Lingayen, just like in any other places in the Philippines, celebrates the Holy Week yearly. As a Christian they believe that this celebration is the time for them to ask forgiveness for everything, and to give thanks. People of Lingayen go to the Church with there family, friends and participate with the ceremony, listen to the priest's sermon, and to pray.
During Holy Weeks, people of Lingayen, and from nearby towns usually starts to walk from their towns going to the Manaoag Church. Filipino people call this as "panata". Many Filipinos perform a panata, which has come to mean a repayment for a prayer or wish that was granted.
