Padul-Ong festival is celebrated by the Boronganons every 8th of September to pay homage to its Patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary. The festival commemorates the day they received the image of Mary after it was shipped by a mysterious lady from Portugal.

My grandmother would always tell me the story of the mysterious girl who brought the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary from Portugal to the Philippines and how the Padul-Ong festival started. Every September 7, Borongan City celebrates an early morning mass in a old-fashioned chapel at Barangay Punta Maria. The mass signifies that the Padul-ong Festival has start of the festival. From the chapel, the small image of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to Rawis Port. The first part of the festival which usually starts at 5:00 in the morning is the procession where boat owners can join along with the official boat carrier of the small image across Rawis Bay. The image is then paraded through the town going to Borongan Cathedral. Read More: https://lespagesdulivre.wordpress.com/2017/01/08/padul-ong-festival/

The Padul-ong Festival is a mythical presentation of how the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary was mysteriously transported to Borongan from Portugal in far-away Europe. The festival also highlights its connection to the Lady in White who used to frequent the Hamorawon Spring, blessing its water with the miraculous power to heal the locals.
