Baptism in the Philippines

Mom Violy had been craving lobster but was hesitant to try dining at Burger & Lobster. She mentioned the restaurant to a family member, who said the food was delicious but pricey. She told Carmina she wanted to eat there for lunch on Saturday, January 3rd. Since it was the new year, we decided to explore and try something different.

Baptism in the Philippines

It has been a long time since I have attended a baptism and become a God Parent at the same time.

What is the preparation before you have your baby's baptism?

Birth Certificate of your daughter/son
Reserve a date of the baptism
Each Godparent there is a fee to pay at the church depends on the parish.
Reserve the venue of the reception
Know who your godparents will be and make sure you know they will be there to give the best guideness to your child as he/she grows up.

In the Philippines people go all out when they plan a baptism they have a banner made up which I was able to design one for her.
