Amongst the sea of yellow raincoats lined up under the chilly storm in Tacloban, energetic voices from small children chant what they hope would capture the attention of Pope Francis. “Papa amigo! Tacloban ‘ta contigo!” (Pope our friend. Tacloban is with you.) The children were also wearing the colours of the Pope’s favourite Argentinian soccer team - another feat that they hope the Pontif would notice breaking the monotony of yellow in the crowd of people. “Sana makita kami ni Santo Papa maglaro kasi malaking blessing yun para sa amin at para sa Tacloban,” said Jared Troy Reyes, a 12-year old boy who joined the Santo Papa Futbol Cup.
