Season 86 Episode 4
Good Friday in the Pampanga plains: the sun bakes the earth, the faithful line the dusty road, and for some the ritual of Penitencia becomes more than sacrifice β it becomes a doorway.
In this episode, Arthur Benedict Salcedo, a grieving rice farmer whose brutal self-flagellation opens him to something that is not mercy; and Roberto βBertβ Santiago, a repeat crucifixion devotee whose public suffering is hijacked into a spectacle of condemnation. We trace how extreme pain, cultural expectation, and old Kapampangan spirits convergeβcreating a volatile mix where humility can curdle into pride and penance can invite a darker hunger.
