In honor of Pope Francis, the first Latin American pontiff known for his compassion and humility, we remember his memorable words that left a profound impact globally. In his 12 years of service as the head of the Catholic church, Pope Francis advocated for the rights of immigrants, refugees, and women. He also adopted a more inclusive approach toward the LGBTQ+ community. Even in his brief Easter appearance on April 20, 2025, Pope Francis called for a ceasefire in Gaza. On Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, Pope Francis died at the age of 88. #newsph #SocialNewsPH #popefrancis #lolokiko #pope #philippinestar
