This is probably the 50th time I took time out for the fiesta, and this ritual has attracted a new breed and hordes of devotees. The fluvial parade snakes around the town for at least 2 km.  See the wonderful pictures.

Rizal Philippines November 13, 2016
                                                           En route to finish line at Wawa The main street of Angono in front of the municipal hall was blocked this morning.  Reason, about hundreds or thousand riders of all types, roadies and MTB were waiting for the starting gun for a fun caravan ride that would cover Angono, Binangonan Cardona, that would cover 26 km. Entry fee is P350  (there must be a thousand participants) They wore green and white jersey (green is fluorescent) I joined the caravan on the way back from  Binangonan to Angono.  I overtook it though at Tagpos The pace is slow but there is a lot of jockeying to be at front of peloton from every body.  PUSO MC riders led the group and there were 2 ambulances that supported the ride.
                                                Near Island Gas at Calumpang
                                                    There must be a thousand of them

                                         The Angono Catholic Cemetery


                         The Angono Catholic Cemetery = nice arch entrance and monuments

This post had the opportunity to study and make comparison between the Angono Catholic and Municipal Cemeteries.  The Catholic is ahead in infrastructure planning, cleanliness, organization and is inching its way up the ladder closer to the memorial park.  Their lawns which have alleys back to back is an improvement over Holy Gardens.  They too have a CR.

The municipal cemetery has improved its entrance and observed the setback.  It seems that the management is hell bent on improving.  But it will take a lot more money and time.

                                Lucio D. San Pedro (daughter Cristina at the background)



This post having not much to do visited the graves of some of the Angono Greats.  Notable are Carlos V Francisco (for painting and murals) and Prof Lucio D. San Pedro (for music)  They placed Angono at the national level (made Angono famous)  But it seems no one seem to care and remember.  The folks have now embraced different heroes and icons. They are interred at the Catholic Cemetery where they occupy two separate mausoleum

I also visited the mausoleum of the 3 generations of mayors  all surnamed VillaMAYOR.   Domingo, Vivencio Jr. and Aurora;   They are interred at family mausoleum at Angono Municipal Cemetery


                                 She  fmr Mahyor Au was mayor before the incumbent now


                                             The three generations of Villamayor\\\
