What is the significance of Holy Week in your life?

JOSEPH BERNABE
Holy Week for me is a great tradition of Filipinos.

EMMA NAVA
Time to reflect and atone for my sins and time to spend a few days in our paradise island with friends.

CATHERINE UY
It made me realize how vulnerable I am without HIM.

MARIBEL ANTUNEZ
To remind me that Jesus paid so much for our sins.

MARTIN SORIANO
It brings back childhood memories where everybody in Manila would troop to Baguio … wala pa Boracay fever sang una.

CANDY CAMPOS
A welcome respite to embrace our spiritual significance as a Christian.

MILDRED NECESSARIO
Next week would be a good time for me to look back on what I've done as a human being. Not just a Christian who do nice things, but as a man who could say last year I've made someone happy about himself by pointing out ones strong points for him to feel confident and precious.

MARILOU CACHO
The salvation of mankind.

CHRISTIA ABLONA
Significance of Holy Week in my life: time to ask forgiveness for all the sins I've done. Thank GOD for all the blessings He bestowed in me, above all to LOVE GOD & ALL THE PEOPLE THAT WE HURT. Time of repentance.

BEVERLY SEGOVIA
Christ died because of his unconditional love for human kind. And that we should love without expecting anything in return. To love till it hurts, to love inspite of everything.

ERIC PROTACIO
Repentance, asking forgiveness for our sins and thanking the Lord God for giving us his only to redeem us of our sins. For me that is the significance of Holy Week.

ANN DIVINAGRACIA
Boracay….. Hongkong….. Golgotha ? That is the question. Lent, like Christmas, should go beyond occasional peity and religious fervor, and live out daily the whole year through.

LOURDES LIM
The first Holy Week changed our life, the world and our future so I celebrate it as my reason for living.

MICHAEL CALING
Life is a daily celebration, betrayal, torture, mockery, carrying on of burdens, character assassinations, promises and dying for convictions that in the final analysis we survive all this in the promise to the repentant thief that there is PARADISE.

LEONARDO PESTAÑO
This Lent may we not forget that the true symbol of love is not cupid but the cross. Real love is not about rainbows but blood stained on stretched arms.
