As of 8 a.m. Friday, people from as far south as Surigao City and Surigao del Norte in Mindanao had brought food and belongings to the airport, radio dzBB's Carlo Mateo reported from Tacloban City.
Several of them also posed for souvenir shots of what they consider a once-in-a-lifetime experience of meeting being in the presence of the Pope, the report said.
