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

                                                    The video wall

Fiesta celebration 2018 at Angono, some photos

Ang Uno sa Lahat

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

                                       Beautiful lady is a member of the gang, have water gun will fire

                                 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
                                                                         Clement

Naganap na ikinatatakot ko ng lahat: malagim na aksidente sa Manila East Road dahil sa walang disiplinang drivers

                                                          Blood, gore and dismembered limbs.
                                                 Ilan pa ang isasakripisyo para kumilos ang alagad ng batas

Ilang beses nang umapela sa FB at sa site na ito sa mga may kapangyarihan na ienforce ang batas trapiko sa highway (sa diversion) Manila East road   Investment sa traffic infrastructure, kasi parang race track ito ng mga jeep Cubao JRC para makarami. Tingin ko ang iba kargado ng droga at lasing.  May pabanking2 pa. 

Mga pakiusap sa namamahala hinggil sa batas trapiko

Heto na nga.  Martes ng gabi 4 ang patay sa isang malagim na aksidente.  Pangalawa kaagad ito sa magkalapit ng lugar before LTO...!!!!... Di na maibabalik ang buhay.  Maski ikulong mo ng 10x habambuhay ang driver.  Ang naganap na ay naganap.  Ika nga ng kanta ni Peter Paul and Mary, "How many times must cannon balls fly..."....xxxs "the answer my friend is blowing in the wind."

Iyakan blues na lang.  Ipinalangin natin ang kaluluwa ng namatay at ng mga driver na harungas, at otoridad na natutulog.... at pabaya.

                                                   Homecide from reckless imprudence
                                                     madaling makakalaya.  Ano balak
                                                       ng PNP, LTO, LFTRB?

                                                       Pilipit bali bali katawan... Patay...

                                                                Malagim na eksena
                                       na dapat leksyon sa mga namamahala ng kalsada (kung meron)

                                                                   Nakikiramay sa mga naulila
