Before entering the military airbase where he would take his flight home Monday, Pope Francis' motorcade made a final stop so he could bless Filipinos lining the route.

 

The white Isuzu pickup-based Popemobile stopped just outside Villamor Air Base, allowing him to bless and kiss children in the crowd one last time.

People in the crowd shouted their last goodbyes to the Pope, while others quickly snapped photos and took videos using mobile phones and tablets.
