Biography

Tria Tirona finished his elementary and secondary education at Centro Escolar University in 1952 and 1958. He completed a degree in political science at San Beda College before he entered San Carlos Seminary in Makati to finish philosophy in 1968.[2] He was appointed apostolic administrator of Malolos on January 1996 and installed Bishop of Malolos on January 28, 1997. He was named Bishop of Infanta on June 28, 2003, and was installed on August 27, 2003, at the Prelature of Infanta in Quezon province.[3]

Archbishop of Caceres

On September 8, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI elevated Tirona to Archbishop of Caceres, replacing the retiring Leonardo Legaspi.[4]

The Archdiocese of Cáceres is a Metropolitan See that comprises the Bicol region, while directly overseeing the third, fourth and fifth congressional districts of Camarines Sur and is centered in Naga City. The Archdiocese, having been founded in 1595 in the Royal City of Nueva Caceres (modern-day Naga City), is considered one of the oldest in the Philippines with Cebu, Segovia and Manila, and once had jurisdiction that stretched from Samar in the south to Isabela Province in the north. The seat of the Archdiocese is in Naga City, also known as the Queen City of Southern Luzon.
