Let’s forget about fashyen for a bit and focus our attention to Him.
During the Lenten Season it has been a family tradition to follow activities made specifically for this time of year. For instance, on Maundy Thursday we are accustomed to doing the Visita Iglesia, a Spanish tradition where we visit 14 Christian Churches and do the Stations of the Cross.
For this year, we were only able to visit two cuz we ran out of time since the second Church we visited was kind of far from the metro.
We first went to San Roque Parish Church in Pasay City. As much as possible I try to pass by that Church every chance I get cuz that’s where I grew up and studied during my pre-school years. I wasn’t able to take a photo though.
Second stop was at the Regina Rosarii Institute of Contemplation in Asia (Regina RICA), located at Sitio Aguho Sampaloc, Tanay. Regardless of how far the place may be, just the sight of Mother Regina standing on top of the hill waiting for us definitely made me feel like I’ve done a great thing. Going up that hill was tiresome, but the view on top will definitely made up for it.
On me: Rompers, People are People || Cardigan, The Ramp, Crossings || Bag, Louis Vuitton || Watch, Bvlgari || Aviators, thrifted || Espadrilles, vintage
Lots of people waiting at the entrance
Stations of the Cross
And there She is :)
Long way up
Majestic view from the top

For five years now, it has been one of my traditions to attend the Kalbaryo Procession with B and his family every Good Friday.
During the Kalbaryo, locals in Makati show their artistic side by creating a tableau of the 14 Stations of the Cross. Here, people would stay up all night reading/singing the Pasyon, praying the rosary, and simply have fun with their neighbors. Each Kalbaryo is unique because it depicts the suffering and pain that Jesus had suffered before and after He was crucified.
The procession starts at exactly 6p. Here, representatives from each Kalbaryo are given a cross to carry and parade around Makati. Church ministers see to it that we stop and pass by each Kalbaryo for a little blessing and prayer. It’s non-stop procession for 3 hours, which I have now come to love and look forward to. I highly suggest that you guys should come visit and join the procession (plus concert) next year. It truly is a life-changing experience.
Some photos from the Kalbaryo:
