Pasay City, Philippines. 25th March, 2016. Filipino penitents do self-flagellation while walking the streets in Pasay City. Though disapproved by Catholic Church officials in the country, some Filipinos still practice the tradition of self-whipping on Good Friday as their way of penance, asking for God's forgiveness and commemorating the suffering of Christ.
