Bantayan Island
Worth visiting!
worth visiting..even if it's not Holy Week.. — 2 years ago
truly a festive celebration of Holy Week. unlike other catholic communitites in the Philippines, this place is celebrating on Good Friday. i mean, if u call street dancing, roasting pigs, carnicval, videoke fests and more a celebration.. then indeed this place rocks on holy week. was told, the pope, thru a papal bull, in 14th century dispensed them the obligation to fast on Holy week..esp. good friday…
but as we sat in the harbor area on good friday, i was amazed by the fleet of bancas/ small boats docked in the pier.. families from numerous islands and islets nearby made them their temporary lodging places.. i can imagine what it could have been born during the balangay period of the archipelago..
