Pope Francis named Father Pedro Baquero, a Filipino Salesian priest, as the new bishop of Kerema in Papua New Guinea.
Father Baquero's appointment came nearly two weeks after the pontiff named another Filipino, Bishop Oscar Azarcon Solis, prelate of Salt Lake City in the United States.
The 46-year-old Baquero, who was born in Manila in 1970, will replace Bishop Patrick Taval who died in 2013.
The Filipino priest was ordained in 1999 after completing his philosophy and theology studies in Manila.
He later became missionary in Papua New Guinea and served in various capacities.
