TAGBILARAN CITY—Most Rev. Crispin Barrete Varquez, D.D., will be formally installed as the eighth bishop of the Diocese of Tagbilaran on Oct. 27.

The canonical possession and solemn installation will be held at 9 a.m. at the St. Joseph the Worker Cathedral Shrine-Parish in Tagbilaran. The installation marks a significant transition in the leadership of the Catholic Church in the region. Bishop Varquez's tenure in Borongan has been marked by his pastoral work and leadership.
