As is the tradition, the Angono folks greeted the Easter Sunday with the the traditional bati, dicho at Bloomingdale Homes.  It must have started at 5 am because when I arrived at 5:30 am, it was halfway done. There was this video wall (expensive) complete video coverage and the works.  The kapitana and tenyenta must have spent hundreds of thousands of pesos to defray the cost of this celebration:   saya, banda, video coverage, food and the whole works

Happy Easter

Here are the other pictures

                                           At the  portion "nabuksan na" the birds swoop down to
                                             open the heart contraption containing an angel who
                                             will remove the black pall of the Virgin Mary image.  Only
                                              the big white bird representing purity can open the heart

                                        The angel lifted the veil of mourning from the Virgin Mary (Christendom)


The traditional salubong was held very early today at a little before 5 am. The procession started at 4:30 am, and the bells started pealing before 4 am.  I arrived at the site - Bloomingdale Homes park about 5 minutes before the actual salubong,.  The Virgin Mary image was coming from Itaas, and the Risen Christ was coming form ibaba.  All other image of the tableau, Mary Magdalene and the other ladies were all ready at the Bloomingdale Park.  All ready about thousand people had gathered at the park and tights were all ablaze, the gensets of the images were all singing adding to the din and excitement.

For the benefit of those who did not witness this, here are some of the pictures:
