MANILA, Philippines — The Aglipayans of Barangay Napindan in Taguig City celebrate this Sunday the feast of Santo Niño, an event marked every last Sunday of January.

One of the highlights of the feast will be a procession in the afternoon in which the images of the Sto. Niño are dressed in various costumes as fireman, policeman, farmer, and fisherman.

Ranging from plastic to quality works of art, devotees merrily parade their Niños.

Most of the children who join the procession are garbed in red attire.

They also carry red balloons as they dance and chant “Viva Sto. Niño” to the beat of drums Atiatihan style.
