Philippine Airlines (PAL) recently opened to the public an exhibit of Pope Francis memorabilia during his visit to the country.

The exhibit displays photos and in-flight items used by the Pontiff on his flights to Tacloban and back to Rome. The items may be viewed at the pre-departure area of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 until April 30.
