HAPPY TRIP 4: Bohol
Nagsalubong kilay ko in exasperation when I found the door to BQ Mall in Tagbilaran blocked by people – all standing motionless – and I couldn’t get in. I was in a hurry because I was supposed to meet a friend and I was running late.
I was bewildered why people were standing still. They were not talking. They were not moving. I was getting more impatient every second that passed and they wouldn’t let me through.
And then I heard the Church bells ringing and realized it was six o’clock in the evening.
Angelus.
It is truly heartening to note that Bol-anons still pretty much retain traditional practices and beliefs despite the onslaught of modernism and tourism.

nice.. here in davao, lahat ng tao humihinto pati na rin ang mga jeep. Nuon lang iyon.. *sigh*
It's nice to know that the old tradition of stopping for a while to pray the angelus still retains.
nice blog. =)
salamat ryan! good to see you here. dugay na pod ko nga wa ga-update sa ako blog. na-busy man gud.
that tradition still exists in cebu. even in our school's hospital, all the staff and patients stop every 6am or 6pm to pray the angelus.
