Members of Iglesia Filipina Independiente (Philippine Independent Church) in Mandaluyong City used a statue of Jesus Christ riding a donkey, as a universal celebration of Palm Sunday.  Greeted by cheering crowds waving palm branches, the procession is to commemorate the Christian belief in the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem.
