About more than 12 years ago, I saw on TV a documentary wherein a young semminarian named Bro. Richie from Ateneo de Manila sacrificed his life for the safety of his community. I cannot recall all the details as it was long time ago and I think it was not even covered by big media networks in the Philippines. Fortunately, I was not able to forget his name as he was the one who made me dream that I would to the same for my community. This young man inspired me to look at the broader aspect of life and service to God.
When I saw the documentary about his life, It never occurs to me that I would be, in the future, have to travel to Cambodia. The country wherein his last breath was dedicated for the humanity and glory of God. I'm working in Cambodia for more than a year now. I never stop to think about Bro. Richie. But as of now, all I know is his name.
