Manila archdiocese bishop mourns death of COVID-19 victim

Bishop Broderick Pabillo of the Archdiocese of Manila expressed grief over the death of 41-year-old seminarian Noeh Lombo due to COVID-19.

Lombo, a second-year Theology student at the Redemptorist Mater Seminary in Parañaque, passed away on April 1 after a two-week confinement at the Philippine General Hospital.

The bishop urged the public to offer prayers for Lombo, his bereaved family, and all other victims of the virus.

This incident follows the earlier report of a Filipina Benedictine nun, Sr. Maria Gratia Balagot, who also succumbed to COVID-19 in Spain while visiting to renew her visa.

As of Saturday, health authorities reported a total of 3,094 COVID-19 cases nationwide with 144 fatalities and 57 recoveries.
