Tacloban City, Leyte — More than a week before the scheduled visit of Pope Francis to Tacloban City, about 60% of the parishes in Region 8 have submitted their list of official delegates who will attend the papal mass on January 17 at Tacloban airport.
PALO, Leyte – The Archdiocese of Palo will serve lechon (roasted pig) and pork adobo, malunggay (moringa), and a dessert of local tropical fruits during the lunch of Pope Francis with 30 survivors of recent natural calamities that struck central Philippines.
POPE FRANCIS will be given twice the number of the Philippine President’s close-in security aides and will also be covered by Filipino soldiers who escaped a seven-hour siege in Golan Heights in August, a Palace official said yesterday.
