The 10 contingents were supposed to compete in Sinulog on Jan. 15, but backed out three days before the event due to safety concerns at the South Road Properties that hosted the festival for the first time. | nestleCDN /PDI
These include the Lumad Basakanon, Banay Labangon, Tribu Mabolokon of barangays Mabolo, Tejero, and Tisa.
While the city’s Sinulog is prominent and well attended, the first-ever Sinulog took place in Carmen in 1974 and has become the town’s annual festivity.“There is no desire to compete at all, but circumstances have forced us to take this course,” Garcia said.He said there was no reason to be mad at the 10 contingents who withdrew from the city’s Sinulog Grand Parade.
“It’s still ‘Pit Senyor.’ We need to rely on faith. That is important. May we never forget the essence of spirituality and religiosity, particularly our faith in Señor Sto. Niño,” Rama said.The mayor said he would not be able to attend the Sinulog sa Carmen as he did not receive an invitation from the provincial government or the Carmen local government.
Contingents, he said, were expected to arrive in Carmen on Friday and Saturday for their blocking and rehearsal.Garcia recently ordered a truck ban in Carmen and neighboring localities during the Sinulog sa Carmen on Jan. 22 and 23. The truck ban would be from midnight of Jan. 22 to midnight of Jan. 23 between Danao City and Carmen and the neighboring municipalities of Carmen and Catmon.
