Barangay Hulong Duhat's turn to fiesta

It was Hulong Duhat's turn to fiesta yesterday.

I was able to to visit the place only this afternoon -- the buntings ("banderitas") were still up, so there was still a bit of the fiesta feeling.  An improvised stage was still set up, too. 

Fiesta activities included a pagoda (fluvial procession) on the Malabon River at 10:00am yesterday.  A "sagalahan" (procession of models) was also held on Saturday evening.  It would have been nice to watch the pagoda.  After watching my first-ever pagoda last December at the Barangay Concepcion fiesta, I suddenly feel like I've been missing out on something special all these years that I've been a Malabon resident.  So now I want to watch more pagodas!


BARANGAY HULONG DUHAT
Feast of Exaltation of the Holy Cross

Exaltation of the Holy Cross Parish Church on Gervacio Street, Barangay Hulong Duhat.  I was told that Bishop Deogracias Iniguez was to celebrate Mass at the chapel at 5:30pm yesterday.
