A lesser known version of the Soledad is venerated in Nueva Ecija. In a leaflet written and published by Jaime C. Laya, he narrated that the icon has occupied a niche above a side altar of the town church and that it was honored in a fluvial procession on the Rio Grande de Pampanga. This tradition was held from the mid-19th century till the 1920s. In 1982, the image mysteriously vanished. It was thought to have been stolen but no police records exist to support this.
