How blessed we are to be able to witness a Kapampangan Catholic tradition here in Los Angeles. Thank you to the founders and organizers of the annual Virgen Delos Remedios and Sto. Cristo del Perdon festivities. This year is my third consecutive time to attend the celebration at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels with my family, relatives and cabalens.
I love Mama Mary, I believe in her intercession and guidance. Mamang taught me at a very young age to venerate Her, and showed me Her power to protect us from danger and storms of life.
I pray that my darling nieces Kadie and Mykela will be Marian devotees too. I am glad that I don't see them bored and annoyed on occasions like this.How Lola Mamang will be giggling in heaven to see you grow with tight devotion to our Mother.

I look more lovely when Sta. Ana and Mama Mary are beside me. I am a thousand and one miles away from their simplicity and humility, however They love me in an infinite way, my kaartehan and kamalditahan don't matter.
How lovely that we bond in many aspects- chika minute, fashion and food, and THIS.:)
Hi Mang, I know you are smiling at us. I know just how much you approve that we are present on this day. Like what I always say, we will always try our best to live up your legacy and to make you proud of us.

| Thank You for Your intercession. |

| Couples I admire. |

| I love you Mykela.Mama Mary loves you too. |

| Sophia as child of Mary. |

| May Mother Mary pray for you always. |
I was named after St. Anne.I am a girl with flaws and loopholes, and will never be a saint. But truth to tell, I love praying, attending church activities, going to church because they soothe my sometimes troubled and restless soul. I feel in my heart Mama Mary and Sta. Ana's love for me, They keep me away from fire and dangers right away, they are overprotective.
 |
| May Mama Mary provide you with good and long life, Mommy. |
 |
| Good job, angels. |
God, thank You for a family that adores You. May we always value Your love and care for us.
 |
| Men for Mama Mary. |

Virgen Delos Remedios, ipanalangin mu kami.
Sto. Cristo Del Perdon, pakaluluan mu kami.
Hopefully, my family and I will be able to attend this yearly Coronation for the next 20 years and more. On this day, I had no particular petition for myself, I prayed for certain few special people in my life. I guess it's because I am really grateful and content with what and who I have now, and more blessed with the love and life I had in the past- Mamang's presence,love and guidance.
Blessed. Thankful.Faithful.
