Rhee Timbang is the current Obispo Máximo or Supreme Bishop of the Philippine Independent Church. He was elevated from Archbishop of Surigao to Obispo Máximo on June 25, 2017 and replaced Ephraim Fajutagana.[1]
In his role as Obispo Máximo, Timbang has been highly critical of Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte's declaration of martial law in Mindanao and has condemned those who would link him and his church with the ongoing Communist insurgency in the Philippines.[2][3]
