Early life and education Broderick Soncuaco Pabillo was born in Victorias, Negros Occidental, on March 11, 1955, to Conrado Cordova Pabillo and Gloria Acuña Suncuaco. He finished his primary school at St. Joseph School in Naga, Camarines Sur in 1968 and secondary school at Don Bosco Juniorate in San Fernando, Pampanga in 1972.

In 1974, he entered the novitiate of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Canlubang, Calamba, Laguna. He continued his studies with the Salesians, and received his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education at Don Bosco College, Canlubang in 1977. He taught at Don Bosco Makati from 1977 to 1978, and at Don Bosco Canlubang from 1978 to 1979. Until his appointment to the episcopate, he served as the parish priest of St. Ezekiel Moreno Parish Church in Puerto Princesa from 1999 to 2006. He was consecrated bishop on August 19, 2006, by Manila archbishop Cardinal Gaudencio B. Rosales. The co-consecrators were Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines Archbishop Fernando Filoni and Pedro D. Arigo, Vicar Apostolic of Palawan.

As auxiliary bishop, he served as vicar general of the Archdiocese of Manila (2006-2021), bishop-in-charge of its Council on Pastoral Affairs (2008-2021), episcopal vicar for Manila Guest Priests (2012-2021), and member of its Board of Consultors (2006-2021), Presbyteral Council (2006-2021), and Archdiocesan Pastoral Council (2011-2021). He also served as chair of the Board of Trustees of the Asian Social Institute (2007-2008, 2011-2013), and trustee of the Pondo ng Pinoy Community Foundation and of the Philippine Bible Society. He held that until June 24, 2021, when Cardinal Jose Advincula was installed as Tagle's successor.

On July 23, 2020, Pabillo disclosed that he had tested positive for COVID-19, following the release of the result of his RT-PCR test. He was an asymptomatic carrier. He recovered from the disease, as he tested negative in August.

On June 29, 2021, Pope Francis appointed him as Vicar Apostolic of Taytay. He was canonically installed on August 19, 2021, on his 15th episcopal ordination anniversary.

Political views In January 2024, Pabillo rejected the people's initiative for charter change during the Bongbong Marcos administration, saying that it offers money in exchange for their signatures. He added that the initiative is not by the people, but by some politicians.

Following the arrest of former President Rodrigo Duterte in March 2025, Pabillo said that Duterte's subsequent trial in the International Criminal Court (ICC) is an opportunity for him to determine his accountability for the abuses during his presidency.
