The solemn rites at 9 a.m. in the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral will gather top Church leaders, including Apostolic Nuncio Charles John Brown, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, CBCP President Cardinal Pablo Virgilio David, and Manila Archbishop Cardinal Jose Advincula.
Archbishops from across the country, retired prelates, and dozens of bishops from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will also take part.
