The Sinulog celebration is more than just the popular street dancing, more than just the parade, parties and night out’s, the rhythm of drums, trumpets and native gongs…
The Sinulog celebration presents the image of the child Jesus, the Santo Niño, as the baptismal gift to the Cebuano’s. It is the moment of receiving the holy image as symbol of our Catholicism and acceptance to the Roman Catholic Church.
The deep essence of the Sinulog festival – the people’s faith , novena / mass, the prayers, the solemn procession, the fluvial reenactment, the child Jesus itself being praised… captured through my viewfinder.
