Victor Barnuevo Bendico (born January 22, 1960) is a Filipino prelate of the Catholic Church who has been appointed the fourth Metropolitan Archbishop of Capiz.[1]

Within the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines, he chairs the Episcopal Commission for the Liturgy.[1]

Biography

[edit]

Victor Bendico was born on January 22, 1960, in Roxas City, Capiz. He studied philosophy and theology at the University of Santo Tomas Central Seminary, before pursuing his doctorate in sacred liturgy at the Pontifical Institute of Saint Anselm.[2] He was ordained to the priesthood on April 14, 1984.[1]

On October 1, 2016, Pope Francis appointed him as the second Bishop of Baguio,[3] replacing the retiring bishop Carlito Joaquin Cenzon. The Archbishop of Nueva Segovia, Marlo Peralta, consecrated Bendico to the episcopate on January 10, 2017, at the Baguio Cathedral. He was installed at his post on the same day.[4]

From 2017 to 2018, he served as apostolic administrator of the Diocese of San Fernando de La Union.[5]

On March 3, 2023, Pope Francis appointed him as the fourth Archbishop of Capiz, replacing Cardinal Jose Advincula who had been the current Archbishop of Manila since 2021.[6] He took possession of the archdiocese exactly two months later; he was installed by the Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, Archbishop Charles John Brown.[7] He received the pallium, a symbol of his authority as metropolitan archbishop, on August 18, 2023.[8]
