An armed policeman (L) stands guard as Roman Catholic devotee Jeffrey Francisco carries a cross during a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Zamboanga City, in the Philippine's southern island of Mindanao on April 2, 2010. Roman Catholic bishops in the Philippines recently criticised the traditional Easter rituals of people publicly whipping themselves or having themselves crucified. About 75 million Filipinos, out of a national population of 93 million, are Catholics, a legacy of the country's Spanish colonial past.
