On the 37th time he was nailed to the cross, Mang Ruben once again offered his faith and sacrifice — but this time, it marked his final performance. Just minutes after the ritual, he personally confirmed in a press conference that he would be stepping away from the role he had portrayed for nearly four decades. According to him, his final act of sacrifice is dedicated to peace in the Middle East — a message of prayer and hope amid ongoing global conflicts. At 65 years old, Mang Ruben acknowledged the toll of age on his body. He has been suffering from asthma and was immediately given oxygen after the performance to prevent his condition from worsening. Meanwhile, two of his fellow villagers are currently being considered to take over his role and continue the tradition. Not only locals were in awe, foreign visitors also traveled to witness the unique ritual. They said the experience was beyond words and expressed deep respect for this form of devotion. According to organizers, around 8,000 people gathered in San Pedro Cutud, with more than 15,000 attendees across all 5 crucifixion sites this year. While some fainted due to extreme heat, no major untoward incidents were reported. In total, about 15 devotees participated in the crucifixion rites in San Fernando, held across different sites.
