Philippines Mourns the Passing of Pope Francis: A Nation in Reflection

The Philippines, a predominantly Catholic nation, has entered a period of national mourning following the passing of Pope Francis. President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered flags on all state buildings to be flown at half-mast until the Pope's funeral at the Vatican on Saturday. 

Pope Francis, who passed away at the age of 88, was deeply cherished by the Filipino people. His visit to the Philippines in 2015 drew a historic crowd of up to seven million attendees for a Mass in Manila, reflecting his profound connection with the nation. 

Masses are being held across the country to honor the Pope's legacy as a global advocate for peace, justice, and compassion. Many Filipinos remember him fondly for his humility and dedication to the marginalized, values that resonated deeply with the nation's Catholic majority.

This period of mourning is not only a time of sorrow but also a moment for reflection on the Pope's enduring impact on the Catholic Church and the world.
