After four days of visit, Baras Catholic faithfuls bid goodbye to an image known to guide travelers. This is still part of the 25th founding anniversary of the Diocese of Antipolo. The visit of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage started last Monday. Read the rest of this entry »
For those who are not yet aware of it, the image of the Our Lady of Peace of Good Voyage, more commonly known as the virgin of Antipolo, is in the Saint Joseph Parish church. The image will stay there for four days which started yesterday. This is part of the celebration of the 20th foundation of the Diocese of Antipolo. Read the rest of this entry »
In the wake of last Thursday’s Tromba Festival, I came about this e-book entitled “Dimasalang Kalendariong Tagalog.” This is basically just a electronic version of the old book that was published 86 years ago, by Honorio Lopez. Read the rest of this entry »
This is a beta post. I want to test if this video, which was taken using my N70, has a good quality. I might buy a handy video cam in the future for better quality videos. For those who want to contribute their videos, just send the raw file at hcarigma at gmail dot com. Let me evaluate it and if I liked it, I will include it in youtube.com/barasrizal.

I know that most of our kababayans are confused (again!) on when we should celebrate the town fiesta. More than three years after the Sangguniang Bayan approved an ordinance setting the town fiesta on the last Sunday of January, parish priest Rico Hilario now says that it should be March 19. As that day falls in Holy Wednesday, the Church decided that it will be celebrated on March 15 (Read the Catholic Online article here.). This confirms the earlier post that there will be no activities for this year’s fiesta. Read the rest of this entry »
Looking at the faithful and the crowd who processioned the images of the Holy Child, it would be safe to say that the first ever celebration of the Sto. Niño festival was a success. I didn’t realize you can do so much with that famous image, from a farmer to a nurse, from a student to a member of the knights of the altar, from Robin to a basketball player.
