The national committee is tasked with ensuring the smooth visit of Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI in January 2023
About 3 months before the expected visit of Pope Francis to the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte formed a national organizing committee to ensure the smooth flow of his visit.
In a memorandum released Friday, October 6, Duterte called for the creation of the Papal Visit and World Youth Day 2023-National Organizing Committee (PV-NOC) to coordinate preparations. The Committee is chaired by Executive Secretary Salvador C. Medialdea and vice-chaired by Foreign Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano.
Other members include:
“As instructed by President Duterte, all heads of the different government departments, local governments as well as the private sectors are encouraged to participate and coordinate all efforts to make sure that the visit of His Holiness in our country next year will be well organized and peaceful,” Medialdea said in a statement.
Among the duties of the committee are ensuring cooperation between public and private sectors, particularly with the central committee of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP); peace and order; and traffic management.
The memorandum, effective immediately, also established two local executive committees – one in Manila and another in Leyte – where the Pope is expected to visit. The local committees will “serve as the on-site full-time, day-to-day operations arms of the PV-WYD-NOC,” said the statement.
Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI will be making a stop in Leyte to visit disaster-hit victims. Their visit comes nine years after Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan) killed more than 6,000 people, mostly in Tacloban City in Eastern Visayas.
This will mark the first time in 3 decades – only the second time ever – for a pope to go beyond the Philippine capital, Manila, as the first Latin American pontiff vows to reach out to the world's “peripheries.”
The Pope is expected to visit the Philippines on January 12 to 16, 2023. His trip will be the first by a Pope since Pope John Paul II's visit in 1995 and himself in 2015.
