"Sir Ka Miling" as he is known by his colleagues, lived a great life serving others until his 93rd year. He is well loved by the Supreme Council in  Manila, and was asked to lead the Canada Region at the age of 78, mainly because of his love of the Order of the Knights of Rizal to keep Canada knights to work together. He slowed down in 2010 when his wife died.
He was instrumental in the erection of the Rizal monument  in 1988 at Earl Bale's Park, Bathurst Ave.

He brought the International Assembly to Toronto in 2000, where several hundred delegates from all over the world, came over to see the "Showcase of Rizal" in Toronto.

He is called a "Rizal Ambassador". He has been to 18 Rizal International Assembly, which include Heidelberg in Germany; Prague in the Republic of Czechoslovakia; Florida, Chicago, Las Vegas, Connecticut, and New Jersey in U.S.A.; Windsor , Winnipeg and Toronto in Canada; Manila, Davao and Calamba in the Philippines.

His friends paid their final respects to Sir Ka Miling in Scarborough. Hundreds of friend with the Knights of Rizal, Kababaihang Rizalista and other local fraternities and Associations  came over. Condolences were received from all over the world, especially from the Rizal Supreme Commander and Supreme Council inManila, Philippines; early sympathies were received from Commanders in Middle East and Arab Republic, Europe, United States, Australia and New Zealand and from many provinces of Canada. A funeral Mass was held in St. Bartholomew Parish in Scarborough.
