Since I read Jose Rizal's “Noli Me Tangere” in high school, I had always wanted to go to Obando, Bulacan and see the ritual dance that Maria Clara's parents performed to  ask for a child from God with the intercession of saints.

There has been very little effort to revive this great heritage. In his Noli Me Tangere, for instance, Rizal wrote about how Doña Pia gave birth to Maria Clara after she danced on the feast of San Pascual in the shrine of Obando. The authorities are talking or encouraging local tourism, but they seem to have no knowledge of our touristic traditions.
