Darwin Ramos

Darwin Ramos (December 17, 1994 – September 23, 2012) was a Filipino street child, waste picker, and victim soul that became a Servant of God of the Catholic Church. Darwin discovered Catholic faith when he was 11 years old. He died from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. After his death, the "Darwin Ramos Association" requested in 2018 to Honesto Ongtioco, Bishop of the Diocese of Cubao to initiate a cause for beatification and canonization. The Solemn Opening Celebration of the cause was celebrated on August 28, 2019, at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Cubao. Darwin Ramos could become the first non-martyr Saint of the Philippines. Provided by Wikipedia
