"GASANG-GASANG FESTIVAL 2008"

"GASANG-GASANG EASTER FESTIVAL" in Gasan stole the thunder the whole day of Easter 2008 in Marinduque. All of Marinduque trooped to town's Guingona Park to witness the six-year old festival. The mammoth crowd that came drove Mayor Vicky Lim to quip: "This huge crowd is a clear expression that the Gasenos and the many visitors who have come want this festival to continue!"

The festival is a mix of 'Sinulog' inspired street dancing and 'Moriones' where participants in 'samaritana' costumes and 'moriones' costumes dance in jubilation as they shout "Viva El Kristo!" for the Risen Christ. (More Photos)
