New archbishop installed in Cebu, PH's 'cradle of Christianity'
Alberto Uy was installed as the new archbishop of Cebu on September 30, making him the fifth metropolitan archbishop to lead the largest archdiocese in the Philippines.
The installation ceremony, held at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral, was attended by hundreds of faithful and notable figures including Papal Nuncio Archbishop Charles Brown and Cardinals Luis Antonio Tagle, Pablo Virgilio David, and Jose Advincula.
Uy, 58, who previously served as bishop of Tagbilaran in Bohol for nearly a decade, accepted the daunting call made by Pope Leo XIV in July, expressing his belief in God's plan.
He pledged to bring the archdiocese's 4.7 million faithful closer to God.
Cebu is referred to as the 'cradle of Christianity' in the Philippines and is home to the Santo Niño image and the Sinulog festival.
