The bell tower of St. James the Greater Parish Church of Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte, Phils.
The bells are as old as the city plaza and are very loud even though some are broken, cracked and missing the tongue (the thing that slams the bell to make a sound) because some are faulty we had to do it manualy but (there's another but) the bells are under repare thanks to our Parish Priest, enjoy the Video
(The people ringing the bells are the altar servers of the parish and their senior or as we like to call them in the Philippines Sacristan Mayor)
Saint James Fiesta 2019 Dapitan City The philippines!
Saint James the Greater
There are old rites still performed today by the Dapitanons and by other devotees of St. James the Greater from other places. These are the “Halok sa Reliquias”, “Patunob”, “Sinug”, “Sangon”, “Loa”, Procession and ”Paghipos Sa Atong Patron”/”Retirando”/“Paghukas kang Señor Santiago”. Starting this year 2014 the first two rites will be done from July 16 to 24. The The Sinug, Sangon, Loa and Procession are done on the day before the saint’s feast day. The last rite is done on any date after the fiesta.
“Halok sa Reliquias” means to kiss or touch the relic/s or any part of the image of St. James the Greater, his medallion, vestments, foot, horse, sword, etc. as a sign of awe or reverence.
“Patunob” means to be stepped on by the saint to show humility, infinite devotion, and gratitude. Devotees after doing the “Halok sa Reliquias” then genuflect lowly.
At twelve high noon on July 24, the saint’s image is brought out of the church door and for this year's celebration, the image will be carried alternately by Rev. Fr. Erico Montano and Bro. Ruben Go, Hon. Mayor Rosalina Jalosjos and Mr. Randy Cabasag and Retired Commodore Cirilo C. Saldon. The Sinug then follows.
The “Sinug” is a dance procession around the city plaza and it is the devotees’ enduring expression of prayer for intercession and gratitude for abundant blessings. The repetitive pealing of church bells and unison shouts of “Viva Señor Santiago!” in rhythm with the solid resonance of drums and a lively band playing the “Marcha de Cadiz”, the Spanish national anthem, make the “Sinug” exciting and memorable.
Waving briskly branches of plants usually the San Francisco variety, the faithful either dressed in colorful ordinary clothes or dazzling ethnic costumes immersed in the crowd joining the procession of the patron saint. There is no clearly identifiable or distinct beat or tune- it is more “a la carte”, or one dancing to one’s own music.
“Sinug” is an infective format of the word “Sinulog” whose root-word is “sulog” meaning water current for the crowd appears to move in water current motion. The shorter form is more popularly used as it conforms naturally to the peculiar accent of the Dapitanons, who pronounced “Sinug” with a prolonged draw at the last syllable, “Sinuuug”.
The image will be taken to the saint's chapel on the parish grounds and it will be mounted on a white horse above a decorated carro. St. James' and the horse' vestments/ accessories are then secured in its proper places by a saint's devotee.
A “Loa” entitled “Viva Señor Santiago!” is then declaimed by a young boy or girl. It narrates the fear and harassment suffered by the Christians and in the latter part expressed gratitude and extols the virtues of St. James the Greater. As a finale, very resounding shouts of “Viva Señor Santiago!” fill the air and devotees dance to their heart's delight before the image of the patron saint.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, amidst joyous and repetitive pealing of bells, the Procession is held around the city and ends at the church for the last day of novena and a holy mass.
”Paghipos Sa Atong Patron”/”Retirando”/“Paghukas kang Señor Santiago”. means taking off the vestments and accessories of the image of the saint witness by his devotees and accompanied by the pealing of the church bells. Others are there to offer more prayers, petitions, and gratitude to Señor Santiago Apostol.
His vestments and accessories are then lovingly stored and kept by the descendants of Senora Josefa Cadavedo vda. De Fermil, Don Andres B. Cadavedo, and Sra. Juana Dalida whose unwavering devotion to Señor Santiago will pass on to their coming generations, the Dapitanons here and abroad and to all devotees throughout the world.

St. James Parish Altar Servers- Dapitan City (Promotional Video)
The word acolyte is derived from the Greek word ἀκόλουθος (akolouthos), meaning an attendant, via Late Latin acolythus.
In many Christian denominations, an acolyte is anyone who performs ceremonial duties such as lighting altar candles. In others, the term is used for one who has been inducted into a particular liturgical ministry, even when not performing those duties.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church and Eastern Catholic Churches, the nearest equivalent of acolyte is the altar server. At one time there was a rank of minor clergy called the taper-bearer responsible for bearing lights during processions and liturgical entrances. However, this rank has long ago been subsumed by that of the reader and the service for the tonsure of a reader begins with the setting-aside of a taper-bearer.
In Anglican churches – such as the Episcopal Church of the United States, the Church in Wales, the Church of England, the Scottish Episcopal Church – altar servers are often called acolytes and can be of either sex and any age (although usually no younger than ten).
In the Methodist and Lutheran traditions, acolytes participate in the worship service by carrying a processional cross or crucifix (these acolytes are called crucifers), lighting and extinguishing the altar candles, and ringing the church bell to call the congregation to worship. In these traditions, the lighting of the altar candles in the worship service is a symbol of Jesus’ coming into the presence of the worshiping community.
Until 1972, the acolyte was the holder of the highest of four minor orders. By Pope Paul VI's motu proprio Ministeria quaedam of 15 August 1972, the term minor orders has been replaced by that of ministries.
The acolyte is instituted to serve at the altar and to assist the priest and deacon. In particular, it is his responsibility to prepare the altar and the sacred vessels and, if it is necessary, as an extraordinary minister, to distribute the Eucharist to the faithful. In the ministry of the altar, the acolyte has his own functions (cf. nos. 187-193), which he must perform personally.
The term instituted acolyte, which does not appear in the 1972 motu proprio, is used in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal to distinguish those on whom the ministry has been conferred with the prescribed rite from others who, while sometimes called acolytes, are less ambiguously referred to as altar servers. While, in the absence of an instituted acolyte, an altar server (male or female) may perform most of an acolyte's functions, some are reserved for an instituted acolyte alone. Thus only an instituted acolyte is authorized to purify, wipe and arrange the sacred vessels after Holy Communion. [source: WIKIPEDIA]

SPGA Bells- Glory To God Be The Higest
EXPLORE DAPITAN CITY x DAKAK BEACH RESORT x FANTASYLAND x RIZAL SHRINE
Here are some of the most exciting things that made our stay in Dapitan City more fun, memorable and worth-sharing.
Dapitan City in Zamboanga del Norte has long been in my bucket list to visit in the Philippines. This town is in the northern part of Mindanao. I was born and raised in Iligan City which is a northern part as well but I never got the chance to visit this place before where in fact it only takes 6-7 hours away from my hometown because first, I know that going there is quite expensive and second, I don't have someone to travel with me there. But now......finally!
Dapitan City is most well-known for being the place of exile of our dear hero, Jose Rizal, and has plenty of historic sites for visitors to explore over a weekend. The city is also known for Dakak, a shaped cove and powdery white sand beach. This Beach Resort is five star rated which is a perfect all season travel destination.
x DAY 1 ×
As soon as we arrived Dapitan City, we headed first at Gloria de Dapitan Fantasyland office to avail the Day Tour package. It's a Day Tour package in Dakak Beach Resort that comes with a Ride All You Can ticket in Fantasyland for only Php 999/person, since we will stay Dapitan for 4 days and take some fun activities in Dakak we decided to get each of us 2 tickets , which means we can have our Day Tour in Dakak for 2 days and a Ride All You Can in Fantasyland for 2 days as well.
We stayed at Travelbee Heritage Inn for 3 nights. It is affordable and the accommodation is quite comfortable. The staffs are friendly and easy to approach. They also offer bike for rent for you to use to tour around Dapitan City which only cost Php 50, btw you can use it until 6pm only. I highly recommend this for those who we're planning to visit Dapitan City.
*Rizal Landing Site, one of my favorite things to do is chasing sunsets. Rizal Landing Site in Dapitan is a good spot to witness the sun as it sets in the horizon.
* St. James Church, St. James the Great, the patron saint of Dapitan. It is situated right at the heart of Dapitan City. The most amazing feature of the church is its colorful and vibrant ceiling.
*Town Plaza, roam around the one-hectare city plaza that is full of grass and enjoy the fresh air you can breathe in.
x DAY 2 x
DAKAK BEACH RESORT is indeed a paradise to enjoy.

Aqua Sport Package:
Parasailing, Jetskiing, Kayaking, Snorkeling and Banana Boat ride for Php 1875/head and that package is only good for 5 people.
× DAY 3 ×

Same in our Adventure Zone Activity, we also avail their package which is the ATV, Horseback Riding, Airsoft and Ziplining (which we didn't get the chance to take because we don't have enough time, so a piece of advice you should get this activities as early as you can) and also a free fresh buko juice.

Built in 1755, Santo Tomas de Villanuevastands as one of the oldest church in the Philippines. Sto. Niño and Cebu Metropolitan Cathedral in Cebu, Baclayon Church in Bohol, St. James Parish Churchin Dapitan, St. Joseph Parish Church in Camotes are just some of the very long list of old churches found in the country. Santo Tomas de Villanueva is situated in Danao City, one of the populated cities in the province of Cebu.
The church suffered a partial destruction during the World War II as it is one of the hiding places of the folks during those times. Even though there were efforts to repair the Santo Tomas de Villanuevachurch, the edifice still seems not secured. Because of this predicament, Hon. Ramon M. Durano Sr. who is a builder himself and the possessor of a distinguished record of exemplary performance in his sincere dedication to the public good holding uppermost in his heart and determined in doing his best for the well being of his fellowmen, has came out single handed to support the needed reconstruction project which he initiated in 1981 when Julio R. Cardinal Rosales was Archbishop of Cebu and was finished during the incumbency of the present shepherd of the Archdiocese, his eminence Ricardo J. Cardinal Vidal, while the parish was under the pastoral care of Rt. Rev. Santos Maningo de la Serna, V.G., P.A in 1985. The inaugural blessing of Santo Tomas de Villanuevaand Solemn Consecration of the Marble Altar of Sacrifice happened on December 23, 1985. An estimated amount on P8,000,000 was provided out of the generosity of Hon. Ramon M. Durano Sr. in financing the said reconstruction project which took care at the same time to maintain the outward antique appearance of the church.
