00:00 Even if you're just watching, you'll be mesmerized by the beauty of the carousel.

00:04 And what's more, the images are so colorful and vivid.

00:11 That's the story that Katrina Son learned.

00:13 Carousels are one by one being processed by a large-scale vehicle.

00:21 And it gives life to flower decorations.

00:28 But in Paombong Bulakan,

00:30 the flowers that Rosario Sacarosa is making bloom

00:35 are not just random.

00:39 They're made of paper because it's their way of celebrating every Holy Week.

00:45 The paper used to make paper flowers by Rosario Sacarosa is very important.

00:55 We also have a saint who is processing them.

00:58 I studied how to make my own paper flowers.

01:00 I put paper flowers in their carousel,

01:03 in churches, altars, or sometimes in exhibits.

01:08 You should know that Rosario calls paper flower baskets for her works.

01:14 It's a tribute to the baskets of Cebuano,

01:17 or handmade flowers that happened in the chambered nautilus shell.

01:22 According to the scholar Antonio Pigafetta,

01:25 when Ferdinand Bajalan visited Cebu,

01:28 Cebuano people love to eat the baskets.

01:31 We make shells like the ones in Cebu.

01:35 I use paper shells.

01:37 I make it hard.

01:38 It looks like a shell when it's far away.

01:41 In making paper baskets,

01:43 the flowers are first cut using a pattern.

01:50 Then, wood glue is applied and the alambre is attached using two papers.

01:55 When it's dry and hard,

02:00 it's cut into pieces

02:03 and beads are designed.

02:08 These are glued together to make a flower arrangement.

02:18 The arrangement we make is a spray,

02:21 a stem,

02:22 a swag,

02:23 a carved flower,

02:25 and a garland.

02:27 It's really long.

02:30 We make 100 or 200 sprays for one carousel.

02:36 We can make one carousel in two or three weeks.

02:43 For a price of P3,000 to P5,000,

02:47 Rosario can make more than 100 flowers.

02:51 It's been almost two decades since the family of Rosario designed and processed the carousel every Holy Week.

03:01 Aside from the town of Paombong,

03:03 Rosario also makes paper baskets for the flowers in Santo Domingo Church in Manila.

03:09 Paper flowers take a long time to make.

03:12 In Holy Week, the procession is Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

03:17 They don't remove the flowers anymore.

03:19 They recycle them until the next year.

03:23 They hide the paper in a cooler

03:27 so that it won't get dirty and enter any sector.

03:31 If the care and maintenance of the paper basket is done correctly,

03:35 it can last for up to three years.

03:40 Along with decorating the flowers and wearing festive clothes for the saints,

03:47 the carousel looks more like a Christmas decoration.

03:53 I'm Katrina Son, and this is the story you need to know.
