Produktbeschreibung

Brother Willy had one thing in common with billionaire Edward Cole and car mechanic Carter Chambers-the two protagonists in the movie "Bucket List." It was cancer. Like the two characters, Brother Willy had items left on his bucket list when he learned his diagnosis: learn how to cook, paint, and write the highlights of his life. He did write-all eight paragraphs of it. Then he died. In this extraordinary biography, you'll learn how Brother Willy joined the Religious Order of the Marist Brothers when he was sixteen. From his early life living on a farm without electricity to his activism as director of the Socio-Pastoral Institute during the fraught times under Martial Law in the Philippines, he lived an eventful life. Marginalized, scoffed at, and labeled a communist, in the end Brother Willy triumphed, earning his Marist superior's admiration, who hailed him as "the champion of the lost, the last, and the least!" Eventually, he would rise to become president of Notre Dame of Dadiangas University and Notre Dame of Marbel University. He's fondly remembered as a champion of Filipino youth and the Marist education and mission.
