He graduated from the Pontifical and Royal University of Sto Tomas in 1953. He received his Diploma in French Language and Civilization at the Institute Catholique in 1960. He then studied at the Pontifical University of Salamanca until 1961. He received his Doctor of Philosophy at the Universidad Central de Madrid in 1962.

Archbishop Talamayan founded the order of Eucharistic Healers of Mary whose charism was to take care of sick and elderly priests. Fr. Lorenzo Marzo is the first ordained priest. Now it has one deacon, five theology students, two philosophy students and one studying to be a brother.

Carillon Bells

During his 75th birthday on October 19, President Gloria Arroyo inaugurated the carillon, now an added attraction in the region being the first and only bell system in Cagayan Valley. The birthday celebration also marked the end of the Archbishops tenure as pastor of the entire archdiocese, with the dioceses of Ilagan and Bayombong covering the provinces of Isabela, and Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino, respectively. The archbishop is known as one of the closest ally in the CBCP.
