“Who can ever learn the will of God?
Human reason is not adequate for the task,
And our philosophies tend to misled us,
Because our mortal bodies weigh our souls down,
The body is a temporary structure made of earth;
A burden to the active mind.
All we can is make guesses about things on earth;
We must struggle to learn your will,
Unless you first gave him Wisdom,
And sent your Holy Spirit down
to him,
In this way people on earth have been set
On the right path,
Have learned what pleases you,
And have been kept safe by Wisdom.”
Wisdom of Solomon 9:13-18
Mystics
or visionaries are subjected to skepticism or cynicism of the general
public and the founder of the Holy Rosary Mission of the Philippines
(HRMP), Bro. Ruben, endured these from his early youth, for even then he was
visited by spiritual manifestations, which caused him suffering and a deep
sense of isolation. He discovered that a "healing gift" had been bestowed
upon him, and he generously shared this with all those who sought his help.
In May 1966, Bro. Ruben,
afflicted with a mysterious hemorrhage, was visited by a beautiful Lady in white who asked him to work for
the Lord. Reluctantly, he accepted the commands of this Lady, and thus, began his service to the Lord. Giving up his well-paying
job, Bro. Ruben started a journey, which continues to this day.
Along the way, many religious helped
to encourage him during moments of doubt, and thus, his faith was strengthened and led to the founding of the mission. Among
those who helped him were Msgr. Pedro Sison, parish priest of Mangaldan as spiritual adviser, Msgr. Limon, parish priest of
Dagupan, and Rev. Fr. Weng Escano, parish priest of Calasiao, Pangasinan.

Then in 1972, Bro. Ruben received
an invitation to heal a man in Parang, Marikina, and this served as the cornerstone of the more tangible part of the mission
because land was acquired where a chapel under the supervision of Bro. Nestor Barrinuevo was built. On June 2, 1977, the Holy
Rosary Mission of the Philippines was registered at the Security and Exchange Commission of the Philippines as a non-stock
and non-profit corporation.

His Eminence Jaime Cardinal Sin
officiated at the Holy Mass during the inauguration of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary on August 25. 1979.
This further motivated Bro. Ruben to listen and follow the instructions he was given through the Holy Angels.
With Msgr. Constancio R. Panlilio,
former secretary and vice chancellor of the Diocese of San Fernando, Pampanga, as his mentor and spiritual adviser, and in
partnership with Rev. Fr. Gervasio (Gerry) Beronilla, assistant camp chaplain of Malacanang, Bro. Ruben's mission spread nationwide
as well as overseas. He visited remote areas in the Mt. Province, Pangasinan, Tarlac, Bicol, Naga, Isabela, Mindanao, and
Negros Occidental. In 1982, his mission spread to Hong Kong, and in 1983, to the USA.
Military priests were invited
from Camp Aguinaldo to administer the sacraments to the members of the mission. Among those who came were Rev. Fr. Teofilo
Rustia, Rev. Fr. Paterno Gorospe, including Rev. Fr. Tito Aguilos (who chose to spend the last month of his life in the mission).
Fr. Gerry started officiating the sacraments in 1982. During the invasion of Malacanang in 1986, he
escaped death and brought out the cup and chalice to the chapel in Marikina. Later, he asked to be assigned as the resident
priest of the mission.

On August 27, 1989, a four-story
structure was added to the compound in Marikina, where orphans and elderly, the sick and the disabled were housed and cared
for. Chapels have also been built in Davao, Mindanao and in San Carlos, Negros Occidental. Numerous patients have also been
healed physically and spiritually in the pools beside the chapel in Maasin, Pangasinan.

On November 5, 2001, Bro. Ruben
with the support of the HRMP community, started building the Pyramid of the Holy Angels in the Marikina compound. Considered
as the answer to the prayers of the poor and the needy, its divine power and energy has already healed patients with terminal
cancer, among others. The water system in the pyramid produces energized drink, and the garden provides aesthetic beauty
as well as a source of herbal treatment.
