Feast of San Clemente/ Higantes Festival

The artist town of Angono celebrates the feast of its patron, San Clemente, with flourish. In a street procession, the sacred image is carried out from its shrine, borne on the shoulders of male devotees, followed by the "Parehadoras" (paddle-carrying devotees clad in traditional Tagalog costumes) and "Higantes" (giant papermache figures). A fluvial procession along Laguna de Bay follows, after which, San Clemente is brought back to the parish church.
