Quick Glance: Philippine Devotees Experience Crucifixion Re-Enactment
- In sweltering heat north of the Philippines capital Manila, Catholic followers were nailed to crosses on Good Friday to re-enact the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
- Approximately 20,000 Filipino and foreign visitors gathered in San Pedro Cutud in Pampanga province to witness this annual display of dedication, which is not endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church in the Philippines.
- These crucifixions represented the most extreme manifestation of faith in the Philippines, where around 80% of its over 110 million inhabitants identify as Roman Catholics.
- During Holy Week, certain believers whip themselves with bamboo lashes, viewing it as a form of penance to cleanse their sins, heal illnesses, and receive blessings. The Catholic Church opposes such practices, asserting that prayers and genuine repentance suffice to observe Lent.

Quick Glance: Taiwan Raises Alarm Over 'Enormous' Chinese Bases Near Its S. China Sea Holding
- Taiwan's foreign minister mentioned that China has established 'enormous' military bases on three islands surrounding Taiwan's main holding in the South China Sea, but Taipei is not seeking to further escalate tensions in the strategic waterway.
- Some lawmakers from both the ruling and main opposition parties have urged President Tsai Ing-wen to visit Itu Aba to assert Taiwan's sovereignty and witness a newly renovated harbor capable of accommodating larger ships.
- China has conducted extensive land reclamation on its South China Sea islands, constructing major air force and other military facilities, causing significant concern in Washington and the region.
- Taiwan also controls the Pratas Islands in the northern part of the South China Sea, and both China's air force and navy frequently operate nearby to assert Beijing's territorial claims over Taiwan, which the Taipei government rejects.
