00:00The fluvial procession for the Our Lady of Peña Francia is now being prepared for tomorrow.
00:05From different parts of the country, the devotees from Pahalik in Berhen are arriving.
00:10The witness is Oscar Oida.
00:16It's still early in the morning, and the devotees from Pahalik of Our Lady of Peña Francia have already arrived
00:20here at St. John the Evangelist Metropolitan Cathedral in Naga City.
00:25Many have come from faraway places to pray and share their stories about Our Lady of Peña Francia.
00:33I had cancer in 1986-87.
00:38Every time we would put flowers on her feet, I would whisper to her,
00:43let me have an extension, I still have a long life ahead of me.
00:48Many are selling memorabilia, rosaries, t-shirts, and other images of the Our Lady.
00:56The Commission on Liturgy of the Archdiocese of Caceres in Bicol Region
01:01will hold a mass in front of the Quadricentennial Arch in front of the Cathedral tomorrow before the fluvial procession.
01:09The celebration is extra special because it also celebrates the 100th canonical celebration of Peña Francia.
01:17Canonical coronation is a special recognition given by Rome.
01:21Usually, there are two requirements, antiquity and miracles.
01:25Antiquity because it should have passed the test of time.
01:28And in 1920, when the petition was made for canonical coronation, the devotion was already more than 200 years old.
01:37The fluvial procession is expected to start at 1 p.m. tomorrow.
01:42It is not the same every year because it depends on the water level in the Naga River.
01:49If the water level is too high, the peak of the high tide, we will not be able to pass below the Colgante and Panganiban rivers.
01:58If the water level is too low, the pagoda will be destroyed.
02:03It will not advance.
02:04So, we observe the tide in between.
02:09From the cathedral, the pagoda will ride the Our Lady of Peña Francia
02:13to cross the Naga River back to the Basilica Wharf or Landingan.
02:19For those who will jump into the river during the procession,
02:23in the belief that the river is blessed when the Our Lady of Peña Francia is crossing,
02:28the church has a different call.
02:31She is our mother and we reign her.
02:35The river is what she is crossing.
02:37We should take care of the river.
02:43We must make sure that the river will not be polluted
02:46because it is the river we dedicate to our Blessed Mother.
02:50For GMA Integrated News, I am Oscar Oidang, your witness.
