PNoy joins millions in Pope Francis’ Quirino Grandstand mass

President Benigno Aquino III on Sunday joined millions of Filipinos at the Quirino Grandstand to hear the Holy Mass to be officiated by Pope Francis.

 

A GMA News live video showed a heavily escorted Aquino, who was wearing a black jacket, walking towards the designated area for officials.

 

The concluding Mass is the third event in Pope Francis Philippine visit participated by Aquino. The President welcomed the Roman Catholic leader at the Villamor Airbase last Thursday.

 

The Pope, meanwhile, met Aquino at the Malacanang Palace on Saturday.
