A 50-year-old asthmatic man died at the "healing mass" of Father Fernando Suarez in Tacloban City, Wednesday.
A radio dzMM report identified the old man as Ricardo Mendiola of Alangalang town in Leyte province.
The report said the old man died at a hospital after an asthma attack in the middle of a huge crowd at Father Suarez's healing session.
The old man was one of the hundreds of people who flocked to Sto. Niño Church in Tacloban City to witness Suarez's healing power. Several people have been reportedly fainting out of exhaustion while lined up for the priest's healing session.
The priest is famous for his miraculous healing abilities. There were claims that the priest can heal all kinds of sickness by touching and praying over people.
The priest was scheduled to travel to Ormoc City after the healing mass in Tacloban.
