*Motorcades in between travel


Pope Francis had a very hectic schedule during his 5-day stay in the country. for a 78-year old, he must've been really tired with all the travels, greetings & meetings. but you cannot see it in him at all. he's like a teenager full of energy to burn. for every crowd that awaits him, he equates it with a big smile & untiring waves of blessings. Filipinos crowd all the streets where he passed by. i think nobody leaves their spot since Day 1. or if they did, it's just to take a bath, nap a little and get some nourishment, which they do in an hour or two.
the Pope leaves tomorrow, leaving all the good words he shared to the millions of Filipinos who attended/watched his activities. i just hope and pray that my fellowmen will really show in their way of life all of the teachings and reminders that Pope Francis imparted. being a Roman Catholic really isn't just by words or whenever the Pope is in the country. being a Roman Catholic is by thinking, feeling & doing something not only for the benefit of ourselves but for others, above-all.



not taken by me. taken when he was in Tacloban. Pope Francis was wearing a raincoat due to signal no.2 storm brought about by Typhoon Amang.

salamat Santo Papa sa iyong pagpunta at pagbahagi ng mabuting salita ng Diyos. ang iyong walang humpay na pagdarasal para sa aming mga Pilipino ay susuklian din namin ng walang humpay na pagdarasal para sa iyong mabuting kapakanan at kalusugan upang patuloy mong maipalaganap ang mabuting salita ng Diyos.

thank you, Pope Francisco. gracias, Papa Francisco. grazie, Papa Francesco. hanggang sa muli nating pagkikita.
