“GASANG-GASANG EASTER FESTIVAL” in Gasan stole the thunder the whole day of Easter in Marinduque. All of Marinduque trooped to town’s Guingona Park to witness the six-year old festival. The mammoth crowd that came drove the mayor to quip: “This huge crowd is a clear expression that the Gasenos and the many visitors who have come want this festival to continue!”
The festival is a mix of ‘Sinulog’ inspired street dancing and ‘Moriones’ where participants in ‘samaritana’ costumes and ‘moriones’ costumes dance in jubilation as they shout “Viva El Kristo!” for the Risen Christ.
