An Apostolic Nuncio, or Papal Nuncio, is the head of an Apostolic Nunciature. An Apostolic Nunciature is a diplomatic mission of the Holy See. It is like an embassy except that its purpose is missionary, aside from diplomatic relations.

The Holy See, or the See of Rome, is a sovereign entity headed by the Pope. It governs all the Catholic Churches in the world. The Holy See is not a physical place but like any form of government, it has to have leaders and offices. Officially, its main, top or central office is located in the Vatican City State, which is enclave in Rome.

The Apostolic Nunciature to the Philippines was established in 1951. It is located at 2140 Taft Avenue, Malate, Manila.
