IPAO FIESTA 2010

Posted by JUNE (AnAsianTraveler) On Saturday, May 15, 2010
It was a short vacation and I'm just happy to be home.

Last May 1, we had the chance to attend the 120th Annual Fiesta Celebration of the Patron St. Joseph the Worker in San Policarpio, a barangay of the City of Calbayog, Samar, Philippines.

On the feast of St. Joseph the Worker, the mass was officiated by Most Rev. Isabelo C. Abarquez D.D. (Bishop of Calbayog) with seven young priests, visiting priests and diocesan clergies as concelebrants.

      Hi June! Are you a native of Ipao on vacation there? Or are u just an intrepid traveler who got lost in Ipao? I'm a native of Ipao & really surprised to find this article accidentally! I was actually looking for SPCS, my Alma Mater! I was there myself and I know the people in ur photos - family! We were gazing at your photos, wondering who u are?
