CEBU CITY — From a province-wide event to a national celebration. This was the city officials’ plan for the Sinulog Festival, one of the country’s prominent and most attended festivals. City
Sinulog dancers perform in the streets of Cebu City during the grand parade before the coronavirus struck the country in March 2020. The rituals in honor of the Seٌor Sto. Niٌo de Cebu is a demonstration of the Cebuanos’ faith. This was the city officials’ plan for the Sinulog Festival, one of the country’s prominent and most attended festivals.
Despite criticisms, Rama said next year’s Sinulog would still be held at the South Road Properties , Cebu City’s newest commercial hub that rose out of a city-developed 300-hectare reclamation area. The city, however, managed to finish the preparation by Sunday. It also did not rain as the sun came out after almost a week of nonstop rain.
The 70 participants who joined this year’s Sinulog, however, were fewer than the 105 that joined in 2020 before the lockdowns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
