The ID and strap was a gift from the university to the pontiff as administrator of the pontifical institution.
Pope Francis serves as chancellor of the 404-year-old university.
The UST Theological Society said in a statement on its Facebook account that the pope's ID has all the features of UST faculty and student IDs. - Camille Diola
