Church distributes 78,000 ‘tickets’ to Pope’s mass in Tacloban

They’re not for sale. They’re just for some measure of crowd control.

“The Archdiocese of Palo has distributed over 78,000 tickets to parishioners who will attend the Holy Mass that will be celebrated by Pope Francis at the Tacloban airport January next year,” reports Dennis Carcamo on Philstar.com.

The report noted: “Reverend Father Cris Militante, media coordinator for the Papal visit of the Archdiocese of Palo, said in an interview with Church-run Radyo Veritas that they are expecting around 1,000 representatives from the different parishes in Leyte to attend the event.”

Militante explained: “Yung ticket po mamimigay po kami ng ticket as sort of identification just to control, just for the purpose of crowd control dun po sa apron pero hindi yun for sale, hindi yun for VIPs but just to control yung mga tao na papasok sa quadrants na ipo-provide natin sa loob ng apron area.”
