Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez writes down his message of condolence for Pope Francis at the Embassy of the Holy See along Taft Avenue in Manila Monday, April 28, 2025. “We honor not only the man who came to comfort us, but the spirit he awakened in us: a spirit of unity, of resilience, and of boundless hope,” Speaker Romualdez said during a memorial mass for the Holy Father held in Tacloban City over the weekend.
