Outside thousand snow flakes fell, but inside the St. Joseph Hall, hundreds of people from Talisay, Batangas had been celebrating the 38th anniversary feast San Guillermo, their patron saint.
It was more than a community, as if the whole town people were present to be together at the middle of winter, to be with their expats, probably their neighbor or relatives. Young and old had fun and almost everybody savoured the food served during the dinner time. And lots of lechon and other Filipino delicacies.
A short but festive procession with the statue of San Guillermo was held inside the hall and honoring the Talisay’s patron saint had become the main centre of the celebrations. Dancing followed and lucky people went home with prizes from the raffle held.
