HISTORY

The Trust Department of the Arzobispado de Manila has been in existence since the institution of the Office of the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila. Incorporated with the Treasury Department, it was manned by 3 personnel.

In 1996, the Curia realized that there are complex services demanded in the stewardship of the Church’s temporalities. The demand to professionalize the office was addressed to on July 1, 1996. The Moderator Curiae with the concurrence of the members of the Executive Committee separated the Trust Department from the Treasury Department and renamed it as Properties Administration Department (PAD).

The first head of PAD was Rev. Fr. Cesar V. Buhat who was then the Assistant Treasurer of the Archdiocese since 1990. He was assisted by Mr. Antonio B. Ramirez and five lay staff. On September 1, 2002, Rev Fr. Domingo Asuncion was appointed to succeed Fr. Cesar Buhat.

On October 1, 2002, the “Administrative” section of the Administrative and Personnel Department, together with its 2 personnel, was transferred to PAD. To date, PAD has 2 sections: the Properties section which deals with the different properties/assets (immovable) of the Archdiocese of Manila; and Administrative section which deals with the needs of the different offices of Arzobispado de Manila. PAD is now staffed with 8 lay personnel.
