Easter (Pag)Bati Salubong Celebration today at Angono Rizal April 21, 2019

Ang Uno sa Lahat

Angono, Rizal
April 21, 2019

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

Today November 23, 2018. is the Feast of St. Clement the patron saint of Angono.   Although it is not St. John feast, a lot of wet experience take place:  being shot by water pistols and canons being  drenched with clean and dirty water all for fun.

Ang of course plenty of Higantes.  And a lot campaigning all ready taking place for the midterm elections

As usual, there is a lot of traffic frayed nerves in this celebration. Wish all of  you joined this fun

                                 A throng beneath the banderitas in front of town hall, where beer and
                                              wine fest took place for the last week;  they closed the
                                               road to traffic.

                                               Wet road and flaglets mark the road going to Wawa
                                                                where the Pagoda awaits the image of St
