SUBSCRIBECovering the La Naval canonical coronation centenary
Covering the centennial of the canonical coronation of the Nuestra Senora del Rosario La Naval de Manila at the Sto. Domingo Chuch in Quezon City for the coronation reenactment last 4 October and then the procession last Sunday is overwhelming. Overwhelming in a sense that it is quite tiresome and draining especially the procession. Despite having the media ID as official photographer gave me access to off limit places and thus good vantage points to document the action, I was literally exhausted with all the walking that after the activity, my blue shirt was sweat stained.
But being there, experiencing a great milestone and with all the faith and devotion of the people as well as the sacredness of the event, I was also ecstatic and happy. I can say that it was all worth the effort. Seen also at the event was Sidney Snoeck taking photos that I’m sure he will be posting in his blog soon.
I’m preparing a revised slide show of the two events and will be posting it soon. For the meantime, head over to estancabigas.com for a Soundslide presentation that I did for the 4 and 14 October events (reenactment and procession).

Hi Estan,
Thanks for the plug. It was nice to see you back (in action). I love your sound slide presentation! Great to see you back publishing such powerful images! I am jealous of your work!
You really excel in those kind of events!
Not sure when I will post mine… I covered so many events those past weeks that I don’t know what to publish first
Just came back from Bacolod (Masskara)and heading to Bicol to visit my in laws.
