00:00 Something caught Pope Francis' attention during one of his Wednesday General Audiences at the Vatican.
00:06 The Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro, 66-year-old Jose Cabantan, lines up to greet the Pope on October 11,
00:13 when the Pope suddenly reached out for and inspected Cabantan's pectoral cross.
00:18 In a message to Rappler, Cabantan says,
00:21 "He just appreciated it and remarked, 'This is very good.'"
00:24 The cross stood out for the beaded and indigenous design of its lace,
00:28 which is different from the plain metallic laces used by other bishops.
00:32 He told the Pope he got the cross when he was the Bishop of Malaybalay, Bukidnon,
00:36 in southern Philippines from 2010 to 2020.
00:39 Cabantan is a known defender of indigenous people and their rights.
