Penafrancia Festival 2013 Around the World

Maogmang hilingon na ang mga kapwa ta Nagueno asin Bicolano nagkakasararao sa pagselebrar kang kapistahan ni Ina. Dawa harayo man sinda sa syudad nin Naga, dayupot man giraray ang pagkamoot kang kada sarong Bicolano para ki Ina. Sa paghiling hiling sa Facebook posts kang mga kapwa ta Nagueno asin Bicolano, samuyang nakalap ang mga selebrasyon hali sa San Diego California, Brooklyn New York, Winnipeg, Manitoba - Canada, asin Auckland New Zeland.

Truly, Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia is the Patroness of the whole Bicolandia. There's no contest as to who is most or least, there's no rich nor poor but we all have the same faith. A one of a kind Bicolano and undying faith thru Ina for the Lord. Faith will always guide and remind us become a better person for others. Our deep devotion to Ina is immeasurable, it is beyond the candles, the flowers, the barefoot voyadors, the penitential processions, and the prayers. These are just beginnings, the rest is up to us. May we continue and share our faith for Ina forever and for always.

Sa gabos po na Bicolano sa buong mundo, ingat po pirmi asin Dios Mabalos sa pagpapadagos kang pagselebrar kang debosyon ta para ki Ina. Mabuhay po kamo! Viva La Virgen!!!

Pasensya na po bako po akong matibay mag surat in Bikol. :)
