A SHORT DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE PADUL-ONG FESTIVAL IN BORONGAN CITY EASTERN SAMAR

In Eastern Samar Borongan City, the celebration of the Virgin Mary's birthday, also known as the Feast of the Nativity of Mary, holds significant meaning for the Filipino Catholic community. It is typically observed on September 8th.

The Padul-ong Festival is the province’s way to pay homage to its Patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary. The capital city of the province, pronounced as “bo-rong-gan”, was derived from the Waray-waray word “borong” which means “fog. The festival commemorates the day they received the image. It depicts a mythical presentation on how the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary was inexplicably transported to Borongan City all the way from Portugal. The festival also illustrates the legend of a mysterious “Lady in White” who allegedly visits the Hamorawan Spring regularly.

The image is then paraded through the town going to Borongan Cathedral. At the Borongan City plaza, you can watch the re-enactment of the transportation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It tells the town’s old legend on how the image was brought to the Philippines. Celebrate with the Boronganons, join the procession and be amazed at the colorful costumes of the performers while enjoying the lively beat of the drums during the street dancing parade.

As you can see the colorful design captured at the top of the city has a great meaning,meaning that this city is progress and proceed for the better life line of the new generation.

ALL ABOUT MYSELF 🫶

what's up guy's! Welcome to my blog let me share to you a short description about myself. I am Gellian, 18 years old from Talisay 2 Dapdap Dolores Eastern Samar but you can call me gell for short. I'm a student here in Eastern Samar State University Borongan City (main campus) taking the course of Bachelor of Arts and Communication.

To tell you more about myself, I am the breadwinner of our family just to be honest with you being a breadwinner is not easy, and that is true!. Anyways so much for that, let's go on to the hobbies and interests that I have, so my passion revolves around singing, dancing, reading wattpad, travelling, and drunking of course HAHAHAH but even if I'm being like this I experience and enjoyed a lot of things in real life.

FRIENDS 🫶

Having a loving family and all is okay but sometimes it comes to our mind that we really need to have or to develop our communication through having a friend. When we say "best friend" that is someone who is there for you during good and bad times. A friend that will support your wants, a friend that understand your feelings, a friends that give you advice when you feel hurt by someone. All of us wanted to have a bestfriend and just like me, I'm so lucky to have a bestfriend like them. My cousin and sister is a very special person for me that I prefer over everyone else's. Because of our closeness I'm too comfortable and I can easily share my thoughts and feelings to them. Whenever I am in need of something or seek help, they're always there for me, so I admire them and we actually respect each other so that we can understand what we want. Our friendship called it "TRIO LOVERS" because even if sometimes we're fighting they aren't still bestfriend and nobody can ruin our friendship.

HOMETOWN 🫶

DOLORES (EASTERN SAMAR) was born in 1650, when some inhabitants of Bacod (or Bacor) established what eventually became a tiny village nestling about a kilometer from the mouth of Dolores (formerly known as Bacod) river. This village was named Dolores (in English, the Spanish word dolores means sorrows) to signify the sorrows and sufferings Bacodnons experienced on account of their armed participation in the Sumuroy Rebellion in 1649. To be sure, its beginnings is intertwined with the history of three villages: Bacod, Jubasan, and Paric. This calls for a concise explanation.

Bacod and the Origins of Dolores. Located about two kilometers from the mouth of Dolores river, Bacod was a bungto (large village) in existence before the Spaniards came to the area in 1565. The Jesuits stationed in Palapag evangelized it in 1602. In 1649, together with the bungto of Jubasan (see below), the village of Bacod was suppressed and consolidated with that of Tubig (now Taft) as a consequence of Agustin Sumuroy's rebellion that started in Palapag, in which Bacodnons were involved. On account of this suppression, some residents went near the mouth of the river to put up a cluster of houses that eventually became the small village (rancheria) of Dolores. That is how Dolores was born in 1650. Other Bacodnons transferred to the village of Carolina, about a kilometer west of Bacod. It may be noted that the bungto of Bacod was later eroded by floods. Which is why, it reverted to the status of a visita (see below). By 1895, its population was greatly reduced; it had only 20 villagers, 9 male and 11 female. The central part of the bungto of Bacod was completely submerged in Dolores river in the 1930s, though the remains of the stone church and the stone convento could be easily located. The abandoned portion of the bungto that remained was renamed Binungtoan by Doloresnons.

In my hometown has a lot of tourist's spot that you can also visit and enjoyed together with your love'ones, friends, and families. Just like the two pictures below that is called Linao Island one of the beautiful beach that you can see located at Tikling Island Dolores Eastern Samar.
