Biography[]

Broderick Soncuaco Pabillo was born in Victorias, Negros Occidental, on 11 March 1955 to Conrado Cordova Pabillo and Gloria Acuña Suncuaco. He attended primary school at St. Joseph School in Naga, Camarines Sur and secondary school at Don Bosco Juniorate in San Fernando, Pampanga. He obtained his bachelor of science degree in industrial education at Don Bosco College, Canlubang in 1977.[2] In 1974, he entered the novitiate of the Salesian Congregation of Canlubang, Calamba, Laguna. He made his perpetual vows on 1 April 1981. He obtained a bachelor's degree in theology at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila and a licentiate in sacred scripture at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. He was ordained a priest by Cardinal Jaime Sin, Archbishop of Manila, on 8 December 1982.[3]

He served as the parochial vicar of St. Ildefonso Parish in Makati from 1986 to 1987. He also served as rector of the Don Bosco Seminary in Parañaque from 1996 to 1999 and later the parish priest of St. Ezekiel Moreno Parish Church in Puerto Princesa from 1999 to 2006.[2]

On 24 May 2006, Pope Benedict XVI appointed him as Auxiliary Bishop of Manila and Titular Bishop of Sitifis.[3] He was consecrated bishop on 19 August 2006 by Manila archbishop Gaudencio B. Cardinal Rosales. The co-consecrators were Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines Archbishop Fernando Filoni and Pedro D. Arigo, Apostolic Vicar of Palawan.[4]

On 10 February 2020, with the departure of Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle following his appointment as the Prefect of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, Pabillo was appointed by Pope Francis as the apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Manila.[5][6] He held that until 24 June 2021, when Cardinal Jose Advincula was installed as Tagle's successor.

On 23 July 2020, Pabillo disclosed that he tested positive for COVID-19, following the release of the result of his RT-PCR test. He was an asymptomatic carrier.[7][8] He recovered from the disease as he was tested negative in August.[9]

On 29 June 2021, Pope Francis appointed him as Vicar Apostolic of Taytay.[10] He was canonically installed on 19 August 2021 on his 15th episcopal ordination anniversary.[11]
