By His Touch

Miracles Happen: This real life, personal account describes a modern-day miracle regarding visions of the Virgin Mary and supernatural healing.

In 1991, in a remote Philippine town, a young 15 year old girl was suddenly the victim of an unusual medical condition—her brain began to be painfully compressed by its own life supporting cerebral fluids. The girl’s father, Rolando, was helpless and his lack of faith provided little cause for hope.

Then, on November 10, 1991, a miracle began that forever changed Rolando, his daughter, and their relationship with God.

By His Touch is Rolando’s personal diary set within the exotic island of Panay in central Philippines. Within its pages he shares the day by day true life reflections chronicling the horror of his daughter’s initial diagnosis, her eventual awe-inspiring healing, her communications with the Blessed Virgin Mary, and his own spiritual renewal that occurred as a result over the years that followed.

Rolando Yap Dy Buco was born in 1949 in Culasi, Antique, in the central region of the Philippines. He obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at the University of San Agustin, Iloilo City, in 1972, where he served as editor of the campus paper for 2 years. His 31-year career in the life insurance industry brought him close to understanding the innate human desire for the intangibles. His unplanned early retirement provided him with enough time to reflect and write down long-nurtured thoughts about his own reasons for life. "By His Touch" is his first vehicle that invites the reader to join him to stand witness to his remarkable journey of faith.
