summer leg three - lucena and luban, quezon province


Honestly, i am not too keen on the pahiyas festival in the province of Quezon, although we have relatives in my mother's side in the area that we could go to. This the is the first time if my memory serves me right that I personally got off the did the "little stop over" that we were just doing during the times that we were going to my mothers home town in bicol.

My mom didnt actually promised that we can go to alot of places since she spent her highschool years in lucena city and she said the place is a lot modern now. She also warned me before i leave that the houses are no longer decorated since the actual festival fell on a saturday and we will be arriving at saturday midnight. According to the old ritual, when the patron passes the street, the entire decorations should be removed without leaving anything behind.
Here are the few houses that won the decorating festival that was preserved probably for until sunday for the late visitors to see.
