Une célébration humide mais amusant de foiThis year is the 301th year to our beloved patron Nuestra Senora se Penafrancia. Every year we bicolanos, celebrate this activity for thanks for her love and mercy to us. In connection to this celebration our school, Naga City Science High school participated in the trasclacion which was held last September 10, 2011. The procession started at the old Penafranicia Shrine at about 1:00 in the afternoon. Many schools and other religious groups joined the procession.
While the procession is still on-going the sky went dark, and it started to rain hard. We stilled remain calm and continued to pray to “Ina” despite the rain. We were accompanied by our loving teachers who helped us throughout the activity. The procession ended at the Metropolitan Cathedral where a mass will be held after “Ina” and “Divino Rostro” entered. . We were all wet at the time. After all the schools and religious reached the cathedral grounds, the statue of Ina and Divino Rostro were the ones which were brought to the streets and carried by many devotees until it reaches the cathedral.As Ina passes by people were raising their white handkerchiefs and started shouting VIVA LA VIRGEN. As the Virgin of Penafrancia passed by us, I whispered my own prayer. The turnover of Ina to the military was held near the E-mall. Many devotees who were bare footed were very eager to touch the image of our patron. As “INA” and “Divino Rostro” reached the Cathedral Grounds the mass started.
The people were lesser this year than last year because last year was the 300th year of our faith and devotion to her. The mass lasted about one and a half hour. As the event finished the people including some teachers and students of Naga City Science High school eagerly cleaned the streets. 
With this gathering I can say that we bicolanos are really united and loving not just to ourselves and family but also to our environment and to God.
