Miguel de Poblete Casasola was born in Mexico City.[3] In 1640, he resigned as Bishop of Nicaragua.[1][4] On May 20, 1648, Pope Innocent X appointed him Archbishop of Manila.[3] On January 1, 1649, he was confirmed to the position and on September 9, 1650, he was consecrated bishop by Juan de Mañozca y Zamora, Archbishop of Mexico.[3] He served as Archbishop of Manila until his death on December 8, 1667.[3] While bishop, he was the Principal Consecrator of Nicolás de la Torre Muñoz, Bishop of Santiago de Cuba (1651); and Rodrigo Cárdenas, Bishop of Nueva Segovia (1651).[3]

The vigorous age at which this dignity came to him (for he was not yet fifty) did not enable him to enjoy it [long]; for he lived very few years in the government of that church, not long enough to reach his consecration—with general regret in these islands at having lost a grand prelate, heir to the many virtues of his uncle."
