Brought mine to my pastor and he prayed over it. I've done the same for every vehicle that I've owned. No fees. No donations. He doesn't take any form of payment. A heartfelt thanks and a firm handshake concludes the ceremony.

The prayer is mostly giving thanks for the privilege and blessing of acquiring a new vehicle. And beyond praying to keep all occupants safe, it's also something of a dedication in that, you make a commitment that you only use the vehicle in a manner that will please the Lord. It's a faith thing that I'm sure a lot won't or refuse to understand.

A short prayer every time I buckle up keeps me (and my tires, in a manner of speaking) firmly planted on the ground. As they say; Keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.

No, I'm not some infallible holy man... far from it, in fact. Though, I try to do my best to keep that promise.

this "blessing" thing is still so pervasive in pinoy culture. buti nalang wala na masyadong exorcism and witchhunts

just proves PH is morally and intellectually backwards. wag kayo magalit. most people in civilized countries don't do this anymore

don't understand what "MOST" means?

i think this car blessing thing is mostly due to "gaya gaya". i mean these same people still buy comprehensive insurance LOL

I have all my cars blessed in the nearest parish church, usually before mass ka pa schedule para after mass lalabas nalang yung pari para blesingan.
May bayad , maliit lang, plus donation kung gusto mo. Isinasabay kona pa blesingan yung small rosary na nakasabit sa rearview mirror.

Yung 2010 ko na Starex , 2x na blesingan, kasi yung katulong namin saka yung youngest son ko may nakita daw tao nakaupo sa backseat, ngiii, kaya blessing ulit plus nilagyan kona ng pocket bible sa harapan.
I have my car blessed because of Faith, not necessarily religion.

tolerance, po.
to each, his own.

as my karate master used to say, "why break board? what it do to you?"

Its ironic some people espouse "civilization" yet are un-civilized by being intolerant of others beliefs.

no one wins a religion-based argument.
it's part of the definition.
