In Binanongan, Rizal, miniature statues of saints take center stage instead of the usual life size ones. This recalls the religious tradition in Colombia, where children process their own child-size santos.
This relatively-new Binanongan tradition is called “caru-caruhan“ (play carrozas), and it is held during the Lenten season. It began sometime in the 1980s, when children began imitating the Holy Week tradition of bringing out images for the annual Lenten ritual.
Along Regidor St., the children would parade their homemade santos made of sticks, cloth and other available materials. Over the years, the image became more sophisticated, well-made and life-like.

Adding to the festivity is the “Higantes” (giants). Higantes are giant paper mache images measuring four to five feet in diameter and ten to twelve feet in height. The street event leads to a fluvial procession in Laguna de Bay, however, the festivities continue until the image is returned to its sanctuary.
