Daniel O. Presto
Daniel Oca Presto was born April 7, 1963, in Mangaldan, Pangasinan, in the Diocese of Iba. He studied philosophy and theology at San Carlos Seminary in Makati City and obtained a master's degree in education from De La Salle University in Manila. His episcopal motto is Confido In Misericordia Dei, 'I Trust in the Mercy of God'.
He was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Iba on December 1, 1990, by Deogracias Iniguez Jr. He served as parochial vicar of St. Rita Parish, Olongapo City, and St. Michael Parish, Santa Cruz, Zambales, from 1991 to 1992; as president of the Columban Center (Columban College), Olongapo City, from 1993 to 2005; as vicar forane of the St. Joseph Vicariate, director of the St. Augustine School of Iba, and president of the Magsaysay Memorial College of San Narciso from 2005 to 2012; and as parish priest of the Holy Infant Parish, San Antonio, Zambales, from 2012 to 2018, with membership in the presbyteral council and various diocesan commissions. From 2014 to 2018 he was Vicar General of Iba and diocesan administrator of Iba, following the transfer of Florentino Lavarias to San Fernando, Pampanga. That administration was as a priest, before his episcopal appointment, and is not an episcopal tenure.
Pope Francis appointed him Bishop of San Fernando de La Union on May 9, 2018, succeeding Rodolfo Fontiveros Beltran. He was consecrated on July 30, 2018, by Florentino Lavarias, and installed on August 2, 2018, at St. William the Hermit Cathedral, as the diocese's sixth bishop, with Archbishop Socrates Villegas leading the turnover of miter and crosier.
No decree, permission, suppression, expansion, or transfer of the Traditional Latin Mass by Bishop Presto in San Fernando de La Union was found in the searches listed.
His public record in the window is the CBCP chairmanship, the environmental and fisherfolk advocacy, and the Agoo coronation, none of which is a governing act on the 1962 Missal; nothing found here is coded as such.
