Previous hour's mass ushering out and few minutes of quiet inside the basilica before the next hour's entrance procession. There's no missal for today's mass readings and no song book either. Filipinos are inherent pilgrims but only a few visit Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico City. This holy place is not non-Spanish speaking friendly in more ways than one.
@abdielfromhell If 'mananitas' is the song in this video, then this song is not commonly sang in church or other places in the Philippines. I'm aware of one Filipino dialect that closely resemble Spanish - Zamboangeno, province of Zamboanga, way south of Manila.

@abdielfromhell I don't know. Left Philippines before Vatican2, latin mass et al...
This vid is @ the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Mexico City. All masses & hymns were Spanish. If not for the universality of the Roman Catholic Mass, I would not have been able to follow the mass prayers & readings with my English Sunday missal.
