02:41But, when you talk to him, napakabahit po, napaka-approachable.
02:46Really?
02:46But, ang masabi ko sa kanya, he's a mad few words, but he speaks with precision talaga.
02:52Very clear, with clarity ng mind niya.
02:56When he speaks, talagang he speaks with calmness.
02:59Yes.
03:00With composure.
03:01But, again, he speaks, when you talk to him, or with him, right there, and then, it's straight to the point.
03:09He doesn't talk so much excessively.
03:11Like, yung mga trivial things, parang P&A niya yun.
03:18Hindi siya mahilig sa small talk.
03:21Oo, small talks.
03:22Talagang, pag nag-usap kayo, something very substantial, something very essential.
03:27Though, you can talk also something.
03:28Okay.
03:29Pero, hindi siya gano'n ka-in sa mga gano'ng nang-usapin.
03:34Opo.
03:35Father Jonas, usually sinasabi nila, kapag yung pinili mo na PayPal name, ito yung mag-set ng direction sa iyong papacy.
03:44He chose Leo XIV.
03:47Alam natin, si Leo XIII was really a champion of social justice and rights for the minorities and workers.
03:54Sa tingin niyo po ba, isa rin ito sa ipagpapatuloy ni Pope Leo XIV, yung ganitong klaseng sistema ng social justice and rights for the minorities.
04:05By the mere fact that he has chosen a name.
04:07Yes.
04:08It reaches a good signal or the impression na ipagpatuloy talaga niyo.
04:12Based dun sa kanyang life history, he was working as missionary dun sa Peru, as a priest, as a bishop.
04:24So, dun, masabi natin that he has the passion of, you know, doing all these things, continuing what was being left by Pope Leo XIII.
04:36Yun ang masabi kong ano.
04:39Kaya pinili niya yun.
04:43Pinili niya yun yung pakala na yun.
04:44Maraming maraming salamat po sa inyong oras, Father Jonas Mejares.
04:49Thank you very much for your time.
04:50Maraming salamat din po.
04:51Maraming salamat din po.
04:52Again, what made him a Pope for me, this is my personal opinion,
04:59because he was able to bring actually, he was able to bring to the table his pastoral experience,
05:05his pastoral exposure, you know, plus the fact that he's an expert of the law because he is a canon lawyer, actually.
05:13So, he can easily navigate the complexities of the structure and governance of the central government in Rome, in the Vatican.
05:23So, yun ang combination yun.
05:25And aside from that, he's a polyglot.
05:28Aside from English, he can speak very well Spanish.
05:30He was in Peru.
05:32He can speak Italian because he studied in Italy.
05:34He was studying Canelo.
05:35And then he can speak Portuguese.
05:37He can speak French.
05:38Yes.
05:38So, as a prophet, he can understand very well German and Latin.
05:44So, we are in good hands because the Pope, as I would like to describe him, is both doctrinal and pastoral.
