I made this up with a few friends while in a bar in the middle of nowhere cut off from the rest of civilization. I heard recently that no Filipino saints have ever been selected and feel this is a wrong that must be righted. I know of at least one Filipino who has passed the criteria for sainthood (performing three miracles), Ferdinand Marcos. The miracles he performed are: 1) He took millions, possibly billions of dollars out of one of the world's poorer nations. 2) He stayed married to Imelda for over 30 years. 3) He died of natural causes. -- Edited by Brad Templeton.
