Just about every Filipino Catholic home, wherever they are (save for workers in Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia of course) will have a form of the Santo Nino on a home altar.

My wife is a Filipina and we have two: a "black" Santo Nino and a "white" Santo Nino.

It probably varies from region to region.

Howdy folks.

Managed to type up an account of Saturday's Sinulog festivities.  But I'll post a link to that thread here, instead of pasting the long account.  I figure it's more of a "Hello/goodbye" sort of message to the Fisheaters.
