Thousands cheer as Pope arrives in Palo
The Pope's next agenda: Meeting with survivors of Super Typhoon Yolanda in Palo, Leyte
LEYTE, Philippines – Pope Francis began his motorcade to Palo, Leyte, at 10:55 am Saturday, January 17, as thousands of Super Typhoon Yolanda survivors lined up to give him a warm welcome. 
He arrived at 11:29 am in Palo.
Residents of Leyte were out on the streets with their raincoats and umbrellas.

The Pope will be meeting with typhoon survivors at the archbishop’s residence in Palo. Based on his original schedule, he will attend the blessing of the Pope Francis Center for the Poor in Palo and then hold a meeting with priests, consecrated persons, seminarians, and families of Yolanda survivors at the Palo Cathedral.

But organizers said they expect the Pope to leave Leyte earlier than scheduled due to Tropical Storm Amang. He was originally scheduled to leave Tacloban at 5 pm yet, but all his events have been moved earlier, starting with his arrival at the Daniel Romualdez airport in Tacloban. – Rappler.com
