Rev. Ephraim S. Fajutagana, on 10 May 2011.

He was ordained to the priesthood the same year after graduating from Saint Andrew’s Theological Seminary where he obtained his Bachelor of Theology degree. Bishop Fajutagana was consecrated to the episcopate in July 2002 and served the Diocese of Cavite as Diocesan Bishop until his election as General Secretary in May 2005.
