Pope Francis on Tuesday appointed Fr. Herman Abcede, a Rogationist missionary, as the new bishop of Daet.
Abcede succeeds Archbishop Rex Andrew Alarcon, who was transferred to the Archdiocese of Caceres in 2024.
The bishop-elect will be the fourth bishop of the diocese, which covers parishes in Camarines Norte province.
Ordained in 1996, Abcede is the current superior of the Community of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary in Parañaque City.
He also previously served as provincial of the Rogationists in Asia and the Pacific.
