00:00In the meantime, the streets of Paumbong, Bulacan, transformed into a moving stage
00:04where the dramatic art of the Calye Sinaculo becomes a profound living expression of Holy Week faith.
00:11Sheila Netiberad takes us to the scene and how faith and art look when combined.
00:22In the streets of Paumbong, Bulacan, the Sinaculo is more than just a performance during Holy Week.
00:29Instead of a stage, the story of the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ is brought to life along the
00:35road.
00:37Gian is one of the sinaculistas in Paumbong who has dedicated more than a decade of his talent to the
00:43Calye Sinaculo.
00:46Nagsimula ako na matutong umaki buhat nung ako ay bata.
00:50Dahil nung ako ay bata, mahilig ako manood ng mga nagsisinaculo na nasa stage.
00:59At sinabi ko sa sarili ko na gusto ko rin matuto na mag-act din pag ako ay tumanda na.
01:06From playing minor roles in 2015, he gradually honed his skills until he became one of the main characters in
01:13the streets of Sinaculo.
01:16The Sinaculo is a Catholic tradition that depicts the life, suffering, and death of Jesus Christ, usually performed during Holy
01:24Week.
01:26And for Gian, this is not just acting, but a way of expressing his faith.
01:32Sa aming mga Katoliko, naipapakita namin yung aming pananampalataya, true-up, dahil ang Calye Sinaculo nga, ito ay yung pagsasabuhay
01:46ng Panginoong Yeso Cristo.
01:49Dumating na ang takdang panahon, nalalapit na ang pag-ahari ng Diyos.
01:54Sa tulong ng pananampalataya namin, nagagawa namin yung aming best na ipapakita namin yung pananampalataya namin sa Panginoon na sa
02:05tulong ng aming pamamanata sa Calye Sinaculo.
02:09But each role he plays does not come easy, especially when he portrayed a Pharisee whom he describes as one
02:16of those responsible for the suffering of Jesus.
02:20Despite the heavy role, he continues to offer his talent as a form of devotion.
02:25Masasabi ko na mahirap maging sinaculista kung ang role mo ay yung nagpapahirap at nagdesisyon ng kamatayan ng ating Panginoong
02:39Yeso Cristo.
02:40He remains committed to continuing the tradition, believing that the love of the Creator for humanity has never been in
02:47question.
02:47Kung ako man ay magkakaanak na sa mga susunod na henerasyon at ito ay aking ipapamana dahil hindi lang basta
02:56ito ay isang show, ito ay pananampalataya na isinasabuhay, binibigyan ng pagmamahal, binibigyan ng prioridad na hindi lamang tao ang
03:09kaya nating paglilpuran kundi ang Panginoong Yeso Cristo.
03:14With every step on the street and in every scene they bring to life, they are not just telling a
03:20story, but a living reminder of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and a faith that continues to be passed on
03:26to the next generations.
03:28And this does not end with the closing of a curtain, because in the streets, the Word of God continues
03:34to live on.
