As you passes by Baras this week, you would think that it‚Äôs fiesta, again. At least for Barangays San Juan and Santiago. The barangays were filled with banderitas. We cannot blame people from other towns from thinking that Barase√±os may be too rich to celebrate fiestas three times a year, with a month in between: last Sunday of January, March 19 and May 1. I guess we are already settled on when the town feast is. Read the rest of this entry »

I know that most of our kababayans are confused (again!) on when we should celebrate the town fiesta.

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‚Äôs 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. Ni√±o festival was a success. I didn‚Äôt 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.

The mass started earlier than scheduled, so I would say that I was 5 minutes late. Parish priest Rico Hilario was already in the facade of the church and the moment I comforted myself standing on the center isle, a spotlight came into my face, then suddenly to my back. My teacher in high school, Annabelle Anabo is holding an image of a baby Jesus, with her husband Christian. They walked towards the church and gave the image to Fr. Rico.

This is the first and last time that I attended the simbang gabi this 2007. Work requires me to be in the office from 10 pm to 7 am of the next day. It was my day off last Monday and yesterday, but I have to take photos of the misa de gallo in Tanay, Rizal for a project. Read the rest of this entry »

Ang isang masayang pamilya ay napakainam tingnan. Si Tatay, si Nanay, ang mga anak‚Ķ puno ng pagmamahalan, pag-uunawaan at malasakit sa isa‚Äôt isa. Sa araw ng Linggo ay makikitang sama-samang nagsisimba upang magpasalamat sa Diyos para sa mga biyayang natatanggap. Taglay dito ang pagsamo upang gabayan sa kanilang araw-araw na pamumuhay. Tunay na masasalamin na si Kristo ang sentro ng kanilang buhay. Read the rest of this entry »
