"Legion" a new group organized in Boac this year came in strong with a batallion of morion men and kids. They were some of the most visible morions on the streets of Boac throughout the Lenten week even as they visited other towns also for 'visita iglesia'. At the covered court in Boac was installed their head- quarters where an enlarged photo of the St. Longinus statue at St. Peter's Basilica greeted visitors. All their morions were clad in similar Roman centurion attire, easily recognizable with their red capes. "We are the champions my friend..." one of them started to sing when declared the grand prize winners in the 1st Battle of Morions. And with that, the participating kids may have something to look forward to next year, and the year after that, and many years after that. A new generation of morions borne by the Battle of Morions!
