Oscar Jaime Florencio

He studied Philosophy at the Sacred Heart Seminary, in Palo, and Theology at the University of Santo Tomas, in Manila.

He was consecrated bishop on September 4, 2015 by John Forrosuelo Du, Archbishop of Palo.

Co-consecrators were Giuseppe Pinto, Apostolic Nunciature to the Philippines; and Jose Serofia Palma, Archbishop of Cebu.

On July 5, 2017, the Pope named Florencio as the apostolic administrator of the Military Ordinariate Philippines (MOP) after the demise of Most.

[5] On March 9, 2024, Florencio strongly objected to use of semi-automatic firearms for civilians (Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act): “Personally, I would not want to have our civilians be allowed to possess semi-automatic rifles or any rifles for that matter.”[6] This article about a Catholic bishop or archbishop from the Philippines is a stub.
