Alberto Uy

Ministry Priesthood Uy was ordained a priest on April 14, 1993, for the Diocese of Talibon.

Episcopate Bishop of Tagbilaran Pope Francis appointed Uy as the seventh Bishop of Tagbilaran on October 13, 2016, succeeding Leonardo Y. Medroso. Uy was consecrated bishop at the Blessed Trinity Cathedral in Talibon, Bohol, seat of the Diocese of Talibon. The next day, he was installed at Cathedral of St. Joseph the Worker in Tagbilaran City. He succeeded retired bishop Leonardo Y. Medroso.

In May 2024, Uy, in an open letter, praised Bohol Representatives Edgar Chatto, Ma. Vanessa C. Aumentado and Alexie Tutor for their “courageous stance” in voting negative versus the divorce bill. In December, Uy exhorted his parishioners regarding the current state of infrastructure corruption. He voiced his strong opposition to the planned construction of the Cebu–Bohol Bridge based on environmental protection concerns and possible damage to the Danajon Bank.

Archbishop of Cebu On July 16, 2025, Pope Leo XIV appointed him Metropolitan Archbishop of Cebu, succeeding José S. Palma. He was installed on September 30 by Archbishop Charles John Brown, apostolic nuncio to the Philippines, at the Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral. Uy's installation Mass was also concelebrated by Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, his principal consecrator during his episcopal ordination, together with two other Filipino Cardinals, Jose Advincula of the Archdiocese of Manila, and Pablo Virgilio David of the Diocese of Kalookan.

On October 1, 2025, a day after his installation, he immediately visited the churches and parishes including the Daanbantayan Church in northern Cebu which were severely affected by the earthquake, which happened just a few hours after his installation Mass. He appealed for aid for the people in quake-stricken areas, and also ordered the parishes there to refrain from using the churches for masses, amid safety concerns.

Uy and fellow Filipino metropolitan archbishops David William Antonio of Nueva Segovia and Charlie Inzon of Cotabato received the pallium from Pope Leo at St. Peter's Basilica on June 29, 2026, the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.
