CRUCIFICTION ANYONE?

Just back from the "Crucifiction Festival" north of Manila. Great fun for the whole family. Watch people get nailed to crosses while eating your ice cream and buying "Sponge Bob" balloons. Really.

WANT TO VOLUNTEER TO BE CRUCIFIED? LINE UP.

Yep, they really nail them to crosses on Good Friday in San Fernando Pampagna. Their is also a parade of men doing some self flagellation. If you want to you can stop at places where other people will swat you, whip you or brush your back with a broken glass brush (see photos!) Thousands of spectators watch and eat ice cream and buy souvenir Spongebob SquarePants balloons. Every word is true.
