taong putik
ALIAGA, Nueva Ecija—The rust-brown dried leaves the revelers wore and the mud that cracked dry on their faces gave the impression of a movie flashback in sepia tone when the Taong Putik (mud people) of Nueva Ecija marched early Sunday morning down the street of Bibiclat, a village some 143 kilometers northwest of Manila.
The scent of lighted candles, sold by ambulant peddlers at eight pieces for P10, filled the morning air.
The local brass band whose members and majorettes are also clad in Taong Putik get-up played novelty tunes nonstop near the village chapel where a mass was about to start.
Its almost always like this every year, if not for some little changes, said Rodolfo Undan, Central Luzon State University (CLSU) president who never missed joining the rite every year. He lives in Bibiclat.
Taong Putik, a local version of mardi gras, started during the Spanish time, when Ilocano pioneers came to the place then called Pulong bibit (Place of Ghosts) carrying an image of Saint John the Baptist. Folk tale also say that the first settlers daubed their bodies with mud to trick the ghosts. And as the years passed, different stories and beliefs associated with it had become part of the life of the villagers.
Mario de la Cruz, a 27-year-old part-time farmer and tambo (native grass made into broom) gatherer, turned to taong putik devotion to keep himself and his family away from sickness and bad luck.
The same belief is shared by Bert Eugenio, 45. Life seemed easy and it is good nobody in the family gets sick, Eugenio, who first joined the ritual when he was 14, said.
Jeffrey Buenaventura, member of Tinig sa Ilang Music Ministry church choir, observed that even young children participate in the taong putik now.
A Kenyan student in CLSU, John Tabot, said the Nandi subgroup of the Kalejin tribe back home do the same ritual. It is a sort of rite of passage like circumcision. Boys will not be considered complete men if they dont do it, he said.
The parish priest, Fr. William Villaviza, however, scorned those who called the devotees taong putik.
What we are doing here is not a show, he said in his homily, apparently irked by the invasion of photographers and cameramen. Do not call them taong putik. It has dirty connotation, he added.
He insisted that the religious practice with those mud-painted people clad in dried leaves and twigs soaked in wet mud before wearing should rather be aptly called pagsa-San Juan, or feast of Saint John the Baptist.

CLLEX update as of September 2020
This is the Central Luzon Link Expressway (CLLEX) phase 1 project. It connects Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway to Cabanatuan City, passing La Paz Tarlac, Zaragoza, Aliaga and Cabanatuan City.
This approximately 30+ km expressway or more will decongest and make the travel time to Cabanatuan convenient. The alignment passes thru the vast rice fields of Tarlac and Nueva Ecija passing Rio Chico river. The interchange along Zaragoza ends up at Bgy Santa Lucia, and soon the Cabanatuan Interchange ends up at Bgy Caalibangbangan and near Talavera. We returned to this project to check the progress. Tell us your thoughts and expectations on this project on the comments section on how it will affect motorists lives. Enjoy watching!
