DESPOSORIO (Malolos)DESPOSORIO (Malolos)This is a dance performed in Barangay Malanggam, on the eve of a wedding day. A religious image of Joseph & Mary, decorated with flowers & lighted candles, is borne by the groom and the member of his family from his residence to the bride’s home. There is much dancing, singing & poetry as the procession moves along the way. Highlight of the ritual is what local folks call “PITONG HAKBANG” poetic lines of Seven Sacraments describing the various steps toward attaining a successful marital life.

Sa ulo ni Adan kaya di hinango Ang babaeng Eba ng di-magpalalo

Doon nga binuksan sa tapat ng pusoUpang ang dalawa’y laging magkasundo
