Last January 21,I flew to Cebu City, known as the Quen City of the South for the annual celebration of the Sinulog Festival. I got overwhelmed by the number of tourists visiting Cebu during the festivities. What’s even more overwhelming is the number of groups competing at the Sinulog.There are fifty competing groups coming from all over Cebu province and from neighborng provinces.The grand parade started at9 in the morning and ended at 7 in the evening. It was very very tiring, but still, I enjoyed every moment of it.
The Tribu Sinanduloy of Tangub City, Misamis Occidental emerged as the grand champion in the Sinulog-Based category of the recently concluded Cebu Sinulog Festival. The group also won the Best in Streetdance award. Their total winnings amounted to 1 Million Pesos.
In Sinulog Festival, they are usually the most beautiful lady wearing the most colorful costume paired with the most intricate headress. You can easily spot them during the parade. They are usually right in front, holding the miraculous image of the Santo Niño.
Here’s the first batc of the photos I took during the Recenty-concluded Sinulog Festival. As expected, the Tribu Sinanduloy of Tangub City took home the grand prize in the Sinulog-based category, while the group Lumad Basakanon won the overall title in the Free Interpretation Category
