Every year, the people of Capiz look forward, with so much anticipation, to the Sinadya sa Halaran Festival in honor of the Immaculate Conception. Sinadya sa Halaran has evolved into a celebration of the Capiznon’s faith and way of life and a celebration of the cultural heritage that paved the way for what has become of Capiz and its people.
2013 however made the difference. On the 8th of November, just exactly a month before the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, the Capiznon's Patroness and Protectress, Super Typhoon Yolanda struck the province and devastated not only a part of it but the whole of it. After Yolanda, only the face of devastation was left. Everywhere there was destruction, there was grief due to loss of lives and properties. This however did not pin the Capiznon’s spirit down but brought out the best in everyone. People started to help their neighbors clear the debris, to share the little food left on their tables and to open their homes to those left homeless. Amidst all the destructions, the people of Capiz made a stand that not even the likes of Yolanda will stop them from celebrating their culture and their faith. Sinadya sa Halaran was celebrated as an act of thanksgiving to God and to Mary, the Immaculate Conception, for bestowing upon them the strength of faith and character that saw them through the worst of times.
