Filipino Tradition during Holy Week

During Holy Week in the Philippines, "ALAY LAKAD" or SACRIFICE WALK (if thats the way to translate it in english) is very popular, this is where some Filipino's go to church by walking and some are by foot! I am not sure what is the essence of doing this, but i think its about doing some sacrifice for Jesus Christ to cleans their souls, but as i have said, im not sure.

My first time to this was when i was in high school, so lets not discuss about it cos its a long long time ago. Then last year again but was an epic failure due to people and vehicles that got stucked on the road. But this year we were able to reach the church in Antipolo.

I am just dissapointed that most of the people who do this ALAY LAKAD is not doing it seriously, most of the crowd are like gangsters, clans and frats who just do it just for the sake of fun and experience. Lots of them where in very fashionable outfits, probably they feel like they are walking in the runway like models and there's even a moment where two groups had a fight in the middle of the street,Oh lord baby Jesus!

Anyway, just watch the video.
