Do not be surprised if a “global south” cardinal gets elected. It remains to be seen.

Cardinal Tagle would fit in that block! :) I found another article written today about him:
...Lingayen-Dagupan Emeritus Archbishop Oscar Cruz on Tuesday said that Tagle had an equal chance like any other cardinal.

Also, Cruz did not see Tagle's age as a stumbling block. “When John Paul II was elected pope, he was 58 at that time.”

Tagle, at 55, is the second youngest member of the College of Cardinals.

“He [Tagle] is a very powerful fellow, humble and good. I haven’t seen him mad, he is always smiling, so I think he’s good,” Cruz concluded. http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/297070/news/nation/college-of-cardinals-may-be-open-to-tagle-as-next-pope-church-law-professor-says
Tagle also has a Facebook page that looks very popular: https://www.facebook.com/ArchbishopTagle

As you say, "It remains to be seen." Prayers continue.
