Today Pope Francis is expected to go to Leyte to meet the Yolanda survivors which is the main purpose or the core of his visit here in the Philippines. Pope Francis is awaited by 150,000 thousand people in Leyte waiting for his mass, they have been waiting the night before the Pope’s arrival, they were all soaking wet because of the storm “Amang” which landed Leyte in storm signal no.2. Pope Francis arrived in Leyte and saw the people who were waiting for him eventhough it was raining heavily and they were all wet, but they were given yellow raincoats to protect them from the bad weather. Pope Francis led the mass despite the heavy rain and raging winds but the crowd stayed with him through the mass, and due to the heavy rain also Pope Francis was also given a yellow raincoat to protect him from the rain. After the mass Pope Francis went directly to the motorcade from Tacloban City to the town of Palo where he did that thing that the crowd loves the most he smiles at them and waves his hand and he stayed with the crowd eventhough it was raining heavily like God was giving Pope Francis a glimpse of what happened and what had the people experienced in the aftermath of Yolanda.

The Pope reaches the town of Palo and quickly blesses the Pope Francis Center for the Poor, then he passes the Palo Cathedral. He says to the crowd that it is the birthday of his number two which is Cardinal Pietro Parolin and then the crowd broke out a song of Happy Birthday for the Cardinal but the happy mood was later changed. Pope Francis was displeased when he was informed that he had to return four hours ahead of schedule due to the very bad weather or that their plane might not take off but the Pope apologized and led a prayer before zipping off to Manila. While the event was happening a 27 year-old female volunteer died because he got hit by a scaffolding but they she was only a child and a jet skids over the runway which holds the Cabinet members luckily they were all safe. This is what the Pope did today but sadly his trip was shortened by the storm. (HOT @ THE PHILIPPINES).
