MANILA -- President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Monday joined the world in praying for the speedy recovery of Pope Francis, who remains in critical condition due to pneumonia and kidney issues.

"Nakakalungkot na marinig ang malubhang karamdaman ni Pope Francis," Marcos Jr. said in a statement.

"Sa mga sandaling ito, kaisa tayo ng buong mundo sa panalangin para sa kanyang kalakasan at paggaling," he said.

"Nawa'y patuloy siyang patnubayan at palakasin ng Panginoon upang magpatuloy sa kanyang misyon ng pananampalataya at pagmamahal sa sangkatauhan," he said.

In 2015, Pope Francis visited the Philippines, the lone predominantly Catholic country in Asia, where he held a mass in the capital city and visited victims of Typhoon Yolanda in Leyte.

The 88-year-old pontiff's health reportedly declined earlier this month after he contracted pneumonia.

On Sunday, the Vatican said that the Pope remained in critical condition after tests showed signs of early kidney failure.
