Welcome! Treasures of Ilocandia and the World is a culture and travel blog. Edwin Antonio features the Iloko culture, places, traditions of the Philippines and showcases festivals and other celebrations of life of the country and the rest of the world.
Last Tuesday, I saw people preparing and fixing altars at different points in Laoag City. I asked what was that all about and they said that it is the Estacion General. I took my camera and documented this event.
Estation General is usually held during the Holy Tuesday. It is the general station of the cross. It has 14 stations.
A mass is celebrated first at the church and the people go on a procession with the different images passing from first station to the last station. They recite a prayer at each station and then move around until they get back to the church. I saw many people who joined this event of the holy week and it was my very first time.
