Biography

De los Reyes was the next Kapampangan victim together Padre Sebastián de Monroy, SJ, five Mexican soldiers, and a Spaniard. On Sunday, 6 September 1676, de los Reyes and the missionary team were killed as they were about to board a boat in the western village of Sumay (now part of Naval Base Guam of the United States Navy) bound for Hagåtña, the island's capital to the northeast. They were slain with a hail of stones, clubs and spears thrown by the indigenous Chamorro people whom they had tried to convert.

gollark: They get them on monthly plans, I generally (have my parents) buy phones, then have to replace them every 1.5-2 years when they randomly fail in some way, probably because I horribly mistreat them?
gollark: My brother has a Nokia phone and my other brother has a Samsung one, both of which they somehow kept for way longer than me.
gollark: I mean, I generally don't think buying phones based only on *brand* is very smart.
gollark: I've *maybe* made a decision I'm maybe satisfied with, but I haven't actually gone through with it because I remain unsure.
gollark: Unrelatedly, trying to choose a phone to replace my broken one has been an annoyingly complex multi-day ordeal because phones now are bad.
