MANILA, Philippines — A steady stream of people is heading toward a downtown park in the Philippine capital, hours before an afternoon Mass by Pope Francis that is expected to draw a crowd of several million.

The huge outdoor Mass on Sunday is the culminating event of the pope's visit to the Philippines, Asia's largest Catholic country. He returns to the Vatican on Monday.
