Cebuano's strong faith in the Sto. Niño

- The Ear -
January 19, 2010 | 12:00am

MILLIONS. During Saturday’s Sto. Niño procession, millions of devotees showed up to join in the annual religious procession. The rain did not stop them. They simply armed themselves with umbrella, jackets, hats and what-have-yous. A Cebuano balikbayan and a devotee of the Sto. Niño joined the procession after more than 10 years out of the country.

MOVED. This balikbayan said he was moved to tears when he saw the millions of devotees who braved the rain. He said, “Bilib gyud ko sa faith sa mga Cebuano. Bisan ga-ulan, ni procession gyud. Pila gud to ka oras ang lakaw sa ulan. Ang mga tawo nabasa, gikapoy pero malipayon.”
