Last January 15, Radisson Blu Hotel rented the whole Sunburst Restaurant along the Mango Avenue in Cebu City PHilippines so that friends and guests of the 5-star hotel can enjoy the festivities comfortably, complete with overflowing foods and drinks.

Sinulog Festival 2012 Videos

Here are the videos I took during the recently concluded Sinulog Festival in Cebu City. Sinulog Festival is held every third Sunday of January in Cebu City Philippines.

Sinulog is a prayer dance offered to Senor Santo Nino. Chants of Viva Pit Senyor! Can be heard all over the city as the various contingent from Cebu and from other cities and provinces present their prayer dance number in a whole day streetdancing competition.

More Sinulog Festival 2012 Photos

Here are some more photos from the recently concluded Sinulog Festival in Cebu city. I was at the Queen City of the South from January 13-17.

There was just a lot of people moving around. I read from the news that the estimated crowd during the Sinulog highlight was somewhere between 3.8 to 4 million.

Thank God the weather is bright and sunny, compared to last year’s Sinulog where it rained cats and dogs.

Bailes de Luces Festival 2012

Last January 5 I was in La Castellana Negros Occidental to cover the annual celebration of the Bailes de Luces Festival. Every December 30 the town of La Castellana holds the street dancing competition while every January5th Bailes de Luces Arena competition is held at the town plaza.

This is one amazing festival that is better experienced by watching it live or videos rather than just staring at the photos. The interplay of lights is just so amazing.
