Moriones Festival 2012 Photos in Sta. Cruz Marinduque

Sta. Cruz is a neighboring province's version of Moriones Festival. Meron din silang version nito! This year, aside from the usual tradition,  there was a “Battle of Morions”. This was conceptualized last 2011, by now Congressman Lord Allan Velasco. For costumes, participants this year have been encouraged to incorporate local materials that are commonly used or are unique to their localities. It has been noted that while many participants still use wooden masks, masks made of papier-mache are extensively used for the Battle of Morions competition.
