I live in Cebu City Philippines and every year, specifically every January, we celebrate the sinulog festival. This is to honor Sr. Sto. Niño, the baby Jesus, for protecting Cebu from calamities and tragedies, for good health and in the old days with what we call a bountiful harvest. The origin of which was introduced at the time of Spaniards in the 16th century. There is a nine day novena and there are three major highlights of the event: the fluvial parade and the reenactment ceremony of the baptism of the first Christians, the procession which is attended by almost a million people, and the sinulog parade for one day participated by foreign and local contingents with colorful costumes and maskaras dancing within a route. There are also higantes(giants)scaring or amazing children and floats participating with the countries popular actors and actresses in it. Street party follows at night where bands perform at everywhere. It is a very fun and lively. Can u imaging how fun it is? The celebration shows how Cebuanos pay tribute to God and how Cebu party as a community.
