David William Antonio

Archbishop David William Antonio has achieved remarkable milestones within the Catholic Church, rising from a humble beginnings in Pamplona to the highest ranks of ecclesiastical leadership. His dual doctorates in Canon Law and Sacred Theology reflect a lifetime of scholarly pursuit and intellectual excellence. Being appointed Auxiliary Bishop at a relatively young age in 2011 showcased his early promise, while his subsequent elevation to Bishop of Ilagan and then Metropolitan Archbishop of Nueva Segovia demonstrates sustained trust from the Holy See. His upcoming receipt of the Pallium in 2026 will mark a historic moment, symbolizing his unity with the Pope and his authority over the archdiocese.
