Pope makes final motorcade stop, blessing before entering Villamor

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.
