Amatuer video "PROCESSION OF NUESTRA SEÑORA DE SALVACION"

Taken last May 15, 2009 during the procession of Nuestra Señora de Salvacion, the Patron Saint of Brgy. Cantariwis, Tolosa, Leyte, Philippines, wherein Roi, my son was the "Hermano Mayor".

Way back December 1997, after we returned from the Philippine Heart Center, Manila where his open heart surgery was postponed and reset the following year for further study of his case according to the Chief Pedia-Cardiologist of the said hospital, when my husband and I decided to offer everything to God our son's case since we are desperate that we could go back the following year due to financial constraint. I uttered that for every 6 years of his existence, he will sponsor the Mass during our Fiesta, May 15-16 in honor of our Patroness.

With the intercession of Nuestra Señora de Salvacion, he reached 6 years old without major attach and last May 15-16, 2003 we fulfilled our promise. Despite his serious attack last 2007-2008, we are again so grateful that he is surviving until now. Having reached 12 years old, again we celebrated our Fiesta with my son as Mass Sponsor. But this time, we focused only on Church activities due to limited funds. Unlike in 2003 that we even sponsored several parlor games including inter-barangay basketball competition wherein we are the donor of trophy and cash prize for the champion.

While I understand that we have individual beliefs, yet for my son and my whole family, we firmly believed that Nuestra Señora de Salvacion has done so much for this miracle.
