The visit of Pope Paul VI on November 27, 1970 marked the first time a Pope traveled to the Philippines. During papal visits, the Pope attends to the 63.2 million professing Catholics in the country, functioning as the head of the Roman Catholic Church. But the Pope also functions as the Vatican’s head of state; therefore a visit from the Pontiff is considered a diplomatic State Visit.
The Philippines has received a total of four papal visits. Pope Francis will be visiting the Philippines on January 15 to 19, 2015.
