Today, August 11, 2026, the ๐ธ๐๐๐ ๐ฝ๐๐. ๐ท๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฏ.๐ฏ. was officially installed as the 7๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฉ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐จ๐๐๐ฌ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฅ๐จ๐.
At the heart of his episcopal identity is his motto: ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐ โ โ๐ ๐๐ฟ๐๐๐.โ A simple yet profound expression of faith, surrender, and confidence in the love and mercy of God.
This trust is beautifully reflected in his coat of arms, where the Heart of Jesus takes prominence, radiating rays of red and blue that unite the devotions to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Divine Mercy. It speaks of the very foundation of his conviction: that even amid moments of uncertainty and deep discernment, Godโs love and mercy remain greater than our fears and unworthiness.
The coat of arms also bears the monogram of Mary, our Queen, pointing to his deep entrustment to the Blessed Mother, while the Dominican Cross recalls the formation and years of study that shaped his journey to the priesthood.
Today, as he begins his ministry as our shepherd, may his motto, ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐ฟ๐, become a prayer for the whole Diocese of Bacolod: we trust in the Lord, we trust in His mercy, and we trust in the path He has prepared for His Church.
With Louie, our Bishop, we continue to pray for wisdom, strength, humility, and courage as he shepherds the people entrusted to his care. May the Sacred Heart of Jesus guide his ministry, and may Mary, our Queen, always accompany him.
