Balloons from the Sinulog Festival
An explosion of colors from the balloons being sold at the gates of the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño in Cebu City, Philippines. Cebu city has recently held its annual Sinulog Festival in honor of the infant Christ, locally known as Santo Niño.

The original image of the Santo Niño was said to have been given by the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan to Queen Juana and Rajah Humabon. This, then led to the couple’s conversion into Christianity.
