Eastern Samar Has Two New Priests

The Diocese of Borongan has two new priests: Fr. Rolly Tabo of Lalawigan, Borongan and Fr. Ruben Baquilod of Maydolong.

I was able to attend Fr. Tabo’s ordination in Lalawigan on July 29, which was officiated by His Excellency Bishop Crispin Varquez.

Varquez called Tabo his firstborn since he is the first priest he ordained since he was installed as Bishop of Borongan. Aside from that, he advised the new priest a few things, from serving Christ, helping the Church grow, believing in what he preaches, to living what he teaches. Also, Varquez told Tabo to lean how to sacrifice himself for the sake of a higher value.

Below are some pictures and a video of the said event.

Were you there during the ordination of Fr. Rolly or Fr. Ruben? Send us your pictures or links to your videos by Contacting Us.

Edited on August 11, 6pm: corrected Fr. Rolly’s ordination from July 30 to July 29. Thanks to Nanay.
