Venerable Brother Antonio de Santiago

In 1641, he made a second successful attempt to settle in the Philippines. His last post was as the manager of the Hacienda Buenavista, where on 14 April 1665 he was the victim of an incursion by a tribe that had come down from the mountains for food; mortally wounded by an arrow, he collapsed on the trunk of a tree on which a little indigenous boy of about ten years of age had just climbed, who, seeing the Brother kneeling at the foot of the tree, naively thought that he had been keeping watch there and he stayed there until, two days later, the Brother was found dead on his knees by the farm labourers. And seeing the indigenous boy on the tree, they apprehended him and took him to the Convent in Manila where he was instructed in our faith, he was eventually baptised, so that Brother Antonio, after having years offered bodily health to so many sick people for years, had succeeded at the end of his life to offer his blood as an occasion for provide spiritual health to the terrified little black child.

Venerable Brother Lorenzo Gómez

Having been sent on a healthcare mission to the Province of Ilocos, he was ambushed by a tribe of Tinguians, who had come down from the mountains on a raid, and on 7 January 1702 and he was killed by a hail of arrows.

 Venerable Brother Juan Antonio Guémez

He was also killed by a lance on 13 May 1731 by a tribe of Ladrones during one of their frequent raids on Hacienda Buenavista. His death caused great consternation, both because of the cruelty and treachery of his killers, and also on account of the personal qualities of a man who had a deep sense of duty.
