The annual transfer of the image of Ina, the Virgin of Penafrancia was held on Friday, September 12, 2002 in Naga City, Philippines. The huge religious procession known as Traslacion brought the Virgin’s ebony statue from the Penafrancia Church to the Metropolitan Cathedral.

UP Ibalon’s Edna Fatima Balaquaio was there to witness the event which marked the series of festivities which will culminate in the Fluvial Procession and Thanksgiving Mass on September 20 and 21, 2008 respectively. The Penafrancia Fiesta is expected to attract about a million visitors and devotees.
