Father Ecequiel was a man sensitive to art and forms that reflected beauty and refer us to God itself. He was a man of unparalleled pastoral service. He was an excellent teacher, chaplain, vice-director of schools, and coadjutor of several parishes in Manila.
He lived in the Royal Convent of Santo Tomás in Ávila under the care of his Dominican brothers and trained personnel for his needs. He left for the Father's house on September 17, 2019. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Parish of Santo Tomás on September 19, 2019 at 11:00 am, Ávila.
We pray in the Province for his eternal rest.
