Jorge Bergoglio, 78, gave examples of a strong health when moving in front of Philippine crowds who almost prevented the pass of the religious caravan.

Despite the deployment of extreme security measures, the Pope greeted and talked with those rallied on either side of the routes the visitor passed.

The climax of the tour took place during a Sunday mass at the capital's Rizal park, where about six million members met there facing the inclemency of weather.

Jorge Bergoglio issued favorable calls to the values of the traditional family and gave an impetus towards a more coherent Philippine society with the Christian ethics, according to the Vatican's spokesman, Federico Lombardi.

During a mass in Taboclan, His Holiness declared his solidarity with the survivors of the Super Typhoon Haiyan, which killed and missed more than 7,000 people, and its ravages are still evident.

In Sri Lanka, a predominantly Buddhist country with only seven percent Catholics, Francis urged to good coexistence and inter-religious respect when he declared that the right to freedom of speech does not authorize to 'insult' or mock the faith of others.

The Pope's visit to Philippines was characterized by a extreme deployment of security measures with cement walls, metallic networks, and some 50,000 soldiers.
