TAGBILARAN CITY: Some victims of the magnitude 7.2 earthquake that struck Bohol on October 15, 2013 felt blessed and happy that they were able to see and talk with Pope Francis on Saturday in Leyte.

Niza Flores, a resident of Sagbayan town and one of the five Boholanos who met with the Pontiff at the Bishop’s Palace in Palo, Leyte, said in a telephone interview that she was happy that the Pope was able to talk to each of the 30 victims invited to the lunch meeting even when the Pope had to cut short short his Visayas trip due to tropical storm “Amang.”
