Military Ordinary
The Military Ordinary must be a Filipino-born member of the nation's church hierarchy, and is appointed by the Holy See after consultation with the government. The Pope freely nominates the Military Ordinary– normally a bishop– or institutes or confirms the candidate legitimately chosen according to the Canon Law. He belongs by right to the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines and is subject to the Congregation for Bishops.
