The Parish of St. Anthony of Padua in Sulangan, Guiuan, Eastern Samar, Philippines is a known pilgrimage site (panaaran). People visit the Parish to offer prayers in order to request the intercession of St. Anthony, and the other Saints, for various purposes, and to give thanks for requests answered. See related story here.

wow, pareho hin very busy na ha sulangan, di sugad han ak urhi nga pagkadto around 2001.
Sunday manggud han amon pagkadto, sanglit damo an tawo. When the construction/repair of the Parish Church is completed maybe the place would become busier as a new parish church might attract more people. The local officials ought to give attention to pilgrims’ needs such as food. Waray kami magdara pagkaon takay dara han kadamo han tawo naubosan kami han mga baligya didto. It iba kasi diri nagbabalon. Ngan para di na unta magbalon it mga manaraad, ngan income pa hit barangay, magkamay-ada unta hit mga taga-Sulangan pamaagi ma-improve ira food services.
kulang la liwat siguro hit mga eager pag put up hin business. but it would be good business liwat kon may makakita hit opportunity.
Asya. Siguro di pa la nakita it mga taga-Sulangan hit nga oportunidad. It iba kasi nagbabalon (kay waray man malalauman nga makakaonan gu didto). Kun may-ada ko la kapital ako it nagpapatikang hehe. Maaram ka naman hit mga Pinoy basta may magtikang, nagsusurunod dayon. Pagpainteres gad la hit mga tawo. Karag man dama bawo it nga oportunidad kay natikadamo iton pilgrims ngan natikaupay it singbahan. Kun ako ngani it Padi didto ako na it magpatikang, tapos magbutang hiya donation box para mamadamo it makabulig hit pagtirok pondo para mahuman na ini nga church.
