History
Pope John Paul II created the Diocese of Cubao (Latin: Dioecesis Cubaoënsis) on June 28, 2003, drawing it from the ecclesiastical district of Cubao within the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila. Canonical erection followed on August 28, 2003, when Honesto Ongtioco was installed as the first bishop. The Latin Catholic diocese serves the Cubao district of Quezon City in northern Metro Manila, Philippines.
What is kept by invitation
The record above is published because it is public: what this see is, when it was erected, who holds its chair, and where it stands among its neighbours.
The working record is not. The chancery's address, telephone and email, the clergy of the see, and the hours of Mass, confession and adoration in the parishes within it are kept for members, and a person reads every request.
