With the appointment of Fr. Simon Mani, MSC, as the Bishop-elect of Tarawa and Nauru, his term as Rector of PRS ends. Through the recommendation of the Permanent Council of CEPAC members and the bishop-members of the PRS Senate, the current Vice-Rector assumes the role of Interim Rector of PRS.

Fr. Tino obtained a Licentiate in Sacred Theology on Missiology at the Santo Tomas University in the Philippines.
