BULACAN, PHILIPPINES - 2014/07/06: The Pagoda sa Wawa is held every first Sunday of July in Bocaue, Bulacan, in honor of the Holy Cross of the River (Mahal na Krus sa Wawa). The main attraction of the celebration is the fluvial parade of the pagoda or decorated barge and colorful small boats and people doucjing each other while on boats. Legend states that the forefathers of Bocaue extracted the Holy Cross from the river 200 years ago, and the celebration is in commemoration of this event. Twenty one years ago, in 1993, a tragic incident where 226 people drowned to death after the pagoda sunk, this is one of the worlds deadliest river mishap.
