He held senior management positions in the banking industry until his retirement in the Philippines. Pete and his family migrated to Canada in 1994 where they lived in Toronto and Mississauga.

Pete is a very passionate individual who loved helping the less fortunate & was an instrument in finding jobs for many people who wanted to work at the bank where he was employed. He loved basketball and boxing, played chess and was an avid crossword puzzle solver. He loved working with his crafty hands; he was interested in carpentry, gardening, and landscaping. Pete prayed all mysteries of the rosary on a daily basis.

A special thank you to the people at Post Inn Village in Oakville for their loving care and support.
