Some pictures of 2017 Angono Salubong

I have heard that the Salubong today starts very early.  Thus when I arrived, the crowd has gathered.  I could not get close to the puso nor the entablado.  The parish priest was all ready addressing the crowd when I got to the open space of Bloomingdale.

The innovation to the celebration was a big video wall, I would say 3 x 3 meters and the rental for this (who shouldered the added expense, the parish or the kapitana and tenyenta family?)

                                      The priest and the sacristan on the entablado with the kapitana

                                          Back of the video wall

                                                The band instruments

                                                   At nabuksan na...

                                                                "Regina Coeli..."

                                                The priest and the kapitana

                                                     The wintesses to the resurrection

                                             Hundreds of kuwitis para magsaya sa araw na ito

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:
