Reyna Amihan (Hara Humamay), wife of Rajah Humabon was baptized on April 14, 1521. She was the first Filipina Queen to accept Christianity. She was given the name Juana (Johanna) in honor of KIng Charle's mother. Magellan gave her a gift which was an image of the Child Jesus or the Sto. Niño. She was the first to be baptized by Fr. Pedro de Valderama upon Magellan's arrival in Cebu.
EMMANUEL RITUAL. AS THE END OF YEAR USHERS IN THE YEAR 2021, WE CELEBRATE THE 500th ANNIVERSARY OF THE ADVENT OF CHRISTIANITY IN OUR COUNTRY. WE RECALL THE MAGELLAN EXPEDITION IN 1521 WHEN THE TRIBE OF RAJAH HUMABON (baptized CARLOS, PORTRAYED BY VINLEE NOCOM) and REYNA AMIHAN (baptized JUANA, PORTRAYED BY PAULINE MACAPAGAL) received the gift of faith in Baptism by Fr. Pedro de Valderama. It was the dawn of a new wave in the life of the Filipino faith. From darkness a new light has dawn with the birth of Christianity in our country. Emmanuel is God is with us. The God who walked with us is now the God who is in us in Holy Communion. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The Filipino has been chosen and called to share the faith in all the world. Let us walk the walk of faith VIA CON DIOS. Video by Nick Caparas. Director and choreography by Dye-ahr Mabuti. Make up by Jheng De Guzman and Bradley Jimenez. Tattoo by Caspog.
