LENT IN GASAN: MORIONES HIGANTES

In the early 60's one of many Philippine postcards published by a Manila-bookstore to promote the Philippines featured Gasan's Higantes. The dominance of these higantes may have waned during the last two decades. But this year they have been resurrected making a big comeback that took everyone by surprise. Taking on a new look in the form of giant Morions, all barangay clusters of Gasan participating in the Easter Sunday Gasang-Gasang Festival produced their own morion higantes this time, as part of their contingent and paraded around the poblacion.
