Saint Lorenzo Ruiz (1600–1637), the first Filipino saint, was a layman martyred in Nagasaki, Japan, for refusing to renounce his faith. Canonized in 1987, he is a patron of the Philippines, where 86 million Catholics (80% of the population) venerate him. His shrine in Manila inspires Filipino diaspora devotion worldwide.
