is possible. Let's pray these TWO are glorified swiftly, but not Brother Jose Munoz-Cortez.
Rather than he, Bishop Constantine [Essensky] would be a great choice for a 3rd Rocor figure to be canonized. As we all know, he served as Bishop of Richmond and Great Britain between 1981-1986 and reposed in 1996.
Both the hierarchs mentioned in the subject line were found to be incorrupt; for sure Met Philaret was and it was widely said that Archbishop Tikhon, disciple of Elder Gabriel of Kazan and Pskov, who in turn had been under Elders Ambrose and Hilarion of Optina, also was.
For certain, Bishop Constantine was found to be incorrupt at Jordanville.
Note that NFTU's Icon of Met St Philaret was the one chosen to illustrate the MP OrthoChristian article ! A good choice

At its recent session in Munich, the Council of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia decided to proceed with the initial steps towards the possible canonization of several saintly figures from the Church Abroad, including His Eminence Metropolitan Philaret (Voznesensky).
During the same session, the hierarchs considered materials previously prepared on the life and legacy of Hieromonk Seraphim (Rose) and resolved to canonize him and begin preparations for his liturgical glorification.
And according to the communique summarizing the Council’s work, on Monday, May 4, the hierarchs heard a report from His Eminence Metropolitan Mark of Berlin, entitled, “On Certain Saints Encountered in the Course of My Life: Towards the Opening of a Conciliar Discussion on the Glorification of the Pious Strugglers (Podvizhniki) of the Russian Church Abroad, Who Embody Her Spirit and Heritage.”
A discussion on various figures ensued, after which the hierarchs decided to entrust “the task of preparing materials on Metropolitan Philaret (Voznesensky), Archbishop Tikhon (Troitsky), and a number of other pious individuals venerated in the Diaspora,” to His Eminence Archbishop Kyrill of San Francisco and His Grace Bishop Luke of Syracuse.
The materials are to be presented for consideration by the ROCOR Synod by the end of the year.
Met. Philaret (Voznesensky) served as First Hierarch of ROCOR from 1964 to 1985. His incorrupt relics lie in a vault under Holy Trinity Cathedral at Holy Trinity Monastery in Jordanville, New York.
Abp. Tikhon (Troitsky) was the immediate predecessor to St. John (Maximovitch) in the Diocese of San Francisco."
