"Bukgu District and Antipolo City also share some sort of similarities. Both are favorite destinations of pilgrims. Both are nestled in the arm of the mountains. Both love J-Hope of BTS. And most importantly, both want to create a place of happiness where people can live well through progressive change," Ynares said.
The Marian image of the Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage or the Virgin of Antipolo which was brought in from Mexico in 1626 and enshrined in the Antipolo Cathedral, has a solid and growing following among Catholics since the Spanish colonial era. The most notable of these pilgrimages would be the trek from the Minor Basilica of the Black Nazarene , in Quiapo, Manila following the procession of the image.
