This Holy Week, categorically speaking, Batangueños will be: (1) prayerful, will perform obligations as Catholics; (2) vacationers, will take a much-deserved relaxation with either family or friends; (3) dutiful employees, much as they don’t like to, others will still be at work.
Where will you be at and what are you planning to do this Holy Week?
A lot of Batangueños still stick to observing Holy Week traditions like doing Visita Iglesia, going on retreats, joining religious processions, and performing what for them is their “panata” such as climbing Mt. Maculot.
But there are those who take this chance to be with their families as the four days off (for most employees) is the best time to go someplace else.
And then there are those whose work schedule isn’t really align with the rest.
We asked our Facebook page likers what are their plans this Holy Week. Here are some of the responses we’ve got:
Ryzel Ingebrigtsen: “Mag prusisyon at mag observe ng Holy Week dito sa Balayan. Dinarayo din dito kapag Good Friday ang Chapel ng Senor Nazareno na bago ka makahalik sa paa ay mahaba haba ang dapat ipila pero worth it naman.”
Issay Calingasan: “Panata ko na pag-akyat sa Mt. Maculot.”
Teddy Adarlo: “Magnilay…. umakyat sa mt. makulot….”
Boyet Carag Castillo: “Ala eh akoy pihong papasok pa rin sa trabaho at sa hapon eh kasama ng pursisyon ng simbahan.”
Vincent Erieso: “LAIYA :)”
Marilyn Sevilla Miravalles: “As usual, swimming swimming..”
Armin Punzalan: “Sa bahay lang…. mas taimtim na pagninilay sa mahal na araw…. Di kailangang dumayo sa ibang lugar sapagkat ang tunay na kahulugan ng mahal na araw ay ang pagsisisi at di ang pamamasyal or panonood sa mga tao sa kapaligiran…. After ng holy week at saka magswimming or mamasyal.”
German Reyes Gonzalbo: “Family gathering da best! At pinakaimportante sa lahat ay pagpapasalamat sa dakilang lumikha sa pagsalo ng ating mga kasalanan.”
Whatever your plans are, make some time to reflect on what these days off from work are meant for. Remember Him and what He has done for the rest of us.
Have a safe and meaningful Holy Week, everyone!
