Ministry

Trance was ordained on May 17, 1978, and incardinated in the Archdiocese of Jaro. After several years of pastoral practice, he became involved with the seminary in Iloilo, where he was, among others, librarian, vice-rector and rector. [1]

On May 14, 2004, Pope John Paul II appointed him Coadjutor Bishop of Catarman. [2] He was consecrated a bishop on July 22, 2004, by Archbishop Antonio Franco. On March 10, 2005, he assumed full rule in the diocese. [3]

Resignation

On December 8, 2023, he announced his resignation during the mass of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception in which Pope Francis accepted. He cited health reasons as the cause for his early retirement. In turn, Auxiliary Bishop Nolly Buco of the Diocese of Antipolo will serve as apostolic administrator until he is installed. He resigned at the age of 70, five years ahead of the mandatory retirement age of 75 for bishops. His resignation was also publicized in the Vatican the same day at noon (7 PM in the Philippines).
