Luna Street in Intramuros, and stopped at ANAK-Tnk, a foundation that helps street children. All the bishops, priests and the religious who went in front of the Church’s entrance as well members of the press sprinted toward its side door, hoping to catch up with the Pope. The Pope, together with Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle, walked along Intramuros and stopped at ANAK-Tnk. The Pope is known for breaking protocols and traditions in order to be closer to the people. “He was walking along the street and he suddenly turned towards our office. We were so surprised,” a staff of the foundation said. Aside from street children, the foundation also provides assistance to mentally challenged children and children in slum areas. Vatican Spokesman Federico Lombardi said the Pope spent almost half an hour with over 300 children who welcomed him with song, dance and hugs.
