During the time of the late Jaime Cardinal Sin, a petition for the sainthood of Pedro Calungsod was initiated. The pope wanted to see how Pedro Calungsod looks like so the Catholic bishops led by the then Cardinal Sin had to come up with a model whom they imagined to be as close as the likeness of Pedro Calungsod. They fielded scouts in the universities who took pictures of male students who would be a possible candidate.
It was, from among a number of pictures that the picture of Ronald Tubid was luckily picked and decided upon by the church authorities to be adopted as Pedro Calungsod.
