Four years ago, this frail man walked alone through the rain in the empty St. Peter's Square, leading the world in prayer to end the coronavirus pandemic. Now that he is sick, it is our turn to pray for Pope Francis @Pontifex, hoping for the restoration of his health. 🙏🏾 ✏️ ignited to inspire @advoluntas @nicky_zwan @CatholicFQ @popmonkph @pads_nosi @jadelicuanan

Rappler has been reporting on the troubling truths about the country's education system, which stem from decades of neglect and underinvestment. While these realities are disheartening, we hope the government will take action to address them moving forward. A thread 🧵:
