Wedding Reception Venue Manila Pampanga Philippines » Outside Manila In the North

Pampanga village celebrates feast every Good Friday

wedding venue — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 01:30:48 +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.”

Garden style wedding reception can take place within a few meters from the beach of this hotel in Clark Philippines so guests and observe the ceremony at the comfort of their seats on the table.

It is important to visitor that the family feels safe in a hotel in Angeles Philippines. That is a main reasons that we choose to stay in this hotel in Clark Pampanga outside of Manila Philippines. Many don’t like the hotels in Subic or some of the hotel in Angeles City Pampanga. This highly recommended hotel in Angeles city Clark Philippines does not make them comfortable and secure.

Traffic along the North Expressway NLEX from Manila to Clark is always light and the new Subic Tarlac Clark Expressway ScTex takes visitors straight into Clark Freeport without going through any towns and cities along the way.

Philippines urged to deport nearly 300 Taiwanese

wedding venue — Mon, 17 Sep 2012 03:31:29 +0000

MANILA, Philippines — Taiwan wants the Philippines to immediately deport nearly 300 Taiwanese who were arrested by Manila police in a massive anti-fraud crackdown after one died and some began falling ill in crowded detention.
Philippine authorities arrested 380 suspected members of an online fraud syndicate, including 291 Taiwanese, 86 Chinese and a New Zealander, in simultaneous raids last month in houses in metropolitan Manila and nearby Rizal province. It was the most single-day arrests in a Philippine anti-crime operation in years.
The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office, Taiwan’s de facto embassy in Manila, said Sunday that it wants the Taiwanese to be deported “as soon as possible.”
Chinese and Taiwanese officials worked with Philippine police to bust the syndicate, which allegedly defrauded victims in China and Taiwan in an elaborate online scam. (AP)

Picnic Camping Package offered by Clearwater Resort in Clark, Pampanga

wedding venue — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 05:00:58 +0000

Clearwater Resort unveils a special package to enable more visitors to enjoy an overnight picnic camping experience in Clark.

The famous lake in Clark Pampanga Philippines

Clearwater offers unique ambience that enables the guests of this resort in Pampanga to relax and unwind in a stress-free environment. Event organizers look for a good picnic spot near Manila to hold an overnight event for participants stressed out by the congestions and pollution of living and working in a crowded city to relax and unwind.

However budget constraints have prevented organizers from bringing their team building and company outings to resorts in Pampanga that offer safe, clean and beautiful ambience for their events. Manila event planners laud Clearwater Resort for offering a special overnight package that fits tight budgets for their events.

Dubbed “picnic camping”, this package includes overnight accommodation plus two meals and access to facilities of Clearwater Resort, all that for as low as php1,100 per participant. Details of this package are as follows:

Lagoon by the white sand beach of Clearwater Resort in Clark Pampanga

Dormitory Sleepover Accommodation at Brunello Function Rooms

Bamboo sleeping mats are placed on the floor of the Brunello function rooms. These mats are 1.5 x 1.95 meters in size, commonly referred to as queen size. Blankets and pillows are not included so participants should be advised to bring their own or else the organizers should make provisions to provide participants with these sleeping amenities.

MEALS

Lunch and breakfast are included in this package. These are served at the Brunello Function room canopy areas at specific hours.

LUNCH MENU

Pork cutlet a la pizzaiolla
Garnished with fresh chunky pomodore sauce and basil.

Enjoying a meal underneath Acacia trees in picnic spots of Clearwater Resort

Roasted chicken legs
Oven roasted home farm chicken leg served with spiced pito gallo salsa.

Steamed fragrant rice
Buttered seasonal vegetables
Fruits in season

One round of ice tea

BREAKFAST MENU

Tapsilog
Beef tapa, one fried egg,
Fried rice and pickled papaya

One round of coffee.

BYO DINNER

You may bring your own dinner provided that it comprises of cooked, canned and dried food items. All bring-in food will be consumed at the campfire ground near the Brunello function rooms. A security deposit of php10,000 is required and liquidated against damages inflicted on the venue and failures to clean up after the meal.

Event organizers take full responsibility for ensuring safety and hygiene for bring-in food and the way it is served and consumed. Uncooked and semi-cooked food is not permitted. A reasonable amount of cooking equipment such as portable gas stove and small portable grills can be brought in to warm up parts of the dinner for service. Management reserves the right to deny entrance of all equipment that might be considered hazardous.

PRICE

Price is php70,000 for up to 60 persons.

Additional persons pay php1,100 per person.

Full payment is required upon confirmation of reservation. Security deposit maybe paid upon arrival. All payments are made in cash or bank deposits. Credit card payment will involve credit charges added to our charges.

Enjoying the beautiful lake of Clearwater Resort in Clark, Pampanga

The concept of picnic camping is obviously not about luxury. Accommodation is very basic. Sleeping on bamboo mats on the floor smacks of a camping experience except that the converted dormitory is air conditioned.

Bathroom facilities are just a few steps away in the Brunello comfort room facilities which include outdoor showers also. Showers are available at the Locker house during the day time.

Meals are simple and basic also. This is a low-budget package which is designed to enable participants to enjoy the ambience and facilities of Clearwater Resort.

It is the experience that matters here. Participants leave Clark with memories of a wonderfully relaxing feeling enriched with interactions with each other over the course of an overnight stay at Clearwater Resort. Waking up early, participants can enjoy the subtle thrill of a sunrise coming down from nearby Mount Arayat. Gathering up over dinner in the campfire grounds in the evening develop a sense of bonding that organizers of team building events seek to achieve.

This popular resort in Pampanga is also frequently used by event organizers to hold company outings and team building for companies in Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac. Even companies in Subic travel to Clark to hold their conferences, meetings and team building events in Clark because of the private outdoor event venues offered by this highly recommended resort in Pampanga. In fact, Clearwater is one of the resorts in Pampanga lauded by travel agencies and event organizers for offering some of the best picnic spots near Manila. Tourists and Manila residents regard Clearwater as one of the best hotels in Clark as a holiday spot in the Philippines.

Lodges, cabins and cottages in Clearwater Resort by the Lake

Experienced event organizers place safety, law and order and privacy as the most important criteria for selecting a suitable venue outside Manila. They realize that unpleasant incidences can ruin the entire event causing anxiety among participants and taking all the fun away from a summer outing outside Manila.

Holy Week in the Philippines is a unique and fascinating experience

wedding venue — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:47:08 +0000

The Philippines is approximately 85 percent Christian (mostly Roman Catholic), 10 percent Muslim, and 5 percent ‘other’ religions.
In this predominantly Roman Catholic country, the Philippine’s commemoration of the week leading up to Easter is a one of the most fascinating religious events in the world.
Holy Week is known as Semana Santa (the Spanish translation of the religious festival itself). Many superstitions abound regarding this holiest of weeks, such as that wounds inflicted or received on Good Friday take long to heal and that amulets acquired on the said day are especially powerful.
Throughout the week, most businesses in the Philippines either shut down operations until Black Saturday or have later opening and earlier closing times, and (mostly local) television or radio stations nationwide either stay off the air and those that sign-on air shows with more solemn or serious content, especially films and programs with a religious theme.
An example is the airing of the Seven Last Words on Good Friday live from churches on various local channels and films about the life and death of Jesus. During the Easter Triduum, usually a public holiday, some television stations even interrupt broadcast altogether until Black Saturday in observance of this solemn occasion, Holy Week.
Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday of Holy Week
Holy Monday to Holy Wednesday marks the beginning of the Pabasa (literally, “reading”) or the Pasyon, the marathon chanting of the poetic prayer-story of Jesus’ life, Passion, and death, which continues day and night, for as long as two straight days.
Maundy Thursday
Come Maundy Thursday, a popular tradition is “Church Visit” or “Visita Iglesia”, which involves visiting a church or several churches at which the devotees would pray the devotion known as the Stations of the Cross. In the morning, they would join their parish priest in the usual morning mass in the cathedral. This time of the day is a very joyful celebration as this is considered by many priests in the country to be the day when they renew their sacerdotal vows.
Also celebrated on this day is the last Mass before Easter (commonly called the Mass of the Institution of the Lord’s Supper) usually including a re-enactment of the washing of the Feet of the Apostles; this Mass is followed by the procession of the Blessed Sacrament before it is taken to the Altar of Repose. TV and Radio networks in the nation will formally either sign-off until Easter Sunday or start restricting broadcasts related to religion, especially to the Holy Week.
Good Friday
Good Friday, a public holiday in the Philippines, is commemorated with solemn street processions, the Way of the Cross, the commemoration of Jesus’ Seven last words and a Passion play called the Senakulo. In some communities (most famously in the province of Pampanga), the processions include devotees who self-flagellate and sometimes even have themselves nailed to crosses as expressions of penance or in fulfilment of a vow accomplished in thanksgiving or exchange for a granted request or prayer. After three o’clock in the afternoon of Good Friday (the time at which Jesus is traditionally believed to have died), noise is discouraged, bathing is proscribed and the faithful are urged to keep a solemn and prayerful disposition. Towards late afternoon and evening there is the procession of the dead Christ.(similar to the funeral procession of Eva Peron the first lady of Argentina)
The figure of the corpse of Jesus is taken in solemn procession and borne on a decorated hearse, after which it is venerated by the faithful. Some even accord the image with the proper funeral rites such as laying the body in state or, in some instances, by smoking the seated corpse of Jesus over a fire in accordance with local, pre-hispanic funerary customs. Such a procession may involve a various number of other saints, and tradition dictates that the last image in the line is the Sorrowful Virgin.
Black Saturday
Black Saturday is traditionally observed with silence and solemnity. Preparations are made for the Easter Vigil to be celebrated that evening.
Holy Week & Easter Sunday
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.

Good Friday in the Philippines

wedding venue — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:46:43 +0000

Good Friday is both a religious occasion and a public holiday in the Philippines, where most people follow the Christian faith. It occurs two days before Easter Sunday.
Good Friday is a part of the religious holiday week in the lead up to Easter Sunday in the Philippines. This is the time when many Filipinos refrain from engaging in worldly activities such as listening to loud music or drinking alcohol. Most Catholics refrain from eating meat during this day and engage in fasting and prayer.
Many people also attend church services and take part in the Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ or the Station of the Cross. The Station of The Cross depicts the last hours of the Passion of Jesus, and the Filipinos use these stations to meditate on Jesus’ sufferings. Some men in different localities in the Philippines re-enact the penance of Jesus Christ by going as far as crucifying themselves on the cross.
Masses (church services) are also held in the church before 3pm (or 15:00) local time since this symbolizes the time that Jesus Christ died on the cross. Once the clock strikes 3pm (15:00), people observe this moment in silence and solemnity. Good Friday is a time when people take part in a form of penance to repent from their sins. Some Filipinos spend time at the beach during the holiday.
Public Life
Government offices, schools and most major establishments such as shopping malls are closed on Good Friday. Holiday destinations such as beaches and hotels are busy with tourists and travelers. public transport is reduced so those wishing to travel will need to plan ahead of time.
Background
The Philippines used to be a pagan country, in which people believed in spirits. When the Spanish came to spread Christianity during the 15th century, many Filipinos were converted to Christianity. The Spaniards made a show of having processions and mass celebrations to entice Filipinos to embrace Christianity. This marked the origins of the Good Friday observance in the Philippines.

Symbols
Good Friday is symbolized by the cross, as it commemorates the belief that Jesus Christ suffered and sacrificed his own life to save humanity.

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

wedding venue — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:45:44 +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.
