SA nalalapit na pagdalaw ni Pope Francis sa Pilipinas, ise-share namin sa inyo ang naging tugon ng ilang celebrities nang tanungin kung ano ang hihilingin o ibibigay nila sa Santo Papa kung bibigyan sila ng pagkakataong makaharap ito. Narito ang pagpapatuloy ng panayam.
Martin Nievera:
“I would give the Pope the DeLorean time machine from the movie ‘Back to the Future’ so he could go back in time and stop hatred and prejudice before they happen. If I could ask him for a gift, I would just love to have what everyone wants from the Pope—a selfie!
“I would tell him about my problems, my prayers and my own needs—I’m only human. He’s just a man and he has one of the biggest roles in the world. I see the Pope as a living messenger, one who stands for forgiveness, peace and love.
What are the pressures of being a Pope? That power alone must be stressful. I’d like to hear about his struggles and wishes. If I had more than a moment, I would just listen to him.”
Vice Ganda:
“I’m thinking of composing a song for the Papal visit. That would be my gift to Pope Francis. I wrote my first song for the ‘Magpasikat Week’ segment of It’s Showtime. Gustong kong makagawa ng something with a more or less similar theme.”
Richard Yap:
“I would ask him to pray to God for our country, that we may get to surpass all the trials that we’re experiencing as a nation, be it natural calamities or whatever scandals that are happening in our government. I would no longer ask for anything personal. I’m too blessed to wish for more.”
