MAKATI, Philippines — and 49 other tour guests learned about one of Makati's most enduring Holy Week traditions, the Kalbaryos or small street churches, with less than 60 of them now dotting different streets of Poblacion.
Sacred traditions were usually associated to provinces, said Canapi, so for a city tradition like the Kalbaryos to continue every year, and only interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, is quite remarkable. This Kalbaryo by the group BOMARIZ is setup in a Bahay na Bato that is believed to be the only one remaining from the American occupation in Poblacion. BOMARIZ stands for "Bonifacio Makati Rizal." Makati used to be part of the province of Rizal, said Canapi.
This life-size Santo Entierro is believed to be 200 years old, making it Makati’s oldest religious image The scenes in the Kalbaryos might be sad, but these are offset by the funny names of the groups that assemble the small churches every year.
