Moriones Festival

The festival takes place in Marinduque during Holy Week and culminates in the re-enactment of the beheading of Longinus. Entire towns are converted into huge stages as the story of Longinus unfolds.

"Morion" means "mask" refer to the colorfully garbed and masked soldiers and centurions during Christ's Passion, a part of Roman armor which covers the face. Morion serves as the focal point of the Moriones festival and celebrations.

The festival is a long week celebration and characterized by colorful roman costumes, painted masks and helmets, and brightly-colored tunics.

 

Thou the trip were a bit sickening but the experience was all worth it. I’ll definitely be back to explore more with this beautiful island. I guess true to its description the heart of the Philippines!

I have so much to be thankful with this vacation. To Ray for the wonderful and almost like hotel room I stayed and best of all its free and to Christine my travel buddy  for the funny segment and photography.

Love you guys and we still have alot of  Philippines festivals to watch!


Life is good!

    I can tell it was full of action and the masks were intimidating but I was fine as long as you were in the picture with them.
    Keep the good stuff coming and have a great rest of the week.

Single...love!

I have spent a significant portion of my life watching sappy romantic movies with ideal couple with guaranteed happy ending is such magical thou expected. I know this is terrible but there is something about them that just seem slightly attainable and relatable to our own life. Not all of us have been assigned a Mcdreamy in this lifetime. Yes! I still have a huge crush with Derek Christopher Shepher of Grey's Anatomy. I’m sorry guys. So you’re single because you’re single. It’s not because you weird, fat or you dress like out of nowhere or it’s not because you did not promptly follow the love chain letter instructions that you have to send it to 20 people close to you. You’re not single because your standards are way too high. It’s good to have standard at least you know what you like.  You’re not single because you did not learn enough from your past relationship or go out on a Friday night after work and have a bottle of beers with your guy office mates instead you ...
