Aside from cashew nuts, native delicacies, and lechon along the streets, Antipolo is best known for the shrine of Nuesta Señora De la Paz y Buen Viaje or Our Lady of Peace and Good Voyage.
Patrons go here to attend mass and visit the shrine showcasing some of the sceptres and crowns. It was said that the state has around 400 pieces of dresses already.
Aside from this, patrons go here to have their vehicles blessed with holy water as a sign of gratitude for the blessing of having acquired a vehicle. Many also believe that the intercession of Nuesta Señora De la Paz y Buen Viaje will bring forth a safe trip for the car owners.
Just across the area where the cars are parked while awaiting for blessing ceremonies, is Reggie’s store. It’s not a complete trip without the suman and kasuy.
Suman is sticky rice wrapped in coconut leaves. One bundle of around 20 pieces is sold for Php 100 (USD 2) while roasted kasuy (cashew nuts) in plain or garlic flavor ranging between Php 150 (USD 3) to Php 200 (USD 4).
