Pope Francis Visits Philippines - Day 2

People gathered for a couple of hours in order to see the Pope Francis reaching to the Mall of Asia to preaches about corruption and other inequality in the country, Manila, Philippines, on January 16, 2015. Pope Francis will visit venues across Leyte and Manila during his visit to the Philippines from January 15 - 19. The visit is expected to attract crowds in the millions as Filipino Catholics flock to catch a glimpse of the leader of the Catholic Church in the Philippines for the first time since 1995. The Pope will begin the tour in Manila, then travelling to Tacloban to visit areas devastated by Typhoon Haiyan before returning to Manila to hold a mass at Rizal Park. The Philippines is the only Catholic majority nation in Asia with around 90 percent of the population professing the faith. (Photo by Guillaume Payen/NurPhoto)
