History
Pope John XXIII canonically erected what is now the Diocese of Tagum (Latin: Dioecesis Tagamna) as a Prelature Nullius on January 13, 1962, with Joseph Regan M.M. as local ordinary. On October 11, 1980, Pope John Paul II raised it to a diocese, naming Pedro Dean its first Filipino bishop ordinary and Ramon Villena auxiliary bishop. A Latin Church jurisdiction suffragan to the Archdiocese of Davao, its territory takes in the civil provinces of Davao del Norte (excluding the city of Samal and the southern portion of the Lasang River) and Davao de Oro.
