Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Cardinal Jose Advincula, and Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David will be among the 135 cardinal-electors who will pick the next pope.
Cardinal Tagle is the Pro-Prefect for the Section of First Evangelization of the Dicastery for Evangelization and is among those considered to have a significant chance of being elected pope.
Cardinal Advincula is the Archbishop of Manila, and Cardinal David is the Bishop of Kalookan and serves as president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.
