Day 5: Final blessing for Filipinos as Pope flies back to Rome
The well-loved pontiff flies back to Rome 10 AM Monday, leaving behind millions of emotionally high and faithfully recharged Filipinos.
Before boarding the plane, Pope Francis gave the crowd at Villamor Air base a final blessing.
Pope Francis touched millions of lives with his simple wave, contagious smile, and heartwarming messages of love and hope. He discussed issues on corruption, sanctity of family, caring for the poor and the children, respecting women, among others.
