Pedro Calungsod, a Filipino martyr and missionary, died in 1672 while spreading Christianity in the Ladrones Islands (now part of Guam). He was killed alongside Bishop Diego Luis de San Vitores by local Chamorros who opposed their missionary efforts. His death is attributed to the conflict between the missionaries' teachings and the indigenous beliefs, leading to tensions that resulted in violence. Calungsod is revered as a martyr for his dedication to faith and service.
