+ March 12, 2021 EVEN before the pandemic, Archbishop Romulo Valles used to be a staple presence in regular masses in San Pedro Cathedral or even masses held to commemorate a historic happening in the city such as the Roxas Night Market bombing. Catholic faithfuls may also remember seeing him passing through Rizal Park compound on his way to the San Pedro Cathedral. Others would approach him to “mano” and have a brief chitchat.
It saddened many people who know him when in the middle of last year he was reported to have a stroke. Fortunately, he eventually recovered and has been back to service as the Archbishop of Davao and the president of Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) until the present.
