Viva Sto.nino!!!

Pit Senor! Viva Sto. Nino! The moment of the year where the people of Tondo and different parts of the Philippines celebrate the joyful feast day of our most dearest Sto. Nino! It happens every 3rd Sunday of January. The fiesta this year was a little different from the past years, well its because of the non existence of the "chizmackers" who always lead the games for kids at our street because of the incident that they got involved. There are only few visitors who visited Tondo this year but it was still a joyous celebration for all the residents of Tondo. The day before the official feast day began, It was Saturday morning while I was busy attending to our house chores I heard people screaming Imelda Marcos' name, When I saw it for myself I got struck by her radiant beauty and flawless skin, her pink Filipiniana gown really fit her well as she walks towards to her car. I took a photo of her while she was on her car which I promise last time to post and this is it Imelda Marcos, our former and most beautiful first lady ever! (I'm a fan of strong women!) After all the chores are done I finally had time for myself and prepared to watch the long procession on the afternoon. The procession started at exactly 4 o'clock in the afternoon and ended before the clock ticks 9 of the evening. Imagine how long this procession was.It was not boring at all especially when you see cute guys dancing lol! Here are some of the pictures I took during the procession so you can relate on what I'm saying right now This is what I'm talking about..the cute boys dancing there way during the procession "Hiling mo, isayaw kay Sto.nino" The solemnity of the procession was found in between the parade where the sacristans are escorting the authentic image of our dearest Senor Sto.nino together with our Mayor Alfredo lim and his grandson Nino Dela cruz The rest of the parade continued through out the whole afternoon up to the evening with so much fun from the participants with their performance and costumes and full of celebration for our dear Sto. Nino. here are the other happenings during the parade These are the happenings during the day before our fiesta here in Tondo!! It was nice and less riots and troubles happened!!!
