MANILA - In another show of humility, one of the world’s most powerful leader opened the car himself upon arriving in Malacanang.

Pope Francis left his temporary home at the Apostolic Nunciature before 9 a.m. to proceed to Malacanang for a courtesy call.

Pope Francis did not use a popemobile, but still rolled down the window of the Volkswagen Touran and tried to reach as many as people as possible during the motorcade.

He opened the car’s door sans the help of aides upon arriving in Malacanang. Guards had to rush to help him.

Pope Francis has been charming many Filipinos, even the non-Catholics, ever since his arrival on Thursday afternoon.
