He worked for the Metropolitan Matrimonial Tribunal of Manila from 1964 to 1983. From 1977 to 1979, he was vicar forane of the Our Lady of Guadalupe Vicariate.

He spent some years teaching at San Carlos Seminary in Makati and Our Lady of the Angels Seminary in Novaliches, Quezon City, and was appointed Episcopal Vicar of the Ecclesiastical District of Makati. San Diego was named parish priest of San Felipe Neri Parish in Mandaluyong in 1981. That same year, he was named Monsignor with the dignity of Honorary Prelate by the late Pope John Paul II.

The late Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines, Archbishop Bruno Torpigliani consecrated him as bishop August 10, 1983. He served as Coadjutor Apostolic Vicar of Palawan from 1983 to 1987, and apostolic vicar from 1987 to 1995. From 1983 to 1985, he served as pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Narra, Palawan.
