Brief History
Cebu originally belonged to the Diocese of Manila which was established in February 6, 1579 as a suffragan to the See of Mexico. When Manila was elevated to an archdiocese by Pope Clement VIII, Cebu was created as a suffragan diocese in August 14, 1595 along with Nueva Caceres and Nueva Segovia. Its first bishop was Pedro Agurto, an Augustinian. In April 28, 1934, it was elevated to a metropolitan archdiocese with the dioceses of Dumaguete, Maasin, Tagbilaran, and Talibon as its suffragans.
