The next festival pitstop: Higantes Festival

Angono’s joyous fiesta in honor of San Clemente whose image, resplendent in papal investment, is borne by male devotees during a procession accompanied by parehadoras devotees dressed in colorful local costumes, wooden shoes and carrying boat paddles and higantes, giant papier mache effigies. The street event culminates in fluvial procession in Laguna de Bay amidst revelry that continues until the image is brought back to its sanctuary.
