A Filipino villager plans to be nailed to a wooden cross for the 35th time to reenact Jesus Christ’s suffering in a brutal Good Friday tradition he said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea.
Ruben Enaje, a 63-year-old carpenter and sign painter, said he and seven other villagers have registered for the real-life crucifixions, which have become an annual religious spectacle that draws hundreds of tourists in three rural communities in Pampanga province north of Manila.
The gory ritual resumed last year after a three-year pause due to the coronavirus pandemic. It has turned Enaje into a village celebrity for his role as the “Christ” in the Lenten reenactment of the Way of the Cross.

The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas says the 6.6% inflation in April is within its forecast range of 6.3-7.1%, consistent with the overall assessment that inflation will remain elevated over the near term before gradually decelerating back to target range in end 2023. | @lawagcaoili
@lawagcaoili The balance of risks to the inflation outlook for 2023 and 2024 also remains tilted heavily towards the upside as the potential effect of ongoing supply shortages continues despite the slowdown in food inflation. | @lawagcaoili
@lawagcaoili Other upside risks emanate from the impact of higher transport fares, increasing electricity rates, as well as above-average wage adjustments in 2023. | @lawagcaoili
