CBCP News said the prelate was elected Thursday, July 8, during the bishops’ two-day online plenary assembly.
David, the current vice president of the CBCP, will replace Davao Archbishop Romulo Valles of Davao.
Ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of San Fernando in 1983, the 62-year old prelate is known as one of the country’s leading Bible scholars.
In 2006, he was appointed auxiliary bishop of the same archdiocese, a post he served for around 14 years until he was transferred to the Kalookan diocese in January 2016.
David also previously chaired the CBCP Episcopal Commission on Biblical Apostolate and was also among the five Filipino bishop delegates to the Synod of Bishops on the Word of God in the Vatican in 2008.
