Dios Te Salve

May is the month for Flores De Mayo - Flowers of May. Manila has its SantaCruzan; Agno had its Es El Fruto.

I did not understand what this meant except for its literal translation which is is the fruit in Spanish. There was a short procession from one house where the Virgin Mary image was stationed temporarily to be moved to somebody else's house to stay there for a week (similar to the Block Rosary). The song sung during the procession was the Dios Te Salve Maria. As you go down the tune, there is a part that goes Y vendito es el fruto thus that was where the title came from. There was the usual crowd of Manangs together with the ubbings nga maki-libot. The best part of course was the merienda served for the participants. The Filipino hospitality at its best - kape ken nabang-eg nga pandesal. Mabalinnen kuna da - uray ta naragsak tayo met nga nakilibot. Ay apo - natapok met bassit ta saan pay met nga naispalto dagiti dalan idi. Naka-sinelas nga rubber wen no saka-saka nga magna dagidiay makilibot.
