VIVA APUNG IRU! NONSTOP BATALYA 25 MINS | BATALIA BRASS BAND | PRUSISYONG KAPAMPANGAN | BANDA 8

Happy new year po kekayu! Oyni po ing drum cover ko ning batalya. Batalya mosikos, brass band. Banda otso. Viva Apung Maria reya ning batalya! Nonstop Batalia. From Wikipedia: Barangay Santa Maria. (Nuestra Señora dela Paz) or locally known as "Apung Maria" has the largest area among all other barangays in Macabebe. The image of the Virgin is the most venerated Marian image in the town and in the province of Pampanga. Every fiesta eve, they bring the original image to "Taldawa" or bukid (which is now under the place of Masantol & Minalin) for a house to house blessing within the whole day by means of "limbun", a Capampangan term for Libot or Umiikot. Only Apung Maria can do that wonderful event all over the province because she's connecting and making the way again in the place that Macabebe owns before. The feast day is every last Saturday and Sunday of the month of April, and holds one of the most grandiose festivity in the whole town of Macabebe. Devotees from abroad and Manila and locals of Pampanga come together to give honor and celebrate her festivity. During her festivity, they gather around to the original image for a grand procession (afternoon and evening) in tuned of Batalya, as she is known as LA REINA DE BATALYA, in honor of St. Mary, Mother of Jesus.
