Semana
sa Hubo
The
Black Virgin of Opon
The Semana sa Hubo is held a week
before the feast day of the Nuestra Seņora Virgen de
Regla, which falls on the 20th and 21st day of November. The women
devotees of the parish would remove the gown of the Virgin on the Friday
before the fiesta and dress her with a new one which would be worn for the
whole year. The gowns for the Virgin are donated by the devotees.
The Semana sa Hubo is like fiesta time
for the town people. Many visitors who wish to avoid the traffic and the
crowds come during this week.
