MANILA, Philippines - The Vatican has appointed Cebu Auxiliary Bishop Julito Cortes as the new bishop of Dumaguete.

The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippinesâ€™s website said Pope Francis announced Cortesâ€™ designation in Rome on Saturday.

Cortes has been a parish priest of Bacong, Negros Oriental, which is part of Dumaguete diocese, for more than five years. He also served as the dioceseâ€™s vicar general for 11 years and later diocesan administrator until July 2001.
