MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED 7:30 p.m.) - Pope Francis is now in the Philippines for his historic state and apostolic visit.
The plane carrying Pope Francis arrived at the Villamor Air Base in Pasay City at 5:32 p.m. The Pope just came from his two-day visit to Sri Lanka.
Before stepping out of the plane, the Pope was seen peering out of his window several times as the crowd cheered excitedly.
The pope was all smiles while waving on top of the jet's steps even if the wind blew away his skullcap.
President Benigno Aquino III led the nation in welcoming the pope, along with 12 government officials and 12 clergymen.
