PHILIPPINES - Foreigners Explore Holy Week Procession At Molo Church, Iloilo

Yesterday was good friday and our very first experience of holy week as foreigners at molo church procession in iloilo philippines.
We was warned that most shops will be shut so to buy food in advance and also taxis will be very scarce and tricycles to. These were all very true, iloilo city was a ghost town with only a few jeepneys and the odd few tricycles on the road.
We managed to find a tricycle to molo church were we decided to wait for the procession with all the floats being paraded through the streets. We did not know what would happen because this was our very first experience with any religious festival or celebration.
At around 6pm the procession started with a few prayers in ilongo and then the people walked behind the floats with candles lit along the streets of iloilo. As foreigners this was amazing to see such a huge turn out of people for this religious event and so many being younger people that will keep this tradition alive in the Philippines for many generations to come.
We was speaking to some locals who told us some stories about what the floats represent and the storys behind them, and then in true filipino hospitality they offerd us to try some fruit that are iloilo specialties.
All in all holy week was a really amazing experience and gives such a good insight into the culture of the philippines.

[@redhorse69]

You are the only foreign travel vloggers who are currently in the PH who covered this kind of procession, by the way this kind of procession does not only happen in Iloilo, this kind of procession happens in the entire PH so i don't know why other travel vloggers concentrate themselves on beaches or coffee shops. good job again guys and im starting to like you channel!!

[@CoshanUncharted]

Some people only travel to grow their bragging rights and some travel to grow their mind and hearts. Some may not even know about this procession and some don't want to learn. Everyone is different but we believe when you travel you should learn the culture of the country even if you do not practise the religion because knowledge is power and the more you learn the more you grow. Its respectful to learn people's culture. Especially when tney are celebrating such a huge part of their religion. We hope by posting these videos other travellers too will understand why it's important to immerse yourself in the local culture when travelling

[@jerxcerdz1837]

Ray Anthony Blanco I love these foreigners 😊😊 next time vlog the Valladolid Negros Occidental holyweek

[@dopulentvlog4751]

Ray Anthony Blanco that’s true, I keep watching all travelers in the Philippines and they are the only one cover the Holy Week in The Philippines ❤️

[@bluesnowconeplays5362]

This is what I noticed too, i don't blame them but somewhat I felt a little off when they don't look into our culture. And this vlog is different and I love it. Thank you for respecting and appreciating our culture.

[@khust2993]

I agree.. that's why vlogs about the Philippines bore me a lot and I find them uninteresting because it's always about beaches most of the time, beaches are just a small part of the country. There's more into it and many vloggers do not even bother to feature those.

[@PinoyFX]

Once again, you guys proved that you're really a legit travel Vloggers!!! Hats off to you from VEGAS!!!

[@CoshanUncharted]

Heyyy nfntfx45, i can safely say we are here out of pure love for the country and nothing else, oyr aim is to reach every province and experience as much as we possible can so when the time comes to move to iloilo we know what to expect 😊🇵🇭

the video of the Easter procession reminded me on my childhood days in the Philippines. watching here from usa

Thankyou Marjorie. 💖 The best part of travel is meeting the people of the country its the most real experience you can get.

[@bluesnowconeplays5362]

Yeah conversing with people is so cool. I find it very respectful and kind. Filipinos are naturally kind and humble you can alwats approach and talk to them, but please be extra careful because there are always good and bad in different places so be watchful.

The black Jesus you are seeing is the black Nazarene of which was brought to the Philippines By the Spanish from Mexico originally the statue was white unfortunately the Ship IT was in caught fire on the coast somewhere in the Philippines but miraculuosly the statue survived all black but Never burned, the original one is in the Quiapo church of which many believes to be miraculous.

[@CoshanUncharted]

thats a incredible story, it makes sense then that they will make a black nazarene to symbolize those times many years ago, thank you for teling us

[@kevin080592]

@@CoshanUncharted yes indeed, if you would search the black nazarene, there is actually festival there in manila that commemorates that said event.. I know because I used to live in that part of manila for 13 years and the black nazarene float would always passby in front of our house

That's something for experience in the Phil's really. But be careful and stay safe. There'd be millions of people.

[@deloshexeter2094]

just a correction, black nazarene wasnt caugt on fire . the wood used was actually a dark wood used popularly in acapulco mexico . same wood also used with the Virgin of Antipolo . the wood is known as mesquite wood . also black nazarene is celebrated jan9 (correct me if im mistaken) . lastly, the image of black nazarene in Quiapo, Manila wasnt really the original image brought from Mexico . its actually a replica given to Church of Misica now known as Quiapo Church as a gift .

Hi guys. This catholic procession is already part of our culture & also it is our faith. This tradition was handed to us by the Spaniards, who colonized the Philippines. Holy week is celebrated throughout the Country. We, Filipinos are proud Catholics & the only Catholic Nation in Asia. I love & admire your videos. I'm from that Place. This procession is celebrated in every towns & cities in the Philippines. The black Image of Jesus is called the Black Nazarene. More power to You Both & your Channel. Good luck & God Bless.

It's amazing how dedicated everyone is to their religion. Old and young. So much love and hope. Lovely to see everyone come together. We have learnt a lot this holy week

[@xdemgeo3581]

Elmer, stop using "we" because you do not represent the rest of us. Go figure and die with your own organized religion. This country is in a shithole because of devout and hypocritical Catholics like you. This country is held back in rights and in economic progress because of the influence of your Church. The fuck.

Thereafter all roads will lead to the beaches, malls, parks, cinemas, etc.

[@jmj4267ify]

oh, Indeed ... We can say, I still have witnessed the event, "vicariously", through your camera lens, which is Great coz I personally couldn't make it to the venue myself, given my current situation ... and thinking that the previous generations didn't even have this internet privilege of someone sharing travel vlogs for them ... THANKS! ... though, regarding most of the areas of Iloilo, we are still pretty 3rd World ... Ongoing developments are underway, and many cozy-looking real estates are popping up mostly in the "Pavia" town area which is soon to become a city of its own.

[@CoshanUncharted]

its crazy what the internet has given us in opportunities right, it is our honor to do what we do and we will always remain a channel for the people 😊. What is your view on jaro? we have a condo in a sub division there to view on monday 😮 is it a good area for us do you think? we are simple living people like filipinos we are not your typical foreigner

[@jmj4267ify]

Jaro, as I've known, is one of the districts of iloilo that's got the most historical landmarks, such as ancestral houses, old churches, and most especially one of the most popular 'religious festivals' .. So you got a lot more to explore there compared to other areas of the city ... Subdivisions, for me, are one of the safest places to live in the Philippines coz the tenants living within the village neighborhoods are not really impoverished, and so, there's much less risk of snatching and other minor crimes that usually happens on shanty areas ... I myself are now living in a subdivision and it's quite peaceful here ... When I used to visit our relatives and stay in their house in a different subdivision, it's just as peaceful ... So, yeah, subdivisions are generally fine places to live in for people on a budget.

[@jmj4267ify]

The highlight traditional event in Jaro is the "Jaro Fiesta" or "The Feast of Our Lady of Candles" ... Observed during the 2nd of February .... Although, funnily, during my childhood, my family only used to go there at the Jaro Plaza Fiesta for the "Carnival Faire" with all its rides and food-market stalls ..

Thank you bernardo, i hope we did a good job because we did not know what was going to happen really so this was a "off the cuff" vlog really. What impressed us was how many young people there was in the procession to carry the tradition on

[@itsmechow6924]

Wow! It surprises me on how respectful you guys are towards other people. Normally, bloggers just parade in some places where its supposed to be sacred but, you guys actually didn't! I'm glad you had a wonderful time visiting the Philippines! Keep up the good work! Oh btw, in this part: 8:50 we actually portrayed Jesus as black because there's this figure of Jesus carrying a cross in Quiapo City in Manila where its said to have been caught in the fire hence the black color, but miraculously, it survived unscathed so people show devotion to the figure now which we call the "Black Nazarene". Replicas of these are commonly found within procession as a way to show devotion to the Black Nazarene. Hope this helped you!

[@nonpareil33]

During Holy Week, most of the people in the community actively participate in the church activities. The dark-skinned life-size statue of the kneeling Jesus in the procession is a replica of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo Church, Manila, and considered by many devotees to be miraculous. The original statue that is in Quiapo Church was carved from dark wood and believed charred by a fire while aboard the spanish ship that brought it from Mexico hence, its dark color.

[@CoshanUncharted]

its very true because iloilo city was a ghost town yesterday all day. It was really facinating to see real filipino culture and the hand made statues and with you guys the viewers explaining to us what each part means. We really do value each and every one of you for your kindness and help with explaining

[@youredxspanktube]

Wow this is a different view of the usual vlogs in the Philippines! Enjoy you two!

[@CoshanUncharted]

hey scuba, yep it sure was hehe we decided to show real filipino culture during holy week with the procession. We hope to pilgrimage again next year

[@ericesmas1161]

The image of the black nazarene was a devotion among Filipino. The wood used to carve the image was naturally black. It had nothing to do with color or origin

[@CoshanUncharted]

thank you for your informtion. we have never seen this before the procession.

[@densyowalks575]

PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME . . . why is there 2 dislikes in this awesome video ? please give me a reason, enlighten me please . . . i find this video very fascinating and culturaly incline to Filipino tradition/culture (include the almost zero cars on the road) . what interest me the most is that you guys are the only KZbinrs who actually filmed this event . so i give this video the 600th like . i totally love this . just a little note thou, whenever someone ask for some coins, i recommend not to give a penny or bill . i would rather suggest giving them atleast a food or drink (although its still on your own discretion) . also, you would say your joking about aeta thing @9.19 . but its a red flag if you asked me . luckily you pulled yourself back positively . other than that, i find you guys so helpful and kind to others . 💜💜💜 for you both . . . I'll definitely recommend this channel to my other friends because you deserve more than 100k subs . please continue promoting the Philippines and also the unique spots that hasnt been seen by other vloggers . i wish the best and good luck . . . 💚💙💘

[@CoshanUncharted]

heyy delosh, 1 thing we can garentee and promise you right now is that we will always continue to find the hidden quiet places vloggers do not go to or that are to hard for them to get to. We are making this our "thing" that separates us from other channels. as for the dislikes i have no idea why anybody would dislike a part of ph tradition unless they are not from filipinos which is possible, either way we are glad to have covered holy week and hope we made you proud

[@frigidtsunami]

the Black Nazarene 8:50. Quiapo Church in Manila has the most celebrated one in the country. May want to visit if you ever go back to Manila. The Feast of the Black Nazarene happens i believe January 9, with crazy amount of people trying to touch the Black Nazarene as it says it heals.

[@mjfab74]

not to mention they have to be barefooted if you're going with the procession.

[@CoshanUncharted]

oooo ok so the biggest procession is in manila? that would be really really cool to see that perhaps next year we will try. We did feel like we did not want to go into the church for the service because we are not so religious and did not want to intrude on peoples faith with us and a camera but perhaps 1 day when or if we feel like we can we just may go in for the church mass before the procession

[@murilocruz7752]

Fantastic that you covered this.

Glad it was useful to so many ofws and everyone enjoys watching 😍

im from Molo, Iloilo City and growing up i used to join this procession. Its a rewarding feeling to walk around the district behind this floats representing the station of the cross. Its way magical especially when its dark, youll see the beauty of the floats and the sea of candles. But lately im not joining the procession coz of work. hope you enjoyed your experience here in Molo!

[@minametiorova1901]

The best way to experience a culture is to immerse yourself in it. Love how you took part in the procession. There's not a lot of those in Manila anymore but is still observed in some areas during the holy week. If you're still here in May, the next countrywide religious festival is Flores de Mayo (flowers of May) and the Santacruzan both of which are held in honor of the Virgin Mary.

[@CoshanUncharted]

Ah okay thanks for the heads up. Where in the Philippines will this be? I don't know where we will be in May but I think mindoro 🤔

Black Jesus is also called Black Nazarene according to wiki The Black Nazarene was carved by an unknown Mexican from a dark wood in the 16th century in Mexico and then transported to the Philippines in 1606..........more over its believe to be miraculous and so the devotion is so great....
