Its interesting to know one observance of fasting. Personally, I think fasting should not be what is perceived by the general public but more on personal virtue. I decided to forgo facebook, rice and meat as I have all 3 in abundance. So for the whole 40 days, I went on without facebook and rice but unfortunately not for meat (only on Friday) as we all eat together as family and most of the time we have 1 dish and a rice which is difficult to abstain and normally that 1 dish is meat. I also believe that during the Lenten season there should be no wastage as well.
In my opinion, as Bantayan Island has abundance of seafood and fish, meat should be eaten rather than fish when one is fasting. Thanks for the enlightenment!
