Higantes Festival at Angono Rizal

The Higantes Festival, Angono’s joyous fiesta in honor of San Clemente whose image, resplendent in papal vestment, is borne by male devotees during a procession accompanied by “parehadoras”(devotees dressed in colorful local costumes, wooden shoes and carrying boat paddles and “higantes” giant 10-foot paper machete puppets go on parade in the town). The street event culminates in a fluvial procession in Laguna de Bay amidst revelry that continues until the image is brought back to sanctuary and it is celebrated during 3rd week in month of November.





Awww… actually I supposed to set my schedule for this Sunday November 23, to witness the celebration but unfortunately I have to go and travel in Ilagan City at Mindanao province prior to my work. So I hope the photos and link posted here could give you an enough satisfaction of Higantes Festival celebration.

Please for my next post of about Iligan City… Mabuhay!…

I'm giving Big Thumbs up! for all photos of this people : Ting06, Malouscat, Waffy Casem, Ferdzdecena, and Orio_21. TYVM!
