GLORY TO GOD ! WE HAVE A NEW POPE!π«Άπ❤️
ReplyDeleteFilipinos didn’t know he came to the Philippines in 2004 and celebrated mass in Cebu. He was in the Philippines for missionary work. People around him that time can feel he is a good person.
Deletetulad ng kinomment ko yung me simbolo ng tupa ang mapipili
DeleteAmen π
Delete12:08, eh siempre hindi naman lahat ng Filipino nakakatanggap ng listahan ng lahat ng nabisita sa Pilipinas. Ano ba ang point ng comment mo? Pwede naman hindi na ilagay ang "Filipinos didn't know".
Delete4:39 Filipinos didn’t know. Filipinos didn’t know. Filipinos didn’t know. Filipinos didnt know. Filipinos didn’t know.πππ
DeleteBakit taga US ang pinili? Deserve ni Cardinal Tagle ang maging Pope. Cooking show yata ang pagpili
ReplyDeleteCooking show? Ano to Ms U?
DeleteHoy ugaling Pinoy na nakakahiya
DeleteFyi, sila mismo mga cardinals bomoto wag mong gayahin sa Politics sa pinas yan
DeleteGanito comment ng mga ignorante, Akala na ang pagpili sa Santo Papa eh parang sa mga beauty pageant or election sa Pilipinas.
Delete8:32 you don't believe the Holy Spirit has a hand in the outcome? cooking show pa rin hangga Vatican? hindi ito Miss Grand o Miss Universe
DeleteJusko ka 8:32 nakakahiya ang ganyang asal mo! 'wag mo itulad sa beauty pageant o pag boto ng politiko o iba pa mang contest, may cooking show ka pang nalalaman. Ang toxic ng ugali mo.
DeleteI want to think that their votes were guided by the Holy Spirit. Pinoy man, puti, itim, latino ang maging Santo Papa ibigay natin ang ating respeto at pagsuporta. Hindi madali ang tungkulin ng isang Santo Papa. Kailangan nito ang ating pagdadasal at suporta upang magampanan nya ito ng maayos at buong husay. Kahit sino pa ang maging Santo Papa manatili sana tayong buo sa pananampalataya sa Panginoon.
Deletehahah this is exactly why hindi pinoy napili. also imagine the entitlement of the pinoys kung si tagle napili? i can imagine mga politico having access to him sa vatican.
DeleteSIYA TALAGA ANG NAPILI. Nakita nyo yong dove ba yon sa chimney bago lumabas yong usok na white?.. Parang naging sign sya na nakapili na.
DeleteLuh. Ginawang MU π€£ ang funny mo naman.
DeleteAno yan Miss U? Kalerks! Nakakahiya ang ganitong attitude.
DeleteMamser anong cooking show? Conclave is very spiritual gathering among the Cardinals. Wag niyo po sana ipoliticised. The will of God is beyond human's understanding. Research niyo rin po background ni Pope Leo XIV. He is very competent to lead the flock.
DeleteBakit di maging masaya muna kesa magquestion?
DeleteEspiritu Santo ka ba para mamili? Kaloka ka.
DeleteNaniniwala pa kasi kayong pipili ng taga labas e mga italiano karaniwan nilulok jan dahil Rome throne yan
DeleteWe all love Cardinal Tagle. We love you Cardinal Tagle. We are so so proud of you. I pray that the good Lord guides him with his every day life in Vatican. I also pray for our new Pope that the Lord gives him strength, courage, and wisdom.
Delete832 hanggang sa pagpili ng Pope may ganyang mindset pa din?
DeleteManalig paminsan minsan, bawasan ang negativity.
8:32 sobrang nakakahiya ka at ibang pinoy na kagaya mo! Kadiri kayo!
Delete10:38 truth! ngayon pa ka lang lumalabas ang kagaspangan ng ugali ng ibang pinoy
DeleteAmb*b* kalurkey! Hindi to politics na me campaign period. And if you'll look back at the history, karamihan sa mga nagiging pope is ni hindi lumalabas sa survey. Masyado lang na hype si Cardinal Tagle. If it's not his time then it is not his time.
DeleteNakakahiya ang ganitong ugali ng pinoy. Pagdasal nlng kita.
DeletePinoy mentality ang cooking show, di po yan umuobra outside Pinas lalo na Pope picking na yan
Deletenkkhiya tlga mging pinoy sa gantong ugali
Delete8:33, napaka ignorante ng comment mo.
DeleteIsa ka pa 12;47, hindi lahat ng pope ay italiano. Jusko. Anong nangyayari sa mundo? Bakit ganito na level ng intelligence ng mga tao.
Delete832, pasalamat ka na lang anonymous ka at nakakahiya talaga ang comment mo. Isa ka pa, 1247! Hindi po Italian ang new pope and even Pope Francis. Magsama kayong dalawa ni 832 at mukhang pareho naman takbo ng utak nyo.ππ Kakahiya, kaloka!π€¦♀️π€¦♀️
Delete12:47 Taga labas nga sya bc he’s an American. Wala ng naging Italian Pope when Pope John Paul II ended 400 years of Italian Papacy.
DeleteIt’s God’s will
DeleteAng paniniwala ay Holy Spirit ang gumagabay sa botohan sa pagpili ng Santo Papa.
DeleteKaya kahit yung napili ay controversial, ito ay tinatanggap. Dahil kahit gaano man ka imperfect ang napiling Santo Papa, ito ay akma at may dahilan.
Pope Francis was Italian who grew up in Argentina.
DeleteWe love Tagle but the whites are secretly running the world.
DeleteMostly naman pinipili nila hindi famous. Pope Francis was not famous when they chose him.
DeleteHaaay… di pa rin nag sink in sakin na wala na si Pope Francis
ReplyDeleteMe too, naiyak nga ako at naalala ko sya nung may napili ng new pope
DeleteWhy is he grinning like that? Parang ang creepy
ReplyDeleteHe's smiling anong creepy dyan?
DeleteGanun talaga, as we age we lose lip volume
DeleteAnong creepy pinagsasabi mo 8:45? I can only see someone who’s emotional & overwhelmed with immense joy pero trying to hide it pa rin.
DeleteAng amo nga ng mukha eh.
Deletemga pinoy talaga, palagi may nasasabi
Deletemga anti-catholics na nagpapanggap na katoliko ang gumagawa ng ganyang comments.
DeleteHindi lang siguro talaga maamo ang mukha nya like Pope Benedict na stern looking din. Si Pope Francis and John Paul II, maamo ang mukga lalo na si JP2 na ang bait talaga ng hitsura, mukha palang very holy na ang looks.
DeleteAng serene nga yung face niya. He’s the youngest of three brothers. Sabi nung brother niya sa interview , siya lang di napapalo nung mga bata pa sila dahil mabait at masunurin. Joke pa nga daw nila dahil sa kabaitan eh maging Pope siya! Nagkatotoo nga! One of his priest friends said na he’s inherently kind and very approachable person.
DeleteKonting respeto naman po sa bagong Santo Papa, teary eye nga siya nang lumabas sa balcony ng St Peter Square. Overwhelmed with emotions lang siguro.
DeleteMas creepy ka!
DeleteHe has the gentlest smile just like the previous Pope. May you be enlightened 8:45
DeleteAnother pinoy na mapang mata
Delete1:28 Pope Benedict was stern looking but gentle heart.
DeleteWhen I first saw the video of his proclamation, good vibes lang na feel ko. Mukhang mabait at unassuming.
ReplyDeleteAt the back of my mind the last few days before the conclave, parang hindi talaga mananalo ang Filipino or any of the frontrunners na hina-hype ng media. I had a feeling parang decoy lang ang mga nilalagay na frontrunners to protect the REAL frontrunner kasi grabe yung mga smear campaigns against the Cardinals Tagle and Parolin.
Cardinal David and Cardinal Prevost who is Pope Leo XIV now ay na leaked na darkhorses just 2 days before the start of the conclave.
Agree. Pag matunog name usually hindi magging pope. Ok na din na hindi si Cardinal Tagle. Daming OA and fanatics na ewan.
DeleteHayaan na natin Kung sino man ang napili. Iisa lang naman ang pananampalataya nating mga Kristyano. Maging masaya na lang tayo at sana mangibabaw ang kabutihan sa mundo.
DeleteIt's always like that 9:08, same thing kay Pope Francis and even Pope John Paul II, kumbaga sa Beauty Pageant dark horse lagi ang napipiling susunod na Pope.
DeleteCardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict remains the ONLY frontrunner papabile who actually became Pope.
DeleteUnlike the other papabile, he entered the conclave as a Pope and came out as a Pope.
Pero isipin nyo... Pope Francis was already voted by the Cardinals as second nung nanalo si pope Benedict. Nung nagretire sya at pipili ulit ng bagong Pope, hindi parin sya binabanggit ng media or insiders as one of the papabile despite placing second dun sa huling conclave so tinatago talaga nila ang tunay na malakas ang chance.
11:57 same observation. Tsaka lahat ng naging popes meron talagang Divine Providence.
DeleteSame here naiyak ako and I’m not Catholic.
DeleteI know parang impossible na magkaroon ng Filipino pope but I still had hopes….
ReplyDeleteOkay lang yan. God bless our New Pope. Thank God we have a new pope. I am so thankful!
DeleteCongratulations to the new pope. I hope he will be as good as Pope Francis. Sayang lang di si Cardinal Tagle. But who am I to decide? These cardinals know better.
ReplyDeleteIt's very political isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt's not political. It's spiritual. The Holy Spirit chooses not who the people want, but who the Church needs.
DeletePope Leo XIV kept a low profile at the Vatican despite heading a powerful office. The media did not notice him but he was highly regarded by the people who matter.
I was not surprised. In fact, I was hoping it would be him.
san utak mo
DeleteNo.
DeleteIt is spiritual.
nope. wala nga sa radar ng media itong bagong Santo Papa. Salamat sa Diyos at may bagong Pope ang 1.4 billion Catholics.
DeletePlease look at his credentials and what he has done. Just read his background people.
DeleteHuwag bitter teh!
DeleteI guess you're not Catholic. We always believe in the guidance of the Holy Spirit when it comes to choosing the supreme pontiff.
DeleteKahawig nya si pope John paul
ReplyDeleteIyan din naisip ko.
DeleteSame comment
Delete1028 I noticed that too
DeleteYan din sabi ko habang nagsasalita sya. Pinagmamasdan ko ang mukha nya. Saka emotional sya, mangiyak-ngiyak.
DeleteFirst American pope in the history
ReplyDeleteAmerican pope, yes. But Italian blood din siya. Italian-Spanish descent. It's not a problem. I am a Catholic and I love him and pray for him. Just thinking, God has a special preference for Italians. Haha. Maybe because Italians are solid Catholics.
Delete2.37 Peruvian sya
Delete5:22 He was assigned in Peru for more than10 years and got dual citizenship now, American and Peruvian.
DeleteHindi ko pa din matandaan banit ung face nya parang kilala ko na sya or familiar to think na hindi naman ako katoliko pero parang nanita ko na sya kung saan hindi ko alam. Bast aung face nya napaka bait.
ReplyDeleteKamukha ni Pope John Paul II
DeletePope Paul VI
DeleteViva Il Papa! Pope Leo XIV looks so kind.
ReplyDeleteGod moves in mysterious ways. He annoints the one the world needs. I'm joyful and grateful that that we have a Pope.
ReplyDeleteUSA!!
ReplyDeleteViva Il Papa
ReplyDeleteAlmost all the news says he's american and hardly mentions he also has citizenship in peru. On his first speech at pope he had a special message for peru and none for the americans.
ReplyDeleteIssue ka.
DeleteMaybe because he was born American? Sa Peru siya nakabase so why would he address the US. Wag mo na hanapan ng issue
DeleteAm not even Catholic but if you searched on line and watched the interviews to his family who are all in America you will understand and know the new Pope more. He was born and raised in Chicago and when he became a priest he was assigned to Peru for a long time and he probably developed a deep love to the people there and become dual citizen of America and Peru.
DeleteThe US needs Pope Leo because of dwindling Catholic attendace. The Filipinos are more Catholic than Americans. .
ReplyDeleteAmericans are protestants. Probably because of strong individualistic culture. They resist authority. They want to be able to interpret the bible without Church Authority. That's why they have 40k denominations of Protestant churches.
DeleteThe pope will always be white.
ReplyDeleteI’m glad that Tagle didn’t become a pope kasi
lalong mahihirapan maging reality ang divorce, birth control programs, lgbt civil union dito sa bansa.
Pope Saint Victor I was north African. Wasn't St Peter Syrian?
DeleteAng daming galit na pinoy. Thank god talaga hindi si tagle naging pope or else magrereign supreme ang pinoy hipocrites who praise the god but whose attitudes and behavior are not so godly. Shame.
ReplyDeletemeron siguro pero kaunti lang... wag gumawa ng issue
DeleteKaunti? Dito lang o! Saka issue? Ikaw na ang nagsabi niyan. Hypo spotted 6 23
DeleteI didn't believe Tagle will be chosen or any color pther than someone who is white. It's always the white one. I don't have a problem tho. Just saying.
ReplyDeleteBecause you're white so it's okay?
DeleteThen why convert people of color into catholics if it's only for white people?
Not yet. The world is not ready for that. Same with the US not being ready for a woman president. Everything in due time
DeleteYeah thot so too. Dami ko napanuod he's the closest candidate to be the next Pope. Alam ko lang malabong mapili for this same reason. Nothing againts the new Pope tho.
DeleteYun daw kasi sabi ng holy spirit
DeleteYes,I have the same belief and not just white,but from powerful countries.
DeleteThere may have already been 3 Popes of color that have been chosen in the past. Pope Victor I, from 189-199, Pope Miltiades 311-314, and Pope Gelasius I, who was pope from 492-496. There've been Asian Popes as well who were from Syria. But of course, those where more than 1 and a half Millenia ago, and in modern times we are yet to see a Pope who's ethnic Asian and Black African.
DeleteMabuti na rin at hindi Filipino naging pope kasi baka mapolitika lang sya. Maraming magpapalakas, didikit sa kanya tapos pag hindi mapagbigyan sisiraan ang pope at gagawan ng kwento or scandal.
ReplyDeletei agree
DeletePraise God! Take heart people of color. Pope Leo has mixed heritage that includes Haitian and Louisiana creole roots on his maternal grandparent's side, which is in itself remarkable. God is in control.
ReplyDeleteang funny ng mga commenters dito, feeling ng iban Ms Uni ang selection ng Pope. kaloka. alam na alam mo na they are only Catholics by attending mass but ignorant in how the Holy Spirit works
ReplyDeleteSo true, yum din ang na realized ko, people here are quick to judge the new Pope and seems they didn’t even try to know him first! A simple google to him will make you realized why he was revered by the other Cardinals. His body of works or his credentials are good.
DeleteLOL! What are you guys talking about? Bilangin nyo mga comments na nega versus sa mga positive at defenders, mas madami ang positive at defenders dito eh.
DeleteParang yung ibang nagko-comment lang ng "here comes the annoying pinoy pride again" sa youtube pero basahin mo mga comments it's either wala namang nagcomment ng pinoy pride or mabibilang mo lang sa daliri.
God has ordained let’s be thankful and respect the decision. Prayers to our new Pope. May he lead Christianity to God’s love and mercy closer than ever.
ReplyDeletegood thing the new Pope is not pinoy. otherwise, magiging toxic na naman ang mga pinoy pride na utaw.
