Giwang-giwang

During Good Friday

Giwang-giwang is a unique Good Friday procession tradition held in the town proper of Binangonan, Rizal. It features a play reenacting the funeral of Jesus Christ. Due to the massive influx of devotees trying to touch the Sepulkro (sepulcher) for blessings or amulets, the carriage sways heavily from side to side, giving the festival its name "Giwang-giwang," which translates to swaying or rocking.
