By Nidz Godino
“When I met him, he was humble and kind, and you feel like you’re blessed by God,” First Lady Liza Marcos was teary eyed when she reminisced about the kindness of the late Pope Francis. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. joined around 170 world leaders and 250,000 mourners at funeral of Pope Francis in Vatican City.
Marcos, accompanied by the First Lady arrived in Rome Friday morning (Vatican time).
Photos released by the Presidential Communications Office showed the President in dark gray suit and the First Lady in black dress arriving at St. Peter’s Square for the late pontiff’s funeral. They were both wearing pin of Philippine flag on their left chest.
PCO and Philippine Ambassador to Italy Neal Imperial shared photos of Marcos’ separate interactions with US President Donald Trump and former US president Joe Biden at St. Peter’s Square. Video posted on social media showed Marcoses conversing with Biden and wife Jill before funeral mass started at 4 in the afternoon. (Philippine time).
The President’s trip to Vatican is until April 28 based on Special Order 424 he issued on Thursday.
Marcos earlier declared period of national mourning over passing of Francis, he said “holds special place in the hearts of Filipino people.”
Francis visited Philippines in January 2015, during which he offered comfort and solidarity to victims of Super Typhoon Yolanda.
According to Marcos’ Proclamation 871, Filipino people recognize late pope “as global leader of compassion and tireless advocate of peace, justice and human dignity.”
Philippines is predominantly Roman Catholic.
On Friday, the First Couple were spotted at Piazza Navona, where they were having coffee and appeared to be reminiscing the time they were dating there,. The First Couple tied knot at San Francesco Convent in Fiesole, Italy on April 17, 1993.
In Tacloban City, more than 6,000 fanatics including Speaker Martin Romualdez – attended mass at the new Daniel Z. Romualdez (DZR) airport’s tarmac in honor of the late pope and to mark 10th anniversary of his visit to Tacloban City after devastation of Super Typhoon Yolanda.
DZR airport tarmac was the exact location of the mass Francis himself officiated on Jan. 17, 2015, more than a year after Yolanda ravaged Tacloban in November 2013. Msgr. Ramon Stephen Aguilos was the main celebrant at yesterday’s mass.
“Pope Francis gave us more than hope,” Romualdez said after the mass. “He showed world how to lead with compassion…he stood with us not just as pope, but as father to suffering…his presence gave us strength to rise.”
“He gave us courage to begin again…when we felt forgotten, he remembered…when we were broken, he came to bless brokenness…something people never forget,” he said.
Romualdez recalled powerful image of Francis celebrating mass under stormy skies in yellow raincoat.
“That yellow raincoat became our banner of faith…we saw in him not distant leader, but loving father: present, soaked in our sorrow and filled with love, ” Romualdez said.
In Quezon City, Senate Majority Leader Francis Tolentino recalled being given privilege of providing security to the pope, as chairman of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA).
“I had the privilege of escorting him during his visit to Tacloban… I was also one of those who provided his close-in security, in coordination with Presidential Security Group then, ” Tolentino said at press briefing.
The MMDA motorcycle escorts were at the pope’s side throughout his stay in the stormy Tacloban.
“Pope Francis called them in… MMDA motorcycle riders all kneeled before him, and then he approached and blessed them, one by one…it was warm and heart-touching scene,” Tolentino said.
