MANILA, Philippines – Palaspas or palm fronds carry an important meaning for Christians.

Most of the sellers who make the palaspas right in front or in the vicinity of churches travel all the way from Laguna, and make their way to different parts of Luzon, some landing in Metro Manila and Baguio City, among other areas.
