Orlando Beltran Quevedo (Spanish pronunciation: [keˈβeðo]; born March 11, 1939) is a Filipino prelate of the Catholic Church. A cardinal since 2014, he was Archbishop of Cotabato from 1998 to 2018. He became a bishop in 1980.
Early life
Orlando Beltran Quevedo was born on March 11, 1939, in Laoag, Ilocos Norte. Beginning in 1945, he attended grades 1 to 3 in Laoag Shamrock School, and finished grades 4 to 6 in Marbel Central Elementary School in Koronadal, South Cotabato, graduating in 1950. He attended Notre Dame High School in Koronadal from 1950 to 1954.[1]
Priesthood
Quevedo studied at San José Seminary from 1954 to 1956, but spent his novitiate in St. Peter's Novitiate in Mission, Texas. He earned his degree in philosophy from San José Seminary in 1960, and in 1964 received his S.T.B. and MA in Religious Education from Oblate College (Catholic University of America) in Washington, D.C. He was ordained a priest of the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate on June 5, 1964.[1]
In 1964, he was assigned assistant parish priest of Cotabato Cathedral.[1]
Episcopacy
Quevedo was appointed Bishop-Prelate of Kidapawan by Pope John Paul II on October 28, 1980.[2] Upon the prelature's elevation to diocese, he assumed the title Bishop of Kidapawan.
On March 22, 1986, he was named Archbishop of Nueva Segovia in Ilocos Sur, and[2] on May 30, 1998, he was named Archbishop of Cotabato.[2]
Cardinal
On January 12, 2014, Pope Francis named Quevedo as one of 19 men to be inducted into the College of Cardinals in the consistory of February 22, 2014, with the titular church of Santa Maria "Regina Mundi" a Torre Spaccata.[3][4] He is the first cardinal from Mindanao[4] and, until his 80th birthday, the second Filipino cardinal-elector, along with Luis Antonio Tagle, Archbishop of Manila. Pope Francis named him member in Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace and Pontifical Council for Inter-religious Dialogue.
On November 6, 2018, Pope Francis accepted Quevedo's resignation as archbishop, and appointed Angelito Lampon as his successor.[5]
Cardinal Quevedo ceased to be a cardinal-elector on his 80th birthday in 2019.
Due to COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions and the vacancy of the Apostolic Nunciature to the Philippines, Cardinal Quevedo installed Charlie M. Inzon as the sixth Apostolic Vicar of Jolo on April 4, 2020, and Jose Cabantan as Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro on August 28, 2020.
Other posts
In 1994, Quevedo received the most votes for election to the General Council of the Secretariat of the Synod of Bishops in Rome.[4]
Quevedo is a former secretary-general of the Federation of Asian Bishops' Conferences and former president of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines.[6]
