List of Catholic bishops in the Philippines

The following is a list of bishops of the Catholic Church in the Philippines.

The Catholic Church in the Philippines comprises:

76 Latin Church dioceses led by bishops 6 apostolic vicariates led by apostolic vicars 4 territorial prelatures led by territorial prelates The Military Ordinariate of the Philippines, for military personnel

Organization The Catholic Church in the Philippines is divided into 76 dioceses in 16 ecclesiastical provinces, as well as 6 apostolic vicariates, 4 territorial prelatures and a military ordinariate. Each province has a metropolitan archdiocese led by an archbishop, and at least one suffragan diocese. The pope appoints all archbishops and bishops, who must be at least ordained priests. The pope chooses from a list of candidates provided by the Papal Nuncio of the Philippines to the Dicastery for Bishops in Rome.

Most archdioceses and large dioceses have one or more auxiliary bishops, serving in association with the archbishop or diocesan bishop. After consultation with the Papal Nuncio to the Philippines, the pope appoints all auxiliary bishops. Some archdioceses and dioceses have a coadjutor archbishop or coadjutor bishop. The coadjutor assists an elderly or ailing archbishop or bishop with their administrative duties. After the archbishop or bishop retires or dies, the coadjutor normally succeeds him without an appointment by the pope. The pope appoints all coadjutors.

All Philippine (arch)bishops — active, retired, coadjutor, and auxiliary — are members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).
