EXTOLLING THE STO. NIÑO

– Across the archipelago, devotees find their own ways to venerate the Sto. Niño as could be seen in these photos taken yesterday where a fluvial parade along the Mactan Channel in Cebu (top photo) was held in honor of the Sto. Niño de Cebu and the Patroness of Cebu, the Our Lady of Guadalupe, and the staging of the Lakbayaw Festival in Manila (right) that had this driver straining under the weight of pedaling a pedicab-full of images of the Child Jesus.
