TACLOBAN, Jan. 17 (PIA)–Gipalig-on ni Pope Francis ang pagtuo sa mga bitima sa bagyong Yolanda sa Santos nga Misa nga iyang gipangunahan sa Tacloban Airport.
Sa iyang wali, miingon ang Santo Papa nga mibisita siya sa Tacloban aron ipasalig nga wala nagpasagad ang Diyos.
Giingong gi-respeto niya ang sentimyento sa mga biktima kun nawad-an kini og pagsalig, panginabuhian ug mahal sa kinabuhi.
Matud pa nga ang tanang kalisud nga naagian sa tawo matag adunay kalamidad, naagian usab sa Diyos sa dihang gilansang kini sa krus.
Matud pa sa Santo Papa, nasabtan ug nadungog sa Diyos ang gi-agian sa tanan.
“I come to tell you that Jesus is Lord and he never lets us down. He was consecrated as Lord on that throne and there he experienced all calamities that we experienced. Jesus is Lord, and the Lord from the cross, is there for you. Therefore, he is capable of understanding us as we heard in the first reading,” matud pa ni Pope Francis.
Dugang pa sa Santo Papa, may Ginoo kita nga may katakos nga moduyog sa atong paghilak ug mahimong makauban sa panahon sa kalisod.
“So many of you have lost everything. I don’t know what to say to you, but the Lord does know what to say to you. Some of you lost part of your families, all I can do is keep silence, and I walk with you all with my silent heart,” dugang pa sa Santo Papa.
Gitumbok usab sa Santo Papa ang pagtuo sa Birheng Maria.
Giingong kun grabe ang gi-agiang kalisod ug dili na masabtan ang mga panghitabo, moduol lamang sa Birheng Maria.
Nigahin og ‘moment of silence’ ang Santo Papa alang sa mga biktima sa bagyo ug gi-aghat ang mga nitambong sa misa nga ipagawas kun unsa ang naa sa ilang kasingkasing.
Libuan ang nitambong sa misa sa Santo Papa diin nahimong emosyunal ang ubang survivors sa bagyong Yolanda nga nakahilak sa mga pulong sa Santo Papa bisan sa kusog nga hangin ug ulan tungod sa bagyong nasinati na usab karon sa Eastern Visayas. (ecb/PIA7-Bohol)

The year started with a “bang” for me at the office. Right on the first working day, the to-do list was already long and getting longer every day. I zip through the whole world via VPN and other means of remote access to accomplish many tasks of an IT practitioner.
When Pope Francis arrived, I only got to see his homilies and speeches online but not during the live broadcast.
It was quite obvious to me that “Lolo Kiko”, as the Pope was nicknamed by many Filipinos, is a very charismatic leader. It was also quite easy to see his sincerity to be with the poor, the unfortunate and the traumatized. The theme of his trip was “Mercy and Compassion” and what a fitting theme it is.
The arrival of tropical storm “Amang” coincided with the scheduled activities at Tacloban City in Leyte on January 17 and thus the Pope and the faithful had to deal with the heavy rain and strong winds. What coincidence, or perhaps God really timed the events, such that Pope Francis would experience a storm along with the victims of Typhoon Yolanda. It is perhaps the best way for the him to be with us, and to experience what many of us suffered on November 8, 2013.
When the Pope Francis said that he “decided to come here” after watching the aftermath of the catastrophe of Typhoon Yolanda, I was touched by his words. I may be miles away from him, but through technology, he seemed to have reached out to me, and somehow tell me that everything will be okay.
Thank you, Pope Francis! We will brave all storms, from weather to relationships to life itself, knowing that, as you have said, Jesus will not let us down.

Pope Francis is scheduled to arrive in Tacloban City, Leyte, on January 17 while Tropical Storm “Amang” is approaching Leyte and may make landfall on the same date. “Amang” will make the Pope’s visit to Tacloban really symbolic.
There are yet no cancellations nor changes related to the Tacloban City activities for the Pope’s visit.
Tropical storm “Amang” winds are measured at 75kph with gustiness up to 90kph. It will bring heavy rainfall so flooding and flash floods should be expected in susceptible areas.
Amang is forecast to head northwards after it comes near the eastern seacoast of the Philippines and will traverse the eastern provinces of the country.
