Won as runner up 2
Cebu Pacific’s inflight magazine SMILE has alread finished judging its Amazing Smile Photography Contest and guess what, my photo of the Flower Girl (left) won as one of 10 runners up considering that they initially did not ask for this photo but they texted me to submit this one a few days later (They accepted my McArthur Monument submission at first) . Not bad at all.
The photo will be published in the June/July issue of Smile.
From church to recamadero 0
The Santo Intierro is transported from the old stone church to the recamadero’s (traditional keeper of the image) house where it will stay until Good Friday. People will be coming over to venerate the image.
The assistant 0
While most of the flagellants started as early as midnight of Good Friday, this penitent started rather late, almost 0800H. Maybe, its not the time that counts but the effort. The skirt and panghampas he used was from another penitent who just finished his ritual. Blood stains from the previous person can still be seen here.
