He studied philosophy at Ateneo de Manila University in 1968–69 and theology first in Quezon City in 1969–71 and then at the Loyola School of Theology from 1972 to 1977.[1]
He was ordained a priest there on March 26, 1977, as a member of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI).[1]
He was a parish priest in Lebak, Sultan Kudarat and at the Cathedral of Cotabato (1977-1978). He then worked as a staff member of the Notre Dame Archdiocesan Seminary (1979-1981). Within the Oblates he was director of Postulants and Scholastics from 1988 to 1992, Provincial Superior of the Philippine Province from 1988 to 1992, and General Counsellor at their general administration in Rome from 1992 to 1997.[2]
