Why Do We Celebrate Sinulog?

The Sinulog Festival is a lively celebration that lasts for 9 days, and it is typically held on the 3rd Sunday of January n honor of the Child Jesus in the city of Cebu. It is not only celebrated in Cebu but its celebrated in the whole Philippines!

The word Sinulog comes from the Cebuano adverb sulog which roughly means "like water current movement.

The city center is exactly where the festival’s core events were being held. walking wasn’t such an easy task since you had to go through various locations that were ridiculously packed with people.

(Sinulog #ootd consists of shorts, cropped sinulog top, sneakers and of course a headress!!!)

Come night time, the grand parade typically ends and the street dancers will do their final performance at the Cebu City Sports Complex.

No wonder this celebration is visited by foreigners! And again, it’s seriously amazing how everyone manages to brave through such an ordeal and Kudos to Mayor Tomas Osmeña for giving the peace and order of the celebration and bringing back the true meaning of Sinulog Festival.
