Pampanga village celebrates feast every Good Friday

hotel clark — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 02:03:18 +0000

PAMPANGA, Philippines – While Catholics are accustomed to fast and abstain from eating meat on Good Friday to commemorate the passion of Christ, a predominantly Catholic village in San Fernando celebrates its fiesta with plenty of meat dishes on the hallowed day.
Residents of Barangay San Pedro Cutud started celebrating their fiesta every Good Friday in the 1960s, when local and foreign tourists started visiting the village to witness traditional Lenten practices, particularly the actual crucifixions in a “mini Golgotha” here.
Before the 1960s, residents religiously observed fasting and abstinence every Feb. 22, the feast of their patron St. Peter. Four other dates are also associated with commemorating the saint, but none falls on any day near Good Friday.
Kapampangan Catholic priests here seemed to have softened their views on the issue.
Retired Benedictine priest Fr. Ed Santos expressed tolerance for the Good Friday fiesta in the village, saying that like many Filipinos, most of the local folk have been fasting and abstaining all year round because of poverty.
But he noted that “fasting and abstinence is a canonical practice to remind us that we are under the Bishop, the Pope. Some priests say those who do not practice this commit mortal sins, while others say otherwise.”
Headlines ( Article MRec ), pagematch: 1, sectionmatch: 1
The practice of fasting and abstinence is based on the 1966 Apostolic Constitution of Pope Paul VI, Paenitemini, and codified in the 1983 Code of Canon Law. Abstinence is required throughout the year on Fridays although the bishops’ conferences in some areas allow other penitential acts. During Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, abstinence and fasting are also required of Catholics.
Fr. Sol Gabriel, a parish priest in Angeles City, has a similar view. He said, “I will not limit myself to that perspective (that village folk commit mortal sins for not fasting and abstaining on Good Friday).”
While noting that the Catholic Church prescribes fasting and abstinence on Good Friday, Gabriel also said he does not “condemn” San Pedro Cutud folk.
“Instead, they should be just told about the consequences of what they’re doing. It (Good Friday) is not for show and fiesta,” he added.
On one hand, Santos said Catholic authorities may “grant dispensation during fiestas.”
Santos, who is also a Kapampangan historian, recalled there was a time when local Church authorities granted San Pedro Cutud folk dispensation from fasting and abstinence on Good Friday. But “we just don’t know whether that dispensation has expired.”
Santos, however, stressed that the question of fasting and abstinence on Good Friday is “between your conscience and God.”
For his part, Gabriel said that while he does not condemn San Pedro Cutud folk for shelving fasting and abstinence on Good Friday, he noted that there is a need “to rectify the situation.”
“Some of the people are just ignorant (of Church laws), but they can celebrate without going against the laws of the Church,” he said, adding “love the sinner, hate the sin.”

Several well-known leisure establishments in Clark have announced special Holy Week and Easter Holiday packages, deals and treats to welcome visitors from Manila as well as tourists arriving in the Clark International Airport – DMIA – to spend Easter Holidays in the Philippines.

hotel clark — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 06:27:07 +0000

Manila residents have discovered that Pampanga is a good choice for a holiday destination. Many families bring their children on a day trip to Clark for family bonding. Spending quality time together in exclusive resorts and hotels like Clearwater helps the whole family to relax, unwind and take away some of the stress of living in a crowded city.

The famous lake in Clark Pampanga Philippines

More and more families in Bulacan, Subic and Pampanga are traveling to Clark for the same reason – quality family bonding in a private and exclusive resort. Clark is well known as the safest vacation location with the lowest crime rate. The absence of traffic and pollution makes this city ideal for families needing to get away from the pressure of living and working in the city.

Family Bonding by the famous lake of Clark Pampanga

Clearwater Resort and Country Club has just unveiled a special group tour package designed specifically for family bonding. The basic package is for family group outing for four adults and four children, a total of eight persons.

Attire and Etiquette

The proximity of Clark to Manila makes it the best day trip destination for Manila residents. Even though the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) now takes travelers directly into Clark from Manila via a brief connection to Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway or SCTex, many families still find the 90-minute drive from Manila a bit too tedious and tiring.

In some parts of the Philippines, Holy Week has become a sort of street opera for tourists – with multiple crucifixions, marathonchants and a myriad of flagellants. This week-long spectacle draws thousands of participants, as well as interested spectators.
At the beginning of the week, people engage in marathon chanting of the Christ’s Passion in their little makeshift chapels. The devoutsingers are mostly comprised of old ladies who take their turns in singing hymns from the pages of the bible. This is a twenty four hour commitment which continues up to Black Saturday, as the religious await the Lord’s resurrection.

Be warned that many of these street tents are located near hotels and Inns and they broadcast their chants over loud speakers so you may want to re-think where you find lodging. During the day is one thing, but being kept up all night might ruin your daytime activities.
Meanwhile, other people are kept busy preparing their religious floats for the Holy Week processions. These are owned by the more affluent residents of the town and are mostly handed down from generation to generation and kept in impeccable condition due to their belief that the figures on their carriage guide them to a bountiful and comfortable life. Each carriage is decorated with gold and bronze plated frames and adorned with cloying flowers and set inblown glass and candlelight.
By three o’clock on Good Friday, the whole town is imbibed in a seemingly sullen mood. The pious kneel before household altars to recite various litanies. Some religious fanatics flog themselves to fulfill vows of penitence. Still others, test amulets, which they vow are authentic and would protect them from any harm, physical or otherwise. At Mount Banahaw, a supposedly sacred mountain in the province of Quezon, pilgrims from various religious sects and cults worship their deity at caves, rivers, rocks, waterfalls, streams, pools and springs until the dawn of Black Saturday.

Easter Sunday is the culmination of the whole commemoration of Holy Week. Unlike the previous days, this is a time for joy and merriment. The mood is festive and the people are busy preparing an Easter feast. A theatrical play takes place at dawn, the risen Christ meeting his sorrowful Mother. The two images come from different sides of the street and meet at the town church’s facade. The people clap and cheer and once again, sing praises of hymn.
It is truly a unique experience for a tourist to witness the Filipino’s celebration of Holy Week. For the locals, this is where religious fervor, theatrics and camaraderie blissfully collide.

Military vows extra vigilance this Holy Week

hotel clark — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 04:15:55 +0000

MANILA, Philippines – The military yesterday vowed to be extra vigilant to ensure public safety during the Holy Week.
Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) information chief Col. Arnulfo Burgos Jr. said field units would be deployed to boost intelligence operations against lawless elements to ensure that the Holy Week would be peaceful.
“We will be extra vigilant to be sure that there would be no problems and everything would be peaceful this coming (Lenten) season,” Burgos said.
AFP spokesman Brig. Gen. Jose Mabanta Jr. said it would be business as usual for soldiers even as the military’s alert level has not been raised.
“It depends on the commander if they will be allowed to go on Holy Week break… if they would give passes or leaves, depending on the situation as deemed appropriate by the commanders,” Mabanta said.
Mabanta said the AFP has not detected any immediate threat posed by armed rebels and terrorist groups. He gave assurance that the military would not be complacent during the long weekend.
Holy Week started yesterday with Palm Sunday and will end at dawn of Easter Sunday.
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) has been placed on full alert starting April 13 as it prepares for the exodus of thousands of people going to the provinces.
Full alert means all policemen would not be allowed to go on day-off or avail of vacation leaves to ensure the availability of enough number of personnel.
The military, however, did not raise its alert status as soldiers would only provide support to their police counterparts.
Around 5,000 policemen have been deployed around Metro Manila to secure public places. A total of 350 bus marshals and Motorized Anti-Crime Operatives were also tasked to monitor seaports, airports, churches, and bus terminals.
Around 500 soldiers were deployed in Metro Manila to augment the police.
AFP National Capital Region Command chief Brig. Gen. Tristan Kison said the soldiers will man checkpoints and secure vital installations like bus terminals, airports, and Light Rail Transit and Metro Rail Transit stations.

Philippines wedding planners and wedding reception caterers recommend Clark Philippines as this year’s premier destination for beach weddings and garden receptions. Wedding couples in Philippines no longer prefer traditional indoor venues and hotel ballrooms for wedding receptions in Manila, Angeles City, Subic and Clark Freeport.

Selecting a good and safe event venue in Philippines is not that easy. Many public event venues in resort hotels in Philippines can’t deliver assurances of safety and security. This exposes our corporate and private events to risks that are not acceptable to us as event organizers in Philippines.

TAGALOG LANG; Holy Week in the Philippines

hotel clark — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 04:15:18 +0000

Kwaresma is Lent. It is the season when Filipinos remember Christ’s passion (his suffering and death) and resurrection. It starts on Ash Wednesday, forty days before Easter Sunday. On this day, you will see Catholic Filipinos returning from church with ash smudged on their foreheads in the shape of a cross. If you don’t have the mark, you will be asked if you have attended Mass.

Semana Santa (Holy Week) is from Palm Sunday to Black Saturday, then Easter Sunday. It is traditionally a solemn occasion in the Philippines, a time for serious atonement.

Holy Week is when many people perform holy rites in fulfillment of a vow they made when they asked God a favor, such as a cure for an illness. Priests and religious statues are dressed in purple to symbolize gloom. Devout Catholics go to church everyday; some fast.
Palm Sunday commemorates the entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem, Filipino Catholics bring palaspas (palm fronds) to church to be blessed by the priests. Then they bring the fronds back home with them.

For most of the week, especially after Tuesday, the towns are eerily quiet with TV and radio stations going off the air and no loud noises or revelry whatsoever. Catholics stop eating meat, turning to fish, and the more devout ones go on a completely liquid diet. Many businesses are closed, so make sure you have supplies, especially food, stocked up.

The traditional pabasa (the “reading” or chanting of verses about the suffering of Christ) starts on Sunday and ends on Maundy Thursday, which is the day when the washing of the feet is celebrated.

Good Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Christ. On this day, you will see religious figures being carried through the towns on top of carrozas (carriages). The religious images and statues are veiled in black in mourning of the death of Jesus.

The most striking feature of Holy Week celebrations in the Philippines is the sight of Filipinos publicly whipping themselves. These are reenactments of the torture and death of Jesus. Some Filipinos not only whip their backs into a bloody mess, they also have their feet and hands nailed to a wooden cross. Tourists come from all over the world for the sight! In Manila, Tondo is the place to see these flagellants. Outside the capital, Pampanga and Nueva Ecija are famous for their flagellants who cover their faces with white cotton hoods. Crowns of thorns are placed on their heads to cause blood to drip.
Among Filipino superstitions on Good Friday is the prohibition against children playing. This is because they might injure themselves and not have their wounds heal. You will always be reminded that during this time when Jesus is dead, and so everything is awry and bad things are apt to happen.

Black Saturday is when Christ is entombed. Filipinos spend the day preparing for the night vigil leading up to Easter Sunday.

Easter Sunday is a celebration of the resurrection of Christ. At four o’clock in the morning, Filipinos do a salubong ceremony commemorating how the Virgin Mary met her son Jesus who has come back to life. Her image will be brought to the image of the Christ at the local church. Flower petals will be rained down on them. Everyone is happy that Jesus is alive again and that the world is back right. On Easter day, grocery stores re-open and you can buy food.

In contemporary times, these Philippine traditions are slowly disappearing. Young Filipinos now use the Holy Week to vacation at the beach.
