President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. congratulated Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost on his historic election as Pope Leo XIV, the first pontiff from the United States.
Marcos expressed hope that the new pope would continue bringing the Catholic Church closer to the poor and marginalized.
He also offered prayers for the pope’s strength and wisdom as he leads the Church’s 1.4 billion followers.
Senate President Francis Escudero joined in the celebration, highlighting Pope Leo XIV’s expected role as a source of inspiration amid global challenges.
As the only predominantly Christian nation in Asia, the Philippines remains committed to its faith and looks to the new pontiff for spiritual guidance.
