The "PAGODA" of chinese origin, literally "temple of worship," Our Lady of Penafrancia is enthroned in its cruise during the Fluvial procession on its way back to the Shrine, now to the Baslica. Dozens of small boats (bancas) paddled by macho men tow our Ina's big boat, a sight so colorful and touching. Thousands of pesos were being spent year alter year to prepare and decorate the PAGODA which for years used to be borrowed landing barge of World War II vintage. To do away with this yearly financial headache (of spending thousands) Archbishop Legaspi took to task the construction of a permanent PAGODA through the efforts of the Penafrancia Association headed by ex-Governor Felix A. Fuentebella. On September14, 1990, Friday, the new PAGODA was blessed and inaugurated with Archbishop Leonardo Z. Legaspi, O.R officiating at Camaligan, Naga City's suburban town. This project is another showcase of the people's love and devotion to our Ina.
