Miguel García Serrano, O.S.A. (1569 – June 14, 1629) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as the Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila (1618–1629) and the Bishop of the Diocese of Nueva Segovia (1616–1618).[1][2]
Miguel García Serrano was born in Chinchón, Spain and ordained a priest of the Order of Saint Augustine in 1592.[2] On August 3, 1616, Pope Paul V appointed him Bishop of Nueva Segovia.[1][2] In 1617, he was consecrated bishop by Juan Pérez de la Serna, Archbishop of México.[1][2] On February 12, 1618, Pope Paul V appointed him Archbishop of Manila. During his episcopacy, Serrano ordained Augustin Tabuyo to the priesthood on December 18, 1621, likely making Tabuyo the first Filipino to become a priest on record.[3] Serrano served as archbishop until his death on June 14, 1629.[1][2]
