Batanes and this Beatified
by Angelito P. CastroBlessed Jesús Andrés Villaverde O.P. (December 4, 1877 - ca. 1936) was beatified in Rome on October 28, 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI. He was the Dean of Theology in U.S.T. (University of Santo Tomas) from 1933 to 1934. While in Madrid, his convent was attacked by the communists in July 1936.
After taking refuge in his mother's home, his military brother, Carlos, secured him at home for three months. On October 15, 1936, he was arrested by "milicianos" (conscripts). His children tried to save their priest uncle by claiming that no cleric was in their house. But he showed up to the arresters to avoid substitute arrest of his brother. The date of his martyrdom is not known but it is certain that he was brought to the place of torture. (Some biographical details were gathered from Wikipedia, www.Answers.com and information from priests in Basco and Itbayat.)
To Ivatans and especially Sabtangans,
this Dominican priest is remembered for his missionary stint in Sabtang
(Batanes, Philippines) from 1915 – 1916. Let us, the laic and the
religious of the world, continue to pray for the cause of his sainthood.

Greetings
to everyone! It's nice to see the beauty of Batanes again after so many
long years. I stayed in Basco Batanes when I was in my elementary years
but I think I just stayed there for only 3years. I still remember my
former friends (Mary Jane Ibay, Cathy and Rommel Castillo) and my teachers
(my favorite Mrs. Hernandez, who used to be my Grade 1 teacher). When
I saw the pictures of Batanes I can't stop my tears, Basco taught me
a lot of things, my family stayed there but apparently my father decided
to send me to Manila to stay with my cousins. I love to see again the
park, pantalan, my school (Basco East Central School), Naidee, Mahatao,
Uyugan and Ivana. A lot of things I want to experience again in this
place. I really love this place and proud to be one of the Ivatans.
Well, I just hope I can visit Batanes again and see my friends and relatives
there. Regards to all my Ibanez family, kuya Charles and ate Maggie
Ii really miss you...I hope you will still remember me pag bisita ko
sa inyo. Regards to all! Hope to see you soon all!
