PROFILE: Cardinal Jose Advincula, the listening cardinal from Capiz
Cardinal Jose Advincula, the ninth Filipino cardinal, is set to participate in the conclave to elect the successor of Pope Francis.
His appointment as a cardinal in October 2020 was announced by Pope Francis from the balcony of the papal apartments, a surprise to many, including his fellow priests from Capiz.
Advincula's formal appointment was done via livestream due to the COVID-19 pandemic, preventing him from attending the Vatican ceremony in person.
His installation as the archbishop of Manila in 2021 was overshadowed by the death of former president Benigno Aquino III on the same day.
Despite his relatively low public profile and quiet demeanor, many Catholics are curious about him as he prepares to take part in electing a new Pope.
