniard. To escape execution, he fled with some Dominican missionaries bound for Japan. When the ship reached Okinawa, they were arrested and horribly tortured. The martyrs were made to swallow pails of water while some soldiers trampled on their belly, came out from their mouth, nose and ears mixed with blood. From the Our Credo website of ThinkQuest.
