Some more informations:

~ Legend has it that San Diego de Alcala, a Franciscan lay brother who lived in
15th-century Spain and in whose honor the parish in Polo is dedicated, would
smuggle pieces of bread out of the convent and gave them away to the poor. He
was on his way out to do his usual act of charity one day when a suspicious
superior stopped him and demanded that he show what was under his robe.

~ As San Diego lifted the hem of his frock, something miraculous happened: what
spilled out of his robe were not pieces of bread but flowers.

~ The San Diego de Alcala Parish Church was opened by Franciscan friars in 1627,
four years after Polo, which had been a small sitio in Catanghalan, became a
separate town. The town, three centuries later, would be the modern-day
Valenzuela City.

elderly/adults that are dancing in the middle of the street. There is also a dance
competition between different schools in Valenzuela City.
