00:15 Darlene, do you have a wish for the Lord?
00:18 Yes, Maris, just like the devotees who came here this Wednesday, I also have a wish.
00:29 The story of the devotees who came here this Wednesday, is also the story of the 5th of Sambang Gabi.
00:36 The devotees here in Baclaran Church have not stopped coming since early morning.
00:44 It's Wednesday, so it's Baclaran Day and the 5th of Sambang Gabi.
00:49 The Purgisima has already prayed to fulfill that year after year.
00:53 We really need to fulfill our needs and our lives.
01:03 Like many, she has a wish to fulfill after she completes the year of Sambang Gabi.
01:10 My husband allowed me to rest because I've been with them for 31 years.
01:17 That's my prayer, that I'll be able to go home even if I don't have a job.
01:23 Reggie has come here from Tondo, Manila.
01:26 His prayer is for his family and his health.
01:30 We want to be able to attend the Sambang Gabi here in Baclaran.
01:35 Last time, we also had a son, so we also want to experience the Sambang Gabi here.
01:41 Gloria, aside from attending the Sambang Gabi, has been devoting herself to attending the Baclaran Church every Wednesday.
01:48 Even if it's raining or stormy, the Lord is guiding me to come here.
01:55 He gives me all the comforts I ask for.
02:08 Maris, just outside Baclaran Church, on Rojas Boulevard Service Road,
02:14 you can see that there are stalls full of goods like clothes, shoes, slippers, toys,
02:23 that our loved ones can bring to their Christmas shopping.
02:27 The devotees who come here to attend the worship service, usually go straight to buy for the upcoming Christmas.
02:34 That's the first news here in Baclaran. I'm Darlene Cai for GMA Integrated Loops.
