Im from cavite and i've owned an image of INA since year 2000, first i was saw a virgin in my dreams but i didn't recognized that she is the Virgin of Peñafrancia. from then i've decided to have a carbon copy of the said image, and after we enthroned her at our ancestral house so many blessings and miracles happen not only to my family but also to my friends testify what INA done to their lives, they felt relieved everytime that they visits INA to our home, theyu feel the motherly care on the virgin and touched their lives. last 2004, i've been to naga to attend the Peñafrancia Festival, this is my first time to attend this kind of event and to visit the 3 churches inside the metropolitan city of naga (Shrine, Cathedral & Basilica Minore). I was shocked and amazed because these ia a real fiesta, so many people and stalls, devotees came from different part of bicol and regions (including us). Now i believed that Peñafrancia Festival is on the Guiness Book of World Record as the "Biggest Marian Celebration in the Philippines". I was cried when i touched her on the Cathedral and Basilica, especially during the grand fluvial procession, the people shouted "Viva la Virgen! Viva El Divino Rostro!" one hym, one hope and one love for INA. so every third Sat. & Sun. of september i try to it that i'll go to naga to visits her and say a little prayer in my heart and to experienced again to this one of the kind festivity to honor INA.

Its been 4 years since the last time I went home for Ina's feast day. Since then, I would always come to the Our Lady of Guadalupe (Makati) to deliver my apologies to Ina for missing out her Feast Day again.

Two weeks ago, I was planning to finally come Then, a call for a provincial assignment was raised days before my planned departure. So I was left with no choice but to cancel.

I have been staying here in Antipolo, Rizal since Monday. Earlier this morning, me and two other officemates decided to look for a tapsihan around the area. We found one close to the church of Antipolo. At the entrance of the church was Our Lady of Guadalupe. I stopped to pray so she can again relay my message to Ina. On our way out, a couple of old women asked us to sign up against abortion, so we did. They then advised that there is a Marianne Exhibit going on behind the Our Lady of Good Voyage's image upstairs.

Upon entering the hallway, I was astounded by the beautiful collection of life-size images of Mama Mary. I took my time to look on each of them. Too bad camera isn't allowed inside.

From the 'kabisera' of the room stood the patroness of Antipolo, Nuestra Seniora de Buen Viaje. Beside her, my mother, Our Lady of Penafrancia. I broke down in tears. The message was so clear. She misses me, she went there to see me, she is always beside me and she loves me. I knew she brought me to Antipolo on purpose so we could meet even if i cant come home to Naga. A mother who longs for her child to come home took the step and made a way so they can be reunited.

Viva La Virgen! Padangaton ko ika Ina. Salamat!
