Pabasa ng Pasyon

It is Filipino tradition to chant the entire Passion of Christ. This takes two days and the performers take turns as they take breaks. The singers know the melody as it was passed on from generations. Pabasa means pledge, the pledge being to pass on this tradition from generation to generation. I was lucky enough to witness Pabasa.

The poor quality of this video (not mine) doesn't do justice to the pleasant singing of the performers.
