CEBU – Heavy rains on Sunday did not stop Catholic devotees from participating in one of the Philippines’ grandest religious festivals in Cebu – the Sinulog.
Over 2 million people from various parts of the country and even from abroad, joined the Sinulog parade in Cebu City.
Colored floats and different costumes by contingents many of them carrying the infant Jesus, snaked throughout the city’s roads and chanting “Viva Santo Niño” while security forces enforced tight measures around Cebu.

Senator Joseph Victor “JV” Ejercito, who is seeking re-election, also congratulated Cebu officials for the rousing success of annual festival which showcased the talent of the Cebuanos’ interpreted in various activities and programs that entertained the spectators.
Ejercito said he admires the Cebuanos for preserving and promoting the Filipino rich tradition and culture through the Sinulog Festival using modern style of performances and displays without losing its religious roots and content, which is a deep expression of honor, faith, and complete devotion to the Beloved Santo Niño.
“We Filipinos should be thankful to the local officials of Cebu and their partners in the private sector and all the Cebuanos for giving us a very lively, joyful, and memorable Sinulog Festival every year and I hope this will inspire us to contribute our share, whether individually or collectively, in promoting and preserving our rich heritage amid rapid social transformation and modernization,” he said.
Cebuanos, just like those in Mindanao and Luzon, are strong supporters of Ejercito, who is included in the top 12 of the recent SWS senatorial survey.
