The visit of pope Francis to the Philippines has been welcomed with a great popular enthusiasm by the whole people, as we all saw from the media: a large Christian crowd has surrounded him with love.

Also the youth of the Community of Sant'Egidio of the Philippines took part with great enthusiasm to the appointments with the pope: in Tacloban - the area affected by the supertyphoon one year ago - and in Manila, in Universitas Santo Tomas, and in Quirino at the largest mass ever celebrated, with about 6 million people.
