Silang attempts world record on ‘longest line’ of candles lit in relay
SILANG, Cavite – The local government here and the Catholic church here will attempt to break or make the “Longest Line of Candles” lit in relay for the Guinness World Records on January 22, 2023 as part of the celebration of the Feast of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria Parish.
According to the social media post of Silang Mayor Kevin Anarna, the town is set to seek for the first time the longest line of candles lit in a relay that will start in the historic church of Silang in the town proper to the new municipal hall grounds in Barangay Biga 1.
The volunteers who are employed in the municipality started rehearsing for the first Guinness World Records attempt as of this writing.
“Together with our Church, let’s come together on January 22nd, at 6:00 p.m. for the queue of people holding candles. Our town will be better known, not only in the whole Philippines but also in the whole world,” Mayor Anarna said in his social media post.
Also, as part of the fiesta celebration, there will be “Talentadong Silangeno” on January 29, 2023 and Silang Music Festival on February 3, 2023, featuring the Side A band, Jeloy Pilones, and Mayonnaise band at the new municipal hall grounds.
