Many people of Aracan was sad due to the death of Fr. Fausto.
Father Fausto -  the blog of the PIME missionaries in the Philippines reads - was assassinated outside his parish in Arakan, North Cotabato, Mindanao.  Around 8 o'clock in the morning he was getting into his car to go to Kidapawan, 60 km from the mission, for a diocesan meeting, when a killer with a motorcycle helmet approached him and fired several shots..

For over 32 years Fausto had worked closely with the natives in the area, the Manobos, training and organizing small mountain communities. In this manner he tried to meet their daily needs and aspirations, work and school, but to "answer" also meant to addressing  more powerful forces that are more interested in property and personal interests than in local and universal brotherhood. Several years ago he had already been threatened by an armed group belonging to the Bagan clan. On that occasion he was protected by the Manobos Indians themselves."
