From February 26 until March 1, 2016, Fr. Herman Abcede, the Provincial Superior, made his Canonical Visit to the St. Hannibal Formation Center in Punta Princesa, Cebu City. Fr. Alfonso Heredia, the Superior of the Seminary, the Vice Superior, Fr. Nicolas Villora, with Fr. Rogie Quinga, the Prefect of Discipline led the community in welcoming warmly the visitators. Bro.

Mariano Rondael, Jr., the community Treasurer and Fr. Francis Paul Escaño, the Dean of the Seminary College, with Fr. Tommy Latina, the Assistant Prefect of Studies. During the fraternal visit, which was highlighted by Fr.

Nilo also had the opportunity to meet with the seminarians, the members of the UPV, with the Avignone Clinic volunteers and with the Seminary personnel, all of which were documented by the Provincial Secretary, Bro. Christian Allan De Sagun. Thanks to the Religious in Practical Training - Bro. Andru Iroy, Bro.Reggie Akiatan, Bro. Yoseph Emanuel Rua and Bro.
