St. Pedro Calungsong, also known as Peter Calungsong, was a Catholic Filipino sacristan and missionary catechist who spread the Gospel of the Word of Christ to the Chamorro people of the Mariana Islands and Guam. He was martyred alongside Diego Luis de San Vitores on April 2nd, 1672 at the age of 17. He was known for his missionary efforts on Guam, teaching the natives of Christ and his works in the Holy Land. He baptised infants, children and adults, at a very high risk of being killed. Eventually on the year 2000, he was beatified and declared Blessed, and on October 21st, 2012, 340 years after his death, he was canonized and declared a saint.

There are many arguments on where St. Pedro Calungsong was born, however one claim which was declared viable was that he was born on the island of Cebu. Cebu and the islands surrounding are called the "Visayas" and the language spoken on these islands is Cebuano, a language quite distinct from Tagalog. He received his primary education on Guam and by the age of 14, he was selected to be a catechist on a mission to the Mariana Islands. He spoke Spanish and he practically memorized the catechism, therefore allowing him to go with the missionaries. Going alongside Diego San Vitores, the Mariana Islands mission was difficult, as the island often experienced typhoons which would destroy establishments built, the practically endless jungle traversing, and the lack of supplies reaching the Islands. Nonetheless, the pair successfully managed to baptise many of the locals, starting the birth of a Catholic majority Mariana Islands.

His martyrdom had begun after a Chinese criminal exiled from Manila spread rumors about the holy water Pedro and Diego were using. He claimed that the holy water was poisoned, causing distress and anger among the native population. This claim was ultimately believed as a pair of babies who were baptised shortly died afterward. The pair however, continued their activities and after learning that the chief's wife gave birth to a child and immediately went to baptize the child. The village chief heard of the rumors and strongly refused the baptism. In order to give him time to calm down, the two went down to the beach with children to sing Catholic hymns. The chief, who was angry with Christianity, left the scene and had a pagan, Hurao, kill the two. He originally did not wish to kill to the pair, however he was pressured to do so, breaking down to the pressure. The true conflict arose when the village chief became incredibly furious after hearing that his child was baptized with the permission of her Christian mother. The village chief threw spears at Calungsong, who had dodged them. He was known for his ability in Martial Arts, however Diego San Vitores had forbidden any violence against the natives, therefore Calungsong took the damage. Witnesses also claim that he could have fled, yet he did not want to leave San Vitores. Calungsong was struck in the chest by a spear and he fell to the ground. He was then charged at by Hurao, who then finished him off with a machete blow to the head. Calungsong was quickly absolved before his death by San Vitores and afterward San Vitores was killed. The village chief took San Vitores' crucifix and smashed it with a rock. Their bodies were dumped in the bay.

A month after he was killed, a beatification process occured, though it was only mainly for San Vitores. This was not done immediately however, and after hundreds of years in 1985, San Vitores was beatified after old files were found which detailed his cause. Alongside these files were Peter Calungsong's works on Guam. In 2000, in order to incorporate Asian laypeoples into the Great Jubilee, he paid very close attention to Peter Calungsod's cause and approved his martyrdom, declaring him beatified. In 2012, a miracle was recognized by the Catholic Church, when it was discovered that a woman who died had ressurected after a physician invoked Calungsod's intercession. He was declared a Saint that year. He has no relics, except for the very machete that killed him and his feast day is April 2nd. It has been 350 years since he was martyred.
