Per the efforts of conquistador Martín de Goiti—who founded the City of Manila by uniting the dominions
of Sulayman IIIof Namayan, and Sabag, Rajah Ache Matanda of Maynila, who was a vassal to the Sultan of Brunei,
and Lakan Dula of Tondo—the Diocese of Manila was established on February 6, 1579 through the Papal bull Illius
Fulti Præsidio by Pope Gregory XIII, encompassing all Spanish colonies in Asia as a suffragan of the Archdiocese of
Nueva España. Fray Domingo de Salazar, a Dominican from the Convent of San Sebastian in Salamanca, Spain,
was selected by King Philip II of Spain to be bishop of the new diocese and was presented to the pope.[2]
Over the course of history and growth of Catholicism in the Philippines, the diocese was elevated and new dioceses
had been carved from its territory. On August 14, 1595, Pope Clement VIII raised the diocese to the status of an
archdiocese with Bishop Ignacio Santibáñez elevated as its first archbishop. Three new dioceses were created as
suffragans to Manila: Nueva Cáceres, Nueva Segovia, and Cebu. With the creation of these new dioceses, the
territory of the archdiocese was reduced to the city of Manila and the adjoining civil provinces in proximity
including Mindoro Island. It was bounded to the north by the Diocese of Nueva Segovia, to the south by the Diocese
of Cebu, and to the southeast by the Diocese of Nueva Cáceres.[3]

Interior of the Throne Room in the Archbishop's Palace as it was during the Spanish colonial period.

During the Hispanic period, the Archdiocese was ruled by a succession of Spanish and Latino archbishops.
The British occupation of Manila during the Seven Years' War saw the temporary conversion of Sultan Azim ud-Din I
of Sulu to Catholicism, the massive looting and destruction of ecclesiastical treasures, as well as the burning of
churches by Britishsoldiers, Sepoy mercenaries and rebellious Chinese residents in Binondo. This episode was
particularly damaging to Philippine scholarship due to the fact that the monasteries holding the archives and artifacts
about the precolonial Philippine Rajahnates, Kedatuans, Sultanates and Wangdoms and their conversion to
Catholicism; were either burnt, lost or looted by the British. An example of which would be the Boxer Codex, whose
earliest owner Lord Giles of Ilchester, had inherited it from an ancestor who stole it from Manila during the British
Occupation.[4]
Nevertheless, peace was subsequently restored after the Protestant British occupation. In the time after this, the
Catholic religious orders (with the exception of the Jesuits who were temporarily suppressed by the Spaniards due
to their role in anti-imperialist movements in Latin America) became the powerful driving force in the Archdiocese of
Manila. The local diocesan clergy resented the foreign religious orders due to their near monopoly of ecclesiastical
positions. The opposition of the religious orders against an autonomous diocesan clergy independent of them lead
to the martyrdom of priests Mariano Gómez, José Burgos, Jacinto Zamora collectively known as Gomburza. This
inspired the Jesuit educatedJose Rizal to form the La Liga Filipina, to ask for reforms from Spain and recognition of
local clergy.
Rizal was executed and the La Liga Filipina dissolved. The 1896 Philippine revolution was triggered when the
Spanish discovered the anti-colonial secret organisation Katipunan, and ended Spanish rule. The United States took
the Philippines from Spain in the 1898 Spanish–American War; this developed into fighting between the Philippine
revolutionaries and the U.S. in the 1899–1902 Philippine–American War, followed by victory for the U.S. and
disestablishment of the Roman Catholic Church as the state church of the Philippines. In the period after the war,
Philippine churches were restored in the Art-Deco architectural motif. There was a looming threat of apostasy and
schism with the rise of anti-clerical Philippine Freemasonry and the establishment of the Philippine Independent
Church due to Filipino anger against Spanish ecclesiastical corruption.[5][6] In response, the Vatican supported
Philippine independence and applied a policy of reinforcing orthodoxy which resulted in the majority of the Filipinos
remaining faithful to the Roman Catholic Church.
The province of Mindoro was established as an independent diocese on April 10, 1910 by virtue of a Decretum
Consistoriale signed by Pope Pius X, implementing the Bull Quae Mari Sinico of Pope Leo XIII. On the same date,
the Diocese of Lipa was created, with jurisdiction over the provinces of Batangas, Tayabas, Marinduque, and some
parts of Masbate. In May 1928, Pope Pius XI established the Diocese of Lingayen, carved from Manila and Nueva
Segovia. In this creation 26 parishes were separated from Manila. He also named Our Lady of Guadalupe as a
patroness of the Filipinopeople in 1938.
December 8, 1941 marked the beginning of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines.[7] Members of the
secretive Black Dragon Society had infiltrated all facets of Philippine life and had greatly guided the invading
Japanese forces. World War 2 marked a period of irreplaceable loss to the Archdiocese of Manila. The combination
of violent theft and arson done by the Japanese and the indiscriminate carpet bombing perpetuated by
the Americans during the Battle of Manila (1945) lead to the permanent loss of many of the ancient Gothic, Art-
Deco, and Earthquake Baroque churches found in the Archdiocese of Manila.[8]
In the aftermath of the war, in September 1942, Pope Pius XII declared Our Lady of Immaculate Conception as
the Principal Patroness of the Philippines by virtue of the Papal Bull, Impositi Nobis, along with
Saints Pudentiana and Rose of Lima as secondary patrons.[9]
Due to the heavy damages resulted from World War II, the Manila Cathedral underwent major rebuilding from 1946
to 1958. The Parish of San Miguel served as pro-cathedral or temporary cathedral of the local church until the
Manila Cathedral was reopened and consecrated in 1958.
On December 11, 1948, the Apostolic Constitution Probe Noscitur further divided the Archdiocese of Manila by
placing the northern part of the local church in the new Diocese of San Fernando. On November 25, 1961, the
Archdiocese of Manila was again partitioned with the creation of the Diocese of Malolos for the province
of Bulacan in the north and the Diocese of Imus for the province of Cavite in the south.
Pope John Paul II declared the Manila Cathedral a minor basilica in 1981 through a Motu Proprio Quod Ipsum. In
1983, the province of Rizal, together with the city of Marikina and the northeastern part of Pasig, was placed under
the new Diocese of Antipolo.
The archdiocese witnessed many grace-filled church events such as the Second Synod of Manila (1911), the Third
Synod of Manila (1925), the 33rd International Eucharistic Congress (1937), the First Plenary Council of the
Philippines (1953), the papal visit of Pope Paul VI (1970), the Fourth Synod of Manila (1979), the papal visits
of Pope John Paul II (the first in 1981 and the second in 1995), the National Marian Year (1985), the National
Eucharistic Year (1987), the Second Plenary Council of the Philippines (1991), the Second Provincial Council of
Manila (1996), the 4th World Meeting of Families (2003), and the papal visit of Pope Francis (2015).
In 2002, two more dioceses were carved out of the Archdiocese: the Diocese of Novaliches and the Diocese of
Parañaque. In 2003, three more dioceses were erected: Cubao, Kalookan, and Pasig.

The seat of the Archbishop is in the Manila Cathedral, under the patronage of the Our Lady of the Immaculate
Conception. After having been served by a single diocesan bishop, nineteen archbishops were later appointed from
Spain. In 1903, the archdiocese received its first American archbishop as appointed by the Holy See. Following the
tenure of Archbishop Jeremiah James Harty from St. Louis, Missouri, the Irishman Michael J. O'Doherty was
appointed and received on September 6, 1916. O'Doherty would lead the church in times when the Filipinos were
petitioning for sovereignty from the United States and the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines during World War
II. When O'Doherty died after Philippine independence in 1946, Most Rev. Gabriel M. Reyes, already serving as
coadjutor archbishop, became the first native Filipino chosen for the position. Reyes' successor, Archbishop Rufino
Jiao Santos, became the first Filipino to become a cardinal in 1960. After Santos' death in 1973, Auxiliary Bishop
Artemio Casas was named in the capacity of vicar-capitular (presently termed as Apostolic Administrator) to oversee
the archdiocese until a bishop was officially named. On January 21, 1974, Pope Paul VI appointed then-Archbishop
of Jaro Jaime Sin as the 30th Archbishop of Manila. Archbishop Sin was named cardinal in 1976. In 2003, after
undergoing juridical changes, the archdiocese received the Most Rev. Gaudencio Rosales, Archbishop of Lipa, as
successor to Cardinal Sin. Pope Benedict XVI later elevated Rosales to the cardinalate on March 24, 2006. On
October 13, 2011, Most Reverend Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle, Bishop of Imus, was named archbishop and was later
made a cardinal by Benedict XVI on November 24, 2012.
