00:00Not only the Philippines has a record of having the longest celebration of Christmas in the whole world,
00:10we can also commit to a world record of the most number of angels
00:19who will try to destroy the town of San Rafael, Bulacan this Sunday.
00:26The people who passed by San Rafael, Bulacan this Saturday
00:32were asked,
00:36Am I already in heaven?
00:39The people they met were white, with halo and anklets.
00:45Angel Yarn?
00:48The people of San Rafael, Bulacan will attempt to break the Guinness World Record
00:54for the largest gathering of people dressed as angels.
00:59The current record holder, Winnipeg, Canada, is planning to make these angels wear angels costumes.
01:04Winnipeg, Canada recorded 1,275 angel costumes in 2015.
01:12For more people to get to know the Angel Festival,
01:15sometimes more than 900 to 1,000 young people dress as angels.
01:19We plan to include this in the Guinness World Record this year.
01:23The people expected to break the Guinness World Record are 2,000 people.
01:28The people of San Rafael can beat the record and get the crown.
01:33Viva! Viva! San Rafael!
01:37The question is, can they become angels and break the Guinness World Record?
01:43But on the day of the event, some of them went back out,
01:48so they were reduced to ashes.
01:52Naturally, the organizers were in panic mode.
01:59The question is, can they still succeed in their Guinness World Attempt?
02:06The record to beat for this title is 1,275.
02:10According to the Guinness World Record,
02:12in order to include an official member,
02:16they need to wear the angel costume approved by the Guinness World Records.
02:23This is a white robe with a halo and a crown.
02:27They also need to hold props like candles.
02:31For the duration of one minute, they have to keep on wearing those costumes and holding those candles.
02:35If there's more than 10% of disqualifications,
02:38the record itself will be disqualified as well.
02:41And what's funny about wearing 2,000 costumes,
02:47is Johnny.
02:48From morning to night, we wore this because we really want to finish these costumes as soon as possible.
02:56For Johnny to finish each angel costume faster,
03:01there are also angels.
03:03I have an angel that I wear in the morning and also in the night.
03:07Some wear edgings, some wear ribbons, some wear garters,
03:12and some wear a turban.
03:14To make sure that the costumes will fit everyone.
03:19This is the one they will wear the most.
03:23Their design is one size fits all.
03:28Then, they will tie it on the belt.
03:30This is the halo and this is the crown.
03:34What is it made of?
03:35Insulation foam.
03:36Then, they just added a candle that can be held.
03:40I recommended that the costumes should just be placed
03:42because we don't know who are the participants that day.
03:46So that the costumes can catch up with the event.
03:49For a month, the client did not accept Johnny in his shop,
03:53even though he lost his income.
03:55The client accepted me right away.
03:57There was pressure, but I was happy and excited.
04:00Because of the costume,
04:02Johnny decided to thank the patron of their town,
04:06St. Raphael Arcangel.
04:09He paved the way for him to recover from his illness.
04:13Eight years ago, I suddenly woke up and couldn't stand up.
04:16I was rushed to the hospital.
04:17That night, I prayed,
04:19Dear Patron St. Raphael,
04:20I hope that you won't stop me,
04:22no matter how bad my illness is.
04:26The next day, when I woke up,
04:28I tried to stand up.
04:29I was able to stand up.
04:30But I couldn't.
04:31He didn't come back until now.
04:32My faith deepened.
04:34St. Raphael is very important to the Ritos.
04:37He is the one who heals.
04:39They believe that he is the one who will give them
04:41a good harvest in Bukirin and Kailugan.
04:45In 2002, the Ritos started a movement
04:49to dress up angels during their Angel Festival.
04:53The Angel Festival started 23 years ago
04:56with the goal of deepening the faith of St. Raphael.
05:01Not just to celebrate, but to thank.
05:04That's why when there's a celebration,
05:06the angels come down to the earth to dance
05:09to thank for all the blessings.
05:13And a few days before the celebration,
05:15this group of young people from Barangay Dilimanuno
05:19is getting ready.
05:20Let's go!
05:215, 6.
05:24We recently used this outfit
05:26for the Last Angel Festival of St. Raphael.
05:31Every morning, we practice with our black links.
05:34This is the first time that we are competing
05:37in the Guinness World Records.
05:38I hope that we will win.
05:41Joseph was chosen to choreograph for the event
05:44as a former pandi in Bulacan.
05:47He then moved to St. Raphael
05:50to teach dance.
05:52I started in 2013.
05:54I started at the house of the pandi.
05:56I spent 2 hours driving to St. Raphael
05:58to teach the Angel Festival.
06:00Over the years,
06:02Joseph got to know St. Raphael Arcangel
06:05until he became a devotee of him.
06:08There was a big change in our life back then.
06:10My mother was pregnant.
06:13But when I moved here,
06:15we had our own family.
06:18I didn't expect to be in this town.
06:22Because life was harder back then.
06:26But here, we had a break.
06:29Because of the guidance of St. Raphael,
06:31their gown and costume rental business flourished.
06:35That's why Joseph was able to build cars,
06:38his own shop, and a house.
06:41Our life changed a lot
06:44because of St. Raphael.
06:46As a way to repay the patron,
06:50Joseph instilled the passion of St. Raphael
06:53in his mind.
06:54Every time I feel like I'm not here anymore,
06:57for example, when we are competing,
06:59St. Raphael is always there.
07:01He doesn't let us down.
07:06But was it worth it?
07:08All the hard work and preparation
07:11of St. Raphael
07:13to break the Guinness World Record
07:16for having the most Angel Costumes
07:19in one collection?
07:23Two hours before the event yesterday,
07:25the guests arrived one by one.
07:28Some of them even rode a truck.
07:31There were children and senior citizens
07:34who endured the long and hot line
07:37to enter the gym.
07:39Just to achieve their goal,
07:42their target is the World Record.
07:46I'm nervous and excited
07:48to enter the Guinness World Record.
07:50Will they be able to do it?
07:51We will try to get the record.
07:53That's our target.
07:56But some had a problem.
07:59The uniform,
08:01we will wear it.
08:03Some of them didn't follow the dress code.
08:07White T-shirt, round neck,
08:09and black pants and closed shoes.
08:12We will change to black pants
08:14so that we can still enter.
08:16So some went home first to change,
08:19while others continued to back out.
08:28Past 4 o'clock,
08:29the World Attempt started.
08:34But the organizers still didn't allow them to enter.
08:41The guests were late,
08:43so they were in a panic mode.
08:45There are people who came to pick you up.
08:47Hurry up!
08:48It's good that there are still people who came.
08:51As of 4 p.m.,
08:53we already have 1,700.
08:55There are still some who came to catch up.
08:58Even though they passed the 1,275 angels
09:03in the current record holder, Canada,
09:06will they be able to pass the qualifications?
09:13Past 5 o'clock,
09:15the formal start of the program.
09:17Later,
09:18the guests of Guinness arrived.
09:20In every 50 seats,
09:22there is a steward.
09:25She is the leader.
09:27She organizes the line well.
09:32Until the guests are in character as angels.
09:43And after the deliberation,
09:473, 2, 1, go!
09:55The announcement will be stopped.
09:59And with that,
10:13the guests reached heaven in joy.
10:16I am thankful to the Lord
10:18because this is the first time
10:20that He is with me.
10:23We are very emotional
10:25because earlier,
10:26we thought that we will not make it.
10:29More than 2,000 people came
10:31to receive this award.
10:33We believe that through this award,
10:36the faith of not only the members of the Church Of Christ,
10:41but also of all people in the world will be deeper.
10:44As a parish priest,
10:46of course, I am happy.
10:49And this will be valued by people.
10:52Our patron is St. Raphael.
10:55So, this Guinness Book of Records
10:58is a beautiful recognition
11:00and declaration of the messages of St. Raphael the Archangel.
11:06The angels were placed in heaven
11:09to guard and protect us here on earth.
11:14So that through us and the Lord,
11:18and in this time,
11:20not only will the guardian angel strengthen us,
11:29but also strengthen us.
11:36Happy 20th Anniversary, Kapuso!
