Filipinos love Pope John XXIII as they do John Paul II – bishop

Pope John XXIII may not have visited the Philippines but he is still remembered and loved by Filipinos just like Pope John Paul II, an official of the Catholic Church said on Friday.

Antipolo Bishop Gabriel Reyes, contradicting claims that Pope John Paul II was the most loved Pope of the Filipinos, recounted meeting Pope John XXIII when he studied in Rome.
