For this edition, let us remember Fr. Teresito "Chito" Soganub, martyr of inter-religious dialogue, who survived 117 days as hostage of violent extremists in Marawi City in 2017. The Vicar-General of the Prelature of Marawi spent 23 years in the country’s lone Islamic city. After his escape from his captors,Fr.
