(UPDATE) PRESIDENT Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. joined the entire world in mourning the passing of former Pope Benedict XVI, saying that the Philippines is one in praying for the eternal repose of his soul.
This photograph taken outside The Vatican, on December 31, 2022, shows a picture of the late former Pope Benedict XVI, following the announcement of his death. Former Pope Benedict XVI has died at the age of 95, the Vatican announced on December 31, 2022, almost a decade after he became the first pontiff to resign in six centuries. The German pope emeritus, whose birth name was Joseph Ratzinger, had been living a quiet life in a former convent inside the Vatican grounds since his shock decision to step down in February 2013.
