BALANGA CITY– Bishop Ruperto C. Santos of the Diocese of Balanga on Thursday said that the vehicle that Pope Francis will use while in the Philippines is an open one.
“Sa kagustuhan ng Santo Papa na maraming makadaupang-palad na mga tao, hindi sarado ang sasakyang gagamitin niya pero sa pakikipagtulungan ng Presidential Security Group, okay naman ang security niya,” he said.
Santos is chairman of the Committee on Transportation on the Papal visit. Pope Francis will be in the Philippines from January 15 – 19, 2015. The Bataan prelate said the Popemobile will not be brought and used.
“Handa na at naka-secured ang open vehicle na gagamitin ng mahal na Papa.” His committee in coordination with government takes charge of the transportation requirements of the Holy Father and other church dignitaries once they land at the airport.
