00:37You know that our devout Catholic friends come there to pray for Pope Francis.
00:45Did you notice that the number of Filipinos who came there increased?
00:49I heard a lot of them because the language is Tagalog.
00:53We saw the presence of the Filipino community in the Holy Rosary this evening.
01:01Pia, will the vigil and Holy Rosary be held every day in Vatican City?
01:06Yes, it started tonight and it will be held every night.

01:24What about the vigils and prayers?
01:26Are there Filipinos who attend the vigils and those who live there or work in Rome?
01:34Yes, there are a lot of them.
01:36Actually, there are Sunday Mass for the Filipino community
01:41where the Holy Father's healing is of special intention.
01:47Pia, you are there. It's easier to get information and updates.
01:56How is Pope Francis now?
01:58According to the Vatican, how is he as we speak?
02:04Okay.
02:05Earlier at 7 p.m. here in Rome,
02:08an update was released by Gemelli Hospital about the health of the Holy Father
02:15and how he was doing yesterday.
02:18According to Gemelli Hospital,
02:20the condition of the Holy Father showed signs of recovery.
02:25And even though he had mild renal insufficiency,
02:30this should not be neglected because it is under control.
02:35His blood analysis also showed that his hemoglobin is fine.
02:42He also did not have a respiratory crisis yesterday.
02:46So, everyone is hoping that the positive response of the Holy Father to his treatments will continue.
