00:00Many streets in Manila are closed starting tonight because of the celebration of Santo Niño de Tondo.
00:06And the youths are also preparing for the street dance.
00:09Jaime Santos is a witness.
00:17We reached this group of youths in Francisco Street, Tondo, Manila.
00:23Because their group is going to perform tomorrow morning.
00:27Lakbayaw is the street dance in Tila Ati-Atiha, Tondo.
00:31They have been performing it for years as a way to give glory and thanks to Santo Niño.
00:36Most of all, you are gathering and you are all together.
00:40This is what we said that we are going to perform.
00:43Because my father is no more, that's why I am praying for myself.
00:48He can see what I am doing.
00:51We are here now in Francisco Street,
00:53where this group of youths are doing a last-minute practice.
00:58And all of them are part of the street dance that is going to be performed tomorrow.
01:03The street dance is part of the celebration of Santo Niño de Tondo.
01:08The street dance is a colorful tradition of street dance and dance.
01:13The goal is to dance the wishes of Santo Niño.
01:16It is a prayer that gives glory to Santo Niño de Tondo.
01:20It also serves as a guide and gives hope to the devotees.
01:24The original title of this dance is Caracol.
01:29This is the dance of the people in Santo Niño
01:32from the time of its origin in the sea, when there was a typhoon,
01:36until it was brought down here in Manila Bay.
01:40People will gather and it is called Caracol.
01:44When the sea disappeared, it was called Caracol
01:50because the people were organized in each barangay and they were the ones dancing.
01:55That is why they were given the wish to dance for Santo Niño.
01:58It is said that the history has an influence
02:00that is why the devotion of the Filipino Catholics to Santo Niño de Tondo is strong.
02:05Santo Niño is the second oldest image in the country,
02:09followed by the one in Cebu.
02:10Santo Niño is close to the heart of every Filipino
02:13because if we go back, the image of Santo Niño
02:16is the instrument made by the convention
02:19to fulfill their mission of making the Philippines a Catholic country.
02:24The devotees of Santo Niño de Tondo are the couple
02:27that we managed to buy clothes for outside the church.
02:31They are thankful because they were given the wish of a son to be a man.
02:37We believe that Santo Niño is the one who gave us Mateo and our business.
02:42He gave us Mateo.
02:44We always pray that we will have a baby.
02:48Even the clothes sellers of Santo Niño believe in the blessings in their lives.
02:54We are hoping for our children.
02:56If we have a problem, we will solve it.
