Oh snap! My parents are in the Philippines right now!
Today, over yonder, 17 people were crucified in a gruesome re-enactment of Good Friday! It's an annual event that dates back to the fifties and attracts thousands of gawkers...
Many of the people who do it say that it's a "calling" and that they are paying spiritual thanks for something or another - anything from being spared in an earthquake to surviving a fall from a building.
More than 80% of the Philippines is Catholic.
My ma's filipino, yo! Not to sound too westernized but if she pulls this shit Imma freak! (WARNING - these pics are gnarly! I spared ya the video though.)
