POPE Francis has conveyed to Calidad Humana founder and Energy Development Corporation (EDC) consultant Amb. Roberto Mayorga his appreciation for the book the latter sent him earlier this year.

Monsignor Paolo Borgia, assessor for general affairs of the Secretariat of State, expressed the Holy Father’s delight in receiving a copy of “Calidad Humana: Sharing the Filipino Spirit” and invoked upon the project an “abundance of joy and peace.”

“Everyone gets acknowledged by the pope and soon enough he might just read the book and find that sharing the Filipino spirit is a unique but common experience here in the Philippines and that he is fortunate to have felt its warmth when he visited the country last year,” said Amb. Mayorga.

EDC-Calidad Humana and the RTR Foundation based in Leyte had organized the Santo Papa Football Cup in honor of the pontiff during his 2015 visit.

Amb. Mayorga noted that calidad humana is a familiar phrase in Latin America, particularly in Argentina where Pope Francis served as archbishop of Buenos Aires before assuming the papacy.
