Many Catholic devotees in the Philippines had themselves nailed on crosses and whipped their backs bloody on Good Friday, as part of their "panata" or religious vow.

The rites, which are held annually in parts of the country such as the city of San Fernando in Pampanga and Boac, Marinduque, draw thousands of spectators.

Please be advised that some of the images may be graphic.
