Filipinos pass by a cutout of Pope Francis during a gathering of relatives of missing left-wing activists in Manila, Philippines as they observe All Souls Day on Sunday, Nov. 2, 2014. The group said they are asking Pope Francis to intercede in seeking justice for their missing loved ones. Having no grave or cemetery to visit, the relatives gather each year, bearing candles and flowers, and demand that the government take steps to produce their loved ones, dead or alive.
