Biography

[edit]

Victor Bendico was born on 22 January 1960, in Roxas City, Capiz. He studied philosophy and theology at the University of Santo Tomas Central Seminary, before pursuing his doctorate in sacred liturgy at the Pontifical Institute of Saint Anselm.[2] He was ordained to the priesthood on 14 April 1984.[1]

On 1 October 2016, Pope Francis appointed him as the second Bishop of Baguio,[3] replacing the retiring bishop Carlito Joaquin Cenzon. The Archbishop of Nueva Segovia, Marlo Peralta, consecrated Bendico to the episcopate on 10 January 2017, at the Baguio Cathedral. He was installed at his post on the same day.[4]

From 2017 to 2018, he served as apostolic administrator of the Diocese of San Fernando de La Union.[5]

On 3 March 2023, Pope Francis appointed him as the fourth Archbishop of Capiz, replacing Cardinal Jose Advincula who had been the current Archbishop of Manila since 2021.[6] He was installed on 3 May 2023, by the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, Archbishop Charles John Brown.[7] He received the pallium, a symbol of his authority as metropolitan archbishop, on 18 August 2023.[8]
