Maleldo 2013 - A Cruxifiction Site in Cutod, Pampanga

San Fernando in Pampanga is the most famous site during the holy week season because of the crucifixion reenactment in Cutod, San Fernando , Pampanga.My travel buddies Sally & Eds, decided to visit this famous site in Cutod. We can't able to see the actual crucifixion during that day, but I am fulfilling to visit this site. There are 3 cross at the hill side of the area and feel the burning heat of the sun. We took some photos within the area before going back to Manila, there are some tourist and local taking picture at the holy cross. Some children climbed up the cross to take photo by the tourist (so bad) and I hope you will forgive me for posting of those photos. As per our driver, about 2,000 crowd during the afternoon crucifixion in the cross and a lot of media in the whole day. Maybe, next time I would come early before the actual event. In Barangay Cutod, San Fernando Pampanga is known to be the " Holy Week Crucifixion Capital of the Philippines" to watch and take a part of the annual activities of the province.
