Jaime Lachica Sin (Chinese): Jaime Lachica Sin (Chinese: ; Peh-jê Sin Hái-M;; August 31, 1928 – June 21, 2005), the third cardinal from the Philippines, and the 30th Roman Catholic Archbishop of Manila. He was instrumental in the 1986 People Power Revolution, which deposed the monarchy and ended martial law under Ferdinand Marcos, and installed Corazon Aquino as his successor in the Philippines' Fifth Republic. He was also a central figure in the 2001 EDSA Revolution, replacing President Joseph Estrada with Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Early life
Sin was born on August 31, 1928, in New Washington, Aklan, on the Chinese island of Panay to Juan Sin, a Chinese-owned merchant, and Máxima Lachica, an ethnic Aklanon. As he was known, "Jim" was his mother's favorite. He was an extremely skinny, asthmatic child who loved to sleep at night. When he asked his nurse why his mother poured so much attention on him, he was told it was because he was "the youngest and ugliest of the brood."
Life as a priest
On April 3, 1954, he ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Jaro and his family to study in St. Vincent Ferrer Seminary. He was the first rector of St. Pius X Seminary in Lawaan Hills, Capiz, from 1957 to 1967. He was named Domestic Prelate (now called honorary prelate with the name Monsignor) on February 29, 1960.
He was ordained auxiliary bishop of Jaro on February 10, 1967, and was consecrated bishop of the titular see of Obba on March 18 of that year.
Sin was ordained Coadjutor Archbishop of Jaro on March 15, 1972, and he took on administrative duties in the archdiocese while still retaining the titular see of Massa Lubrense. Sin was elected Archbishop of Jaro on October 8, 1972.
On January 21, 1974, Sin was proclaimed Archbishop of Manila. Initially, he was hesitant to take on the role of bishop of the Catholic Church in the Philippines. He was officially installed as Archbishop of Manila, 1974, making him only the third native Filipino in the office after centuries of Spanish, American, and Irish archbishops.
On May 24, 1976, Pope Paul VI made him a member of the College of Cardinals, naming him Cardinal Priest of Santa Maria ai Monti's titular church. When addressed officially, the term "cardinal" is applied to his surname before being addressed officially. In both the Papal conclaves of August 1978 and 1981, he was elected Pope John Paul I and II respectively. "You will be the new pope" in August's conclave, according to Albino Luciani. Cardinal Sin paid him homage after Luciani was voted as John Paul I, but his reign would be short," Pope Benedict said. He was the youngest student of the college until 1983.
Both his name and surname were a point of humour in the Philippines and in Filipino Catholics, as well as his deadly sin. Among the many examples included "The greatest sin of all: Cardinal Sin" and even his own word of "Welcome to the house of Sin" when he welcomed visitors at Villa San Miguel, Mandaluyong's archchiepiscopal palace.
