Foreigners keep on visiting our country, Philippines. It's because we have lots to offer. First, we have beautiful and mostly natural tourist spots. Another is we have citizens that are hospitable and friendly to everybody. Lastly, the festivity. We have fiestas that cannot be compared to any country. We have unique festivals which reflects different cultures we have and described what place you are in. Also, it just shows how religious we are Filipinos.
Talking about festival, we have many to show. one of our country's biggest festival is the Sinulog in Cebu. It was held during third Sunday of the month of January. This commemorates Filipino's pagan origin, and the acceptance of Roman Catholicism. Not only Cebu celebrates Sinulog, Maasin City, So. Leyte and Balingasag, Misamis Oriental do. This is to honor Senior Sto. Nino. Usually, it features street parade, sea parade with boats full of flowers and candles and a Sinulog dance. Filipinos from different places don't mind the distance they would go as long as they could celebrate Sinulog with Cebuanos and other Filipinos. Some even came from abroad. They went home with the intention of joining Sinulog celebration. As what I always seen on TV, crowds is really present. It was a long distance of walking since vehicles can't pass the way anymore because of the crowd. Despite the rains or heat of the sun, they take it for granted for them to feel the real essence of Sinulog.
It's maybe everybody's wish to attend Sinulog Festival. No wonder why many love to go. Imagining about it, one will get excited and looking forward to attending festival like this. What a great event we had. A really tourist catching festival.
GOD BLESS!!!
