Galanza said she’d be with her family and go to their hometown of Liliw, Laguna where she’d spend the Holy Week the traditional Catholic way.

“This will be only time that I will get to spend some time with my family and we’ll go to the province to relax a little bit,” said the Adamson skipper in Filipino. “We’d all be in the house together then we’ll go to church and join the procession.”

The FEU leader said she chose to spend her break alone in Manila, but she didn’t forget to fulfill her Catholic duties as she plans to go the different churches in the capital.

“I can’t go back home because it’s just a few days and the fare is also very expensive,” said Pons in Filipino. “I’ll just go to church here in Manila, and spend time in the dorm.”
