Meet the men who are crucified on Good Friday
During the Good Friday in Philippines, Men there whipe their backs untill they are totally full of blood and allow themselves to be crucified. It's a decades old practice that takes place predominantly in Pampanga province by devout Catholics as a penance or to give thanks to God.
Rolando Ocampo, 56, has been crucified every year since 1990 as a sign of his gratitude to God. He says God miraculously saved his wife from a difficult child birth in that year.
