Alay Lakad 2014 at Antipolo

Tado: "Erning! Ihanda mo ang bisikleta. Mag-iikot tayo.
Erning: "Tama!"


My mission for today is to find out if there are still people who seriously celebrate Holy week. Because in this day and age, I think more and more people no longer  believe in the idea of a god.

But apparently, many people still do.


Station of the Cross on the way to Saint Francis Xavier Parish Church.


As we were going up Antipolo, I noticed this pilgrim was walking barefooted.  I looked at my watch. It was 5:40 in the afternoon.  If he started walking three hours ago, I could imagine how hot the concrete road was.

I did notice that his ankles had cracks and were burned.


Finally reached that top after one and a half hour ride from Pateros.  I sat down for a short prayer.

The downhill ride was a lot faster.  We were able to reach home in less than an hour.
