He was the 32nd Archbishop of Manila from 2011 to 2020. Tagle also was the president of Caritas International and of the Catholic Biblical Federation.[2] He was born in Manila.

He is well known for his progressive views and for his works on helping the poor in the Philippines.[3][4] He has been called the "Asian Francis", given his closeness with Pope Francis,[5] and for being an important voice of the Catholic Church's progressive wing.[6]

Since Pope Francis's death, Tagle has been called papabile, a leading candidate for election as pope during the 2025 papal conclave.[7][8]
