I was born and raised in a simple and small barrio located in
San Pedro, Laguna... San Roque. My Lola (who was long gone for
several years now) still has her house there where my mother now lives. I was
raised as a devout Catholic and although I had my share of life's hardships, I
have remained a faithful Catholic. Every year we celebrate the feast of San
Roque and as a family custom, my mother prepares different types of dishes to
serve to people who come and visit to celebrate the Feast of san Roque with our
family. This festivity has been an ongoing tradition so I am no longer new to
the diverse practices that people showcase during the event.
Our Patron Saint "San
Roque"
This year is quite different... It was a failure... I felt
sorry as a Catholic that I had to bear witness to this disappointment... I just
wished that these mindless people didn't have to show how they have lambasted
the entire Catholic sector...
See how you will react to these photos... (Taken during the procession)
I
would like to emphasize that I am not blogging these pictures for any other
reason except for the fact that I am calling on the people of San Roque, San
Pedro, Laguna to respect other Catholics and NOT
May
the Good Lord see you and give what is due you, in time...
