Kids dress up for Sto. Niño procession

The Grand Procession of the Santo Niño Festival is underway Sunday, with roads blocked to allow the faithful to make their way from Pasay City to Quirino Grandstand in Rizal Park, Manila.

The yearly event of the Congregacion del Santisimo Nombre del Niño Jesus began on January 18. Highlights include an exhibition of hundreds of Sto. Niño images at the PNB Building on Macapagal Avenue in Pasay City.

The procession, which marks the end of the festival, brought thousands of devotees out in the streets, including these colorfully dressed children.
