Filipinos believe in the sanctity of panata, which has come to mean a pact with God to perform a good deed in return for a prayer or wish that was granted. It could take the form of a novena, joining the Black Nazarene procession, building a church, or praying the rosary while walking on one’s knees from the church door to the altar.
During Holy Week, a popular form of panata among Filipino Catholics is public self-flagellation, with some penitents even walking the streets wearing a crown of thorns. Others go to the extent of having themselves crucified on wooden crosses using steel nails.
