Behind every successful celebration is a community of people working together with one heart, one purpose, and one shared devotion. 🌊🙏🏻✨

The pagoda is more than just a beautiful tradition celebrated on the water — it is a living reflection of bayanihan. It is the coming together of families, communities, leaders, devotees, and volunteers, all willing to give their time, effort, and support to keep a meaningful tradition alive for future generations.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the family of Benito and Consuelo Mendoza for wholeheartedly putting everything together and continuing the legacy that Benito and Consuelo first started in Talisay during the late 1970’s. Through your dedication, love, and commitment, the tradition continues to live on and inspire many people today.

To Brgy. Quilitisan, thank you for warmly embracing this tradition and welcoming the celebration with open hearts. Your support and participation remind us that traditions become even more meaningful when communities come together in faith, respect, and unity.

To Brgys. Talisay, thank you for continuously keeping this tradition alive and engraving it deeply into the hearts of the people. The pagoda has become part of the community’s identity, history, and faith — something cherished not only as an event, but as a legacy passed on from one generation to another.

And to all the officials, organizers, volunteers, and personnel who worked tirelessly to ensure everyone’s safety while maintaining peace and order throughout the celebration, thank you for your dedication and service.

We would also like to sincerely thank the staff of St. Michael and Company for their hard work, dedication, and tireless efforts throughout the event.

Some traditions are too meaningful to be forgotten. ❤️🙏🏻

The pagoda tradition, which first began in Talisay during the late 1970’s through the devotion and dedication of Benito and Consuelo Mendoza, became a beautiful expression of faith and unity in the community. What started as a heartfelt way of honoring Nuestra Señora Dela Paz Y Buena Viaje slowly grew into a cherished tradition that brought people together year after year — gathering families, devotees, and communities in celebration, prayer, and thanksgiving.

Through the vision and faith of Benito and Consuelo, the pagoda became more than just a procession on water. It became a symbol of devotion, togetherness, and the enduring connection of the people to their patron saint. The celebration carried not only beauty and tradition, but also the sincere desire to honor Nuestra Señora Dela Paz Y Buena Viaje with love and reverence.

However, around 1989, the tradition slowly came to a stop. Though the pagoda was no longer held, the memories, faith, and purpose behind it continued to live on in the hearts of the people who witnessed and experienced its beauty through the years.

Today, in honor of both the patron saint and the legacy left behind by Benito and Consuelo Mendoza, their children chose to continue what their parents once started with so much faith and devotion. More than simply reviving an event, they brought back a meaningful tradition deeply rooted in family, culture, community, and spirituality. Through their efforts, the spirit of the pagoda continues to sail on — reminding everyone of the importance of preserving traditions that carry both history and heartfelt meaning.

This celebration is not only a tribute to Nuestra Señora Dela Paz Y Buena Viaje, whose guidance, peace, and protection continue to inspire many, but also a tribute to Benito and Consuelo Mendoza, whose vision first brought this beautiful tradition to life in Talisay decades ago. Their legacy continues through every decorated boat, every prayer offered, every community gathered together, and every heart devoted to keeping this tradition alive.

What was once paused has now found its way back home — carried by faith, strengthened by family, and continued with love for both the patron saint and the couple who started it all. 🤍✨

The arrival of Nuestra Señora Dela Paz De Buena Viaje was truly a sight filled with beauty, devotion, and unity.

As the image approached the shore, excitement and emotion could be felt from everyone gathered to witness the moment. But beyond the celebration itself, what made this part of the event even more meaningful was the spirit of bayanihan shown by the community. From carefully guiding the image, assisting with the preparations, arranging every detail, and helping one another throughout the process, everyone moved with one purpose — to honor and welcome Nuestra Señora Dela Paz Y Buena Viaje with love, faith, and sincerity.

It was beautiful to see how people came together, each offering their time and effort without hesitation. Every hand that helped carry, prepare, and organize reflected the strength of community and the deep devotion shared by everyone present. Moments like these remind us that traditions continue not only because of ceremonies, but because of the people willing to come together to keep them alive.

From the carefully designed decorations to the collective effort of the community, every detail reflected the love and dedication poured into this celebration. It was more than just preparing a boat for a procession; it was a reflection of faith, artistry, culture, and unity all coming together as one.

A truly unforgettable moment where devotion met tradition, and where the spirit of bayanihan shined just as beautifully as the pagoda itself. 🤍🙏🏻

A beautiful and meaningful beginning to a day filled with faith, devotion, and togetherness. 🙏🏻✨

Before the pagoda officially began, Fr. Santi offered a heartfelt blessing for Nuestra Señora Dela Paz De Buena Viaje, asking for guidance, protection, peace, and safe journeys for everyone who would take part in this special celebration. As the image was blessed before making its way across the waters, you could truly feel the solemnity and beauty of the moment — a reminder of how deep faith can bring people together, no matter where they come from.

From early morning, people and boats from Talisay, Quilitisan, and Lago de Oro had already started arriving, all eager and excited to witness and be part of this long-awaited event. The shore slowly filled with devotees, families, visitors, and communities united by tradition and shared devotion. Boats decorated and prepared for the procession lined the waters, while the atmosphere grew more alive with anticipation as everyone waited for the pagoda to begin.

It was more than just a gathering — it was a celebration of faith, culture, and unity. Seeing different communities come together with joyful hearts and sincere devotion made the entire event even more special and unforgettable. Truly, moments like these remind us how traditions continue to live on through the people who cherish and celebrate them year after year. 🌊🤍
