Biography Miguel de Poblete Casasola was born in Mexico City. In 1640, he was appointed Bishop of Nicaragua but resigned before he could be consecrated. On May 20, 1648, Pope Innocent X appointed him Archbishop of Manila. On January 1, 1649, he was confirmed to the position and on September 9, 1650, he was consecrated bishop by Juan de Mañozca y Zamora, Archbishop of Mexico. He served as Archbishop of Manila until his death on December 8, 1667. While bishop, he was the Principal Consecrator of Nicolás de la Torre Muñoz, Bishop of Santiago de Cuba (1651); and Rodrigo Cárdenas, Bishop of Nueva Segovia (1651).
His nephew was José Millán de Poblete, Bishop-elect of Nueva Segovia.The Philippine Islands, 1493-1898 - "The Augustinians in the Philippines, 1670–94" p 120 - November 20, 2010 |"With appointment as bishop of Nueva Segovia came the dean of Manila, Master Don José Millán de Poblete, a priest of much virtue and discretion, and nephew of the archbishop Doctor Don Miguel Millán de Poblete, of honored memory. The vigorous age at which this dignity came to him (for he was not yet fifty) did not enable him to enjoy it [long]; for he lived very few years in the government of that church, not long enough to reach his consecration—with general regret in these islands at having lost a grand prelate, heir to the many virtues of his uncle."
