Legend has it that the image of San Antonio de Padua was washed ashore in Sibulan by the waves, gapnod, where it was adopted as the town’s patron saint. Every June 12 the saint is celebrated by a fluvial procession of gaily-decorated boats.
FLUVIAL PROCESSION
Decorated watercraft ferry devotees and their venerated saints along the length of Sibulan Bay and to the parish church, hub of the June 13 fiesta; the church enshrines St. Anthony, who arrests hundreds of supplicants every 13th day of the month from all over the province.
