The island of Rota celebrate one of the island’s Patron Saints San Francisco De Borja in SongSong Village, late Sunday afternoon. Residents gathered for a celebratory mass, a sacred procession through the village and a hearty fiesta at the Rota Round House. Despite the cancellation of Bista Luta, a local fiesta that coincides with Fiestan San Isidro, residents are reminded of the patron saint we celebrate and the resilience of our people.
