Fr. Leo was ordained on the 4th of February in the year 2017. This is my 9th year as a priest. I was ordained in Sta. Cruz Parish, City of Manila, Philippines, together with Frs. Renoir Oliver, SSS, and Bryan Adona, SSS, by Most. Rev. Sofronio Bancud, SSS, D.D. (bishop of the Diocese of Cabanatuan). Present at my ordination were my mother, Mila S. Ayuyao; sisters, nephews, and nieces; other relatives; friends; and members of my order, the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament. Sadly, my elder brother cannot come because of his work overseas, and my father passed away almost 37 years ago that year.
My official Thanksgiving Mass was on February 11, 2017, the feast day of my home parish, Our Lady of Lourdes parish.
