CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The remains of the late Archbishop in this city's Archdiocese will be laid to rest on Wednesday, August 7, inside the city's main cathedral following Catholic tradition.
Archbishop Antonio Ledesma said this on Friday referring to the wake and interment rites of the late Archbishop Emeritus Jesus Tuquib.
Ledesma said Tuquib died on August 1 after a "long, lingering illness."
Tuquib was the first Filipino to be heralded as the Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro, and is known for his stance against the construction of a casino in the city.
He was also known to be one of the active personalities in the city to lead the call for the ouster of then-president Joseph Estrada, complementing the Edsa-2 events in Manila.
The late prelate served as Archdiocese for 18 years between 1988 and 2006. Before that, he was appointed as the first bishop in Pagadian City in 1973 until 1984.
Tuquib was ordained as a priest for the diocese of Tagbilaran in Bohol in 1959.
