Hundreds of devotees perform the annual rites in the hopes of having their wishes granted mostly on bountiful harvest in farming. Devotees cover themselves in mud and leaves as part of a more than 100-years-old ritual to honor their patron saint and to ask for favors through prayer. EPA/FRANCIS R. MALASIG
