Car Rental at 'Manila - Airport'

No less remarkable event in the festival calendar of the Philippines is Giant Lantern Festival, which is held in the vicinity of Manila, the city of San Fernando. In the pre-Christmas period, the central streets of the city are decorated with thousands of huge colourful lights (the festival begins in mid-December and ends early next month). These amazing bulbs are what thousands of people who want to see in San Fernando before Christmas. There are also unique bulbs among them, not similar to those that were presented last year, but there is a place for traditional light bulbs — for example, the star of Bethlehem. There were presented lights at the festivals, which were the largest in the world and were subsequently attributed to the Guinness Book of records.

Another religious event is widely celebrated here - namely Holy week, usually celebrated in mid-April. However, it is worth noting that the holiday is not such in the broadest sense of the word, and for many Europeans, it may seem blasphemous at all (well, for others, the celebration is the purpose of the tourist route). At this time, the festival participants follow the path of Jesus Christ to the place of his execution — Calvary. There is an initiate depicting Christ at the head of the procession, who carries a massive crucifix with a symbolic image of his execution. In honour of the Christ who died for the sins of people, hundreds of Filipinos beat themselves with a whip — it is believed that suffering can cleanse your soul. Moreover, some of the participants are trying to increase the pain, pouring salt on the open wound.
