we live in a muslim country for 15years and this was my family,my children first time to experienced holy week in philippines and it feels soooo sooo good to freely celebrate your faith,going to church every sunday w/o worrying you might offend other people or that you might be breaking the law just because of your faith.... Philippines is so different from other southeast asian countries not luxurious like the rest but i think its the freedom or idk 😅
As a Roman Catholic, Holy Week is simply staying at home, go to Church for scheduled confession, attend mass on Sundays. Some would visit several Churches as a tradition and personal penitentiary activity. It is really a time of sacrifice, reflection and strengthening relationship with God, and, simply be with one’s family at home. No going out to work or do business, if possible. Fasting is part of the sacrifice for abled Adults.
As a catholic country the Philippines is, the Holy Week is as big as the Christmas season. The only difference is that people are going to the provinces to celebrate it or or spend it in a beach., I used to be like this people who will spend it in the beach but as you age a little you would rather stay at home. I love being at home during this special days. In fact my family went home to our province in Bicol and I was the only one left here in manila.
Holy week is "Big" for catholic pero mga nasa beach or travel kesa nasa church 😅 therefore, they don't celebrate holy week but they took advantage to travel and enjoy in beaches.
@@GoQuizHive our time today is not the same in the past.And just because they are in the beach they do not commemorate the time when Jesus suffered in the cross.this is just a commenoration of those times. Nothings wrong with that as long as you know in your heart that you remember Jesus and the Lord during holy week it is okay.
@@GoQuizHive you made me remember a sermon from a priest before regarding this. to paraphrase what he said... "while we fast and contemplate this holiday, the devils are playing in the beach"
During Holy Week, being one of the longest non-working holiday here in the Philippines, most of the people go home to their provinces to be with families or just go out of town or the country to enjoy the long vacation or just stay home. Usually Thursdays and Fridays are when most shops are closed but come Saturday everything will come back to life. But there are some restaurants especially those opened 24 hours remains open even during the Holy Week and drug stores and food deliveries. If you want to see activities during the Holy week then go to churches. Then the parade you mentioned are not called parade but rather processions. The Lenten activities are mostly done in provinces like Pampanga such as the Cenakulo or the Moriones in the province of Marinduque. Cenakulos are usually done in smaller barangays or homes which you cant find in high-end areas such as BGC or Makati. Happy Resurrection Day. Christ has risen!
Manila is very quiet during Holy Week especially on Good Friday. The majority go out of town either to their provinces for a short vacation or to popular beach resorts which have been fully booked for Holy Week. Others prefer the colder weather in Tagytay or Baguio. Some go out of the country for short vacations in Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong, Japan, etc. By Easter Sunday, they start coming back to Manila and this creates terrible traffic jams on the highways leading to the capital.
Back in the 90s holy week in the Philippines is very quiet. Not even a single store was opened. We were not allowed to play and make some noises. As time passes by and technology progreses, it is somehow not so silent or boring I might say. However, in the metro it would seem a ghost town as majority of the people would go to their provinces to observe the solemnity of holy week. Some would go Visita Iglesia (during Maundy Thursday wherein they would visit 7 churches to offer prayers). Then Holy Friday is a complete silence, stay at home, no tv or phone (as per my family tradition) is obserbed. It is one way to rejuvenate and to give thanks to our Lord. In my province which is Pampanga, we still have this penitence where volunteered men would heavy crosses on their backs or would have their backs bladed then beaten by themselves until they bleed as a show of sacrifice
Chaos start again on Sunday when everybody goes back to the metro in time for work on Monday. Traffic specially on the expressway and ports are horrendous..🥴
Holy week - a time for reflection and also for the city to decompress a bit. A city on a standstill looks fascinating in a way, and the lack of the usual noises makes it more pronounced. Eerie but good 😁 I also agree with putting off out of town travels for now, at least until the brunt of the summer heat is over. Good day Wistl Family 🤗 Ingat po ❤️
Hi Wistl Family! Happy Easter Day once more! Yes, majority of the Metro folks are actually from the different provinces - or at least will travel on their preferred holiday destination preferences. So the Metro Manila is so quiet, since only the bonafide Manila residents stay at their homes. Basically, this happens only every holy week and Christmas season exclusively due to the long weekends..and it's quite dramatically and insanely overflowing with heavy traffic on all areas by the time they all return to the Metro. PS: Easter Day is not quite a huge thing here in the PH, contrary to the ones as practiced in UK, USA and other countries. Rather, it's the Good Friday that is mere important to the PH Christians here.
Happy Easter Monday Wistl Fam. It looks like a ghost town in Makati. Monday is the last day of the holiday week. Back to the grind on Tuesday. Great to see you all having a fun time in the pool. Just amazing to watch Ellowen and Oslo are swimming real good. Take care you all 🙏
We also went to our home province for the Holy week.It's 7hrs trip to Ilocos including short stops,took us 15hrs on the road coming back here in the City😅
On Good Friday, everything stops in the Philippines. Although this year, some fast food outlets and groceroes are open Go to churches and beaches and they are full of people
Wow You're really geeting to know Manila very well. I must say your are 90% spot on about the holiday, the Makati, edsa traffic and the great way to cool down during the heat. I'm enjoying your story telling more and more.
For me on this day of the holy week (good friday)it’s-a time of fasting from morning till 3 and no consumption of meat of any sort,this is what I try to maintain during this day of the year.
don't worry about the weird funny looks ma'am that's typical Filipino humor. We find joy in sunburnt skin 😂 because we know that person had too much fun under the sun
Used to be that everything shuts down from Holy Thursday to Saturday, and then things come back to normal by Easter. Now though most close on Holy Friday and then be back by Saturday. And before the internet and cable, there was no TV as well since all networks shut down from Thursday to Saturday.
Makati is generally a business area and since it's a holiday because of the holy week, offices are all closed, it's a time where people go visit churches and do some reflections.
This Park is near my office Xyngular in Rada St. Hope to meet with your family when you are not out of town and staying put in Makati BTW, I am a naturalized Brit and lived in Devon for 5 years. Legazpi Park is where I eat lunch or have some fresh air when I go to my office. Remimds me of England
For most of us who are metro manila natives these are the days that we love when theres no traffic and we see our cities breath a little for a few days.
You are getting better and better in vlogging Wistl Family. Keep it up! We love you!We are happy to see your family enjoying life in our country. Watching from Japan.
yup, that's Holy Week in the Philippines! I took my family there as well during that time and it was the same as this. Very baron and quiet. Then everyone gathered together like an ocean of people in the streets slowly marching throughout town.
As catholic country,holly Thursday and good Friday most Filipino are traveling to there provinces to be with there relative and spend the long vacation.some are in the beaches with family and friends because this holy week is one of a long vacation.others stay at home to relax and watch movies with the family,cook foods no meat. Cook sticky rice as miryenda.Some are going to different churches to pray.
Here in the Philippines we observed Holy Week especially Good Friday it is a Regular Holiday. That's why all the Malls are closed and it is time for their Preventive Maintenance for escalators, elevators as well as building maintenance.
If you wanted to know about Holy Week in the Philippines, every Holy Week or day of the dead, we all visit our love ones to the cemetery we put flowers and candles even food in their graves we pray , back at home we eat and never go out anymore, we all stay inside the house ones it gets dark, because we let the wandering spirits/souls not to be bothered
Every time Good Friday comes I remember my mom. On one Good Friday she forced us to not look at our cellphone, no turning on the TV and computer. She wanted us to be silent and reflect on Christ's sacrifice on Good Friday. It felt awkward at first but then you get use to being quiet and you can appreciate everything around you. The gentle breeze, the sound of birds chirping in the distance and most of all the stillness of everything. No loud noise, just quiet. That's why whenever Holy Week comes I look forward to Good Friday when the whole Metro becomes quiet and you can freely roam around without any cars whizzing past by you. It's kinda like the city gets to relax and breathe for one day of the year.
Hello Wistl Family. I used to work in Makati. Yeah, this is the scene, like a ghost town during holy week. Only stores open are the ever delicious Mini Stop and 711 and other convenient stores.
Maybe next year's Holy Week, visit the "Moriones Festival" in Marinduque Island where the real experience of Philippines' Holy week happens. The costumes are out of this world. Should be fun the kids.🇵🇭
It is a Holy Week challenge to spend the week observing urban decay on a standstill, when most city dwellers, slickers left for the countryside and you are left alone to wonder how you're doing in your life's journey.
Hello Wistl's. I am glad to find out now that you have done a very good research about the Philippines especially the weather..its very important to make your plans ahead of time and include weather in the itinerary..but i have to advise you that weather nowadays is a bit hard to predict because of climate change..so just expect the unexpected.😊 but i agree with you that in May or June,the rainy seasosn will start again..but then again,expect the unexpected so you will not be disappointed.😊 keep on havin fun and enjoy life in the Philippines!😉🇵🇭🇬🇧🤩
during Holy Week, most Filipinos would either go to the province to visit family and pray as well, go to church and join processions and pabasa (reading of the passion of Christ in song form). some non-believers or non-religious ppl would just go on vacations like on a beach or a different place in the country to rest and relax and some people who have the budget would go out of the country fpr a different experience. establishments are closed as a respect to the observance of this season for Catholics.
That usually happen during holy week the whole city is so quiet, hope next holy week you get the chance to see the crucification in San Fernando pampanga where most volunteer got really nailed on the cross
Filipinos see Christmas as a day of celebration and that celebration is extended to the new year. Lent on the other hand is a season of quiet worship and ends with the celebration of easter sunday.
I lived here all my life but i cannot stand the heat as well. Not a fan of summer but somehow it is not that bad these days. Like right this moment it is cloudy
Some of them went back to their families outside metro manila/since all the companies(private and government companies)were all closed because of holiday season....they will resume to works on tuesday but some private companies still open
in the Philippines most offices n shops are closed during Maundy Thursday n Good Friday...Manila n environs are usually almost empty except for churches because most of the Manila populace go back to their provinces to visit take time to visit their families or go to the many beach resorts for a short Lenten vacation...
as a roman catholic, we spend our holy week in provinces because those places are more peaceful and able to reunite with your relatives and most of all after holy week, its beach time.
I did not know shops are closed on Christmas Day in UK. But they are open Dec 26 right for Boxing Day? Here, some shops are also closed on Dec 25 but mall stores are open with a late opening time.
We just got done doing the reverse. We live in Pampanga and we drove into Manila when empty and then left just as the flood of cars were returning back the other way. LOL
During holy week, maundy thirsday and good friday all establishments are closed except for essentials like groceries. Most of traditional events in holy week happened in the provinces or oitside the metro, thats why most filipinos take advantage of these holidays by going out of town
If you are still in the Philippines in next year's Holy Week, visit the Makati's Poblacion on late afternoon and evenings St. Peter & Paul Church are having Street Processions. These Procession depicts the Passion and Death of Christ and it also shows the Statues of the 12 Apostles. You and your family can also do some Church Visits for Station of the Cross & personal prayers and enjoy viewing Church Architecture and interior.
Yeah, that's definitely Air. The pool deck gives it away, lol. I think I saw your husband with your young lady one Sunday afternoon last month. I didn't recognised him because I haven't seen your vlogs before that time. Now that makes sense why he looked familiar. Hope to see you all.

Are you from Indonesia? Or Malaysia?

It doesn't matter to us what your religion is. Just act humanely and that is all that matters.

Thats what I love during Holy Week Manila becomes super peaceful.
I love the RELAXED vibe and the kind of 'maturely' LOVING way of dealing with your children ....It makes me think and apply it with my kids...❤❤❤
Everyone is on holiday during Holy Week, so people usually go to the provinces.
Chaos start again on Sunday when everybody goes back to the metro in time for work on Monday. Traffic specially on the expressway and ports are horrendous..🥴

I agree. I'm from Mandaluyong City but I went back home to Cebu for the holy week
True. Kami rin, umuwi ng Batangas.
As a Christian, Easter Sunday is of utmost importance since it is the day of God's resurrection and where we too could have eternal life with God.
Happy Easter Monday Wistl Fam. It looks like a ghost town in Makati. Monday is the last day of the holiday week. Back to the grind on Tuesday. Great to see you all having a fun time in the pool. Just amazing to watch Ellowen and Oslo are swimming real good. Take care you all 🙏

Awesome observation video of the Holy Week, particularly Good Friday, in the Philippines. Great job, Wistl Family. Enjoy Philippines and be safe.
Great decision to stay in the Metro. Tourist spots are crazy busy this period

Yeah that happens to the city during holy week. Everyone travels out to the provinces. The moment you can feel like you have the city to yourself.
Makati is generally a business area and since it's a holiday because of the holy week, offices are all closed, it's a time where people go visit churches and do some reflections.

The Philippines is like a time capsule. The piety they want to do during Holy Week is akin to what medieval europe used to do.
I remember the zombie movie 28days uk movie😅 1 of the best movie i watched❤

Cool family, BLESSINGS
Good to know you never travel in Holy Week bcoz I’m sure the province are soo chaotic every Holy Week and very difficult to find a ride.
They start opening businesses on Saturday. I think.
Pagit talaga Ang Lugar kapag if Wala na mga tao, mga tao din mensan nag papa Kanda SA bawat lugar
People do bring a special part to the place
I came across with your comment on KITO vlog that what brought me here
Some of them went back to their families outside metro manila/since all the companies(private and government companies)were all closed because of holiday season....they will resume to works on tuesday but some private companies still open
Holy week is the biggest event filipino family go to church and pray
It's long week end for us that's why we've celebrate together with family 😊
The music.😝its like you are in a zombie movie where there would be zombies appearing later on.😅😝
During Holiweek Filipinos goes to provinces to spend a vacation with their loved one or go out for an outing.
in the Philippines most offices n shops are closed during Maundy Thursday n Good Friday...Manila n environs are usually almost empty except for churches because most of the Manila populace go back to their provinces to visit take time to visit their families or go to the many beach resorts for a short Lenten vacation...
In Pampanga, someone is nailed into a cross. That is something that everyone in the world that covers
nice calming music..

I did not know shops are closed on Christmas Day in UK. But they are open Dec 26 right for Boxing Day?
Here, some shops are also closed on Dec 25 but mall stores are open with a late opening time.
We just got done doing the reverse.
We live in Pampanga and we drove into Manila when empty and then left just as the flood of cars were returning back the other way. LOL
Youre not catholic after all
Before everything is really close and you cannot see a soul in the road.. Good Friday..
During holy week, maundy thirsday and good friday all establishments are closed except for essentials like groceries. Most of traditional events in holy week happened in the provinces or oitside the metro, thats why most filipinos take advantage of these holidays by going out of town
If you are still in the Philippines in next year's Holy Week, visit the
Makati's Poblacion on late afternoon and evenings St. Peter & Paul Church are having Street Processions. These Procession depicts the Passion and Death of Christ and it also shows the Statues of the 12 Apostles. You and your family can also do some Church Visits for Station of the Cross & personal prayers and enjoy viewing Church Architecture and interior.
Now you see how filipinos celebrate during holy week and christmas diffrent from UK. Have fun …
Happy Easter to to your whole family
Same to you!
0:46, wait, that's what an Air Residences hallway would look like. Are you guys staying there?
Yeah, that's definitely Air. The pool deck gives it away, lol. I think I saw your husband with your young lady one Sunday afternoon last month. I didn't recognised him because I haven't seen your vlogs before that time. Now that makes sense why he looked familiar. Hope to see you all.
