Bonok bonok returns to the Cebu Sinulog 2008!
Posted on December 20, 2007
I was recently sent an e-mail confirming the return of Surigao City’s Bonok Bonok Marajao Karajao Festival at the 2008 Cebu Sinulog Festival.
Bonok Bonok has been one of the perennial winners in the Queen City of the South’s biggest religious festival. It has been noted that Surigao’s festival, known to be one of the best in Mindanao, skipped the Sinulog festival for several years.

It is also interesting to note that the Kinaiyahan Festival of Dauin, Oriental Negros will also be seeing action at the Sinulog Festival 2008.
The city of Tangub in Misamis Occidental with its Tribu Sinanduloy will also be back to compete. The Tribu Sinanduloy is the defending in the Sinulog-Based Category of the festival. This time they will be attempting to finally claim the Grand Slam title by winning the Sinulog Based category for three years in a row.
