With deep sadness, we join the mourning of the passing of Most Rev. Emilio "Boy" Bataclan, DD, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of Cebu.
Bishop Boy dedicated his life to serving God, the Church, and the faithful with humility, compassion, and unwavering commitment. His shepherding presence, wisdom, and kindness touched countless lives and will be remembered with gratitude.
As we commend his soul to the loving mercy of our Lord, let us keep him and his family in our prayers.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
