kapia
Small, decorated bamboo shelters with arches, set up on street corners for Holy Week.
It is the responsibility of the barangay officials to build these shelters and arches each year. During Holy Week this is where people gather to recite the pasion. The shelters are also used on Good Friday for the stations of the cross, istasion. People carry the statues, or saints, with them and the procession stops at each kapia inside of which is a table and a picture of one of the stations of the cross and a candle. The priest sings or chants and then the procession goes on to the next kapia.
