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

                                                   The  kapitana reciting the dicho for Easter

                                           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 little angel equipped with lapel mike sings Regina Coeli

                                       The little angel scatters flower confetti as she sings

The owners of the images spent a lot of money to decorate their saints, the flower decors, the food, and the carriers (taga buhat)  The family must have done a lot of chipping in to sustain this practice/religious devotion.

Take a look

                                             For the uniform of the carriers

                                                 Green mums...!! Wow!!

                                                         The band expenses

                                                  Kwitis.... paputok

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 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:

                               the big bird is the champ, shall open the heart containing the angel
