Dennis Cabanada Villarojo (born April 18, 1967 in Cebu City) is a bishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cebu and currently serves as an auxiliary to Archbishop José S. Palma . He completed his high school formation at the Colegio de San Jose- Recoletos in the same city. He entered San Carlos Seminary College of the Archdiocese of Cebu where he finished his philosophical studies. Later, he continued his priestly training at the Pontifical and Royal University of Santo Tomas in Manila, where he took his theological studies, and obtained his licentiate degree in Ecclesiastical Philosophy.
He was ordained deacon by Jaime Cardinal Sin in Manila on 1993. A year later on June 10, 1994, he was ordained priest for the Archdiocese of Cebu. For four years, from 1994 to 1998, he was personal secretary of Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, the Ordinary of the Archdiocese at that time.
From 1998 to 2001, Monsignor Villarojo continued his post-graduate studies in Philosophy, in Rome, at the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross, where he earned his doctorate in this discipline.
After studying in Rome, he returned to his country and continued, until 2010, to take the task as secretary of Cardinal Vidal and at the same time as coordinator of the pastoral planning board of the archdiocese.
Since 2010, Monsignor Villarojo has been the chairman of the pastoral team at the parish of the Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Barangay Capitol Site, Cebu City. In 2012, he was also appointed secretary-general of the 51st International Eucharistic Congress, which will be held in Cebu, in January 2016.
On 3 July 2015, Pope Francis designated Monsignor Villarojo as one of the auxiliary bishops of Cebu. He was consecrated bishop on 10 August 2015 at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Archdiocese of Cebu, by Archbishop Jose Palma, the current Ordinary of the Archdiocese. Ricardo Cardinal Vidal (Cardinal Archbishop Emeritus of Cebu), and Archbishop Giuseppe Pinto (Papal Nuncio to the Philippines) were the co-consecrators.
