His Holiness Pope Francis visited the Philippines on January 15-19, 2015 bringing with him the message of “Mercy and Compassion”. He was warmly welcomed by the Filipinos everywhere he went, rain or shine. He is a true inspiration to many, regardless of religion because of his humility and sincerity, humor, wit, and most especially how he leads his flock by example. Just want to share some of the images I have captured during his visit in Manila.

PAPA FRANCESCO
Pope Francis never gets tired of waving and smiling to the crowd no matter how tired he is. He gets re-energized when he sees the mammoth crowd just longing to see him. He is able to touch the hearts of many simply by his presence. Certainly he is one of a kind.
