I did not imagine that this would happen,” Archbishop Jose Advincula Jr. said through Fr. “My first reaction was that there might have been a mistake because there are three bishops in Panay named Jose. Maybe there was a mistake in the family name,” Advincula said, referring to Jaro Archbishop Jose Romeo Lazo, Kalibo Bishop Jose Corazon Tala-oc and himself. Advincula, 68, a native of Dumalag town in Capiz, has been serving as archbishop of Capiz since 2011. He is the ninth Filipino cardinal and among four who are living, including Gaudencio Rosales, Orlando Quevedo and Luis Antonio Tagle.
