The people of the Philippines are very devoted to a special Catholic devotion to Jesus, the Black Nazarere devotion. Then in a great procession every year in Manila they carry a statue of Jesus, black because it was once blackened by fire. This year two and a half million participated in a procession that lasted 22 hours. The Philippines is 85% Catholic, its people devout.
