An Interview with Fr. Ramon Abadicio Manalo, SSP – “A Missionary Should Walk with the People…Sharing their Joys and Struggles”

For more than five decades, Fr. Ramon Abadicio Manalo has walked the path of priesthood with unwavering dedication. A Filipino religious priest of the Society of St. Paul, his ministry has taken him, through different missions, and into the hearts of the faithful. On May 17, Our Lady of Mt.

Eduardo Aguero, in the presence of the parish priest, Fr. Domingos Un. The celebration continued with a joyful community lunch, where parishioners and clergy gathered to honor his lifelong service.
