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.
