Thousands brave rain, wind to attend airport Mass presided by Pope Francis
Tropical storm Amang failed to dampen the fevered excitement of Palo residents who positioned themselves and spent the night before along the motorcade route of Pope Francis.
As early as 2 a.m, winds and rain were experienced by the Catholic faithful as raincoat wearing police and military personnel were deployed to keep the peace.
At 5 a.m, heavy rains didn’t deter the children and the elderly from positioning themselves at the motorcade route.
Pope Francis arrived at past 8 a.m. and presided over the Mass at the Tacloban City airport at 9 a.m. with survivors of supertyphoon Yolanda.
