Today, October 20, the cast of Aso Ni San Roque (Mona Louise Rey, Rich Asuncion and Ervic Vijandre) and Temptation of Wife (Glaiza de Castro, JC Tiuseco, and Bettina Carlos) visit the city for a Promo Tour. Their initial visit will be at Barangay Felisa Covered Gym (9am) for the Kapuso Barangayan, followed by a Kapuso Mall Show at SM City Bacolod Event Center (4pm), this time, with Yesterday's Bride lead Lovi Poe and Luis Alandy.

San Roque, patron saint for plagues, pestilence and AIDS, commemorated today (Aug. 16)

The Roman Catholic Church, the largest single religious body in the world with over 1.1 billion members is commemorating the death of one of its saints, St. Roch (better known in the Philippines and in Hispanic countries as San Roque), the patron saint of plagues, pestilence and AIDS.

In case you are not familiar with who San Roque is, he is the saint usually depicted in statue form in Catholic churches as the one with a walking stick on the left hand, while the other hand is pointing on to a wound on one of his knees with a dog sitting by his right side. This portrait of San Roque is usually mistaken as that of San Isidore the Laborer (San Isidro de Labrador) probably because of the term “Labrador,” which is also a term associated with a breed of canines.
