Carillon Bells

During his 75th birthday on October 19, President Gloria Arroyo inaugurated the carillon, now an added attraction in the region being the first and only bell system in Cagayan Valley. The birthday celebration also marked the end of the Archbishops tenure as pastor of the entire archdiocese, with the dioceses of Ilagan and Bayombong covering the provinces of Isabela, and Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino, respectively. The archbishop is known as one of the closest ally in the CBCP.
