The Sinulog festival in Cebu is one of the biggest and most stunning events in Philippines having very abundant history. This is held every third Sunday of January to honor Santo Niño (Infant Jesus), who is the patron saint of Cebu.
Sinulog is a dance ritual in honor of the miraculous image of the Santo Nino. The dance moves to the sound of the drums and this resembles the current (Sinulog) of what was then known as Cebu’s Pahina River. Thus, in Cebuano, they say it’s Sinulog.
