No favoritism in picking Pope Francis ‘lunch mates’

Just several weeks before Pope Francis sets foot on Philippine soil, the Archdiocese of Palo said it is now in the process of selecting the lucky 30 would-be “papal lunch mates” who will dine with the pontiff on his visit to Tacloban City, Leyte, on January 17, 2015.

Fr. Cris Militante, media coordinator of the archdiocese for the papal visit, on Wednesday said they will ensure that choosing the lunch mates will be exercised with due fairness for a well-represented guest list.
