Cebu is the country's oldest city. Frequently called the " Queen City of the South" and the center of Christianity in the Philippines. Cebu has a very rich historic past which made the Cebuano's truly proud particularly their cultural and historical heritage. Recently, Cebu has become the country's favorite destination. Not only because of its splendid tourist spots but also because of true-blooded Cebuano's who have the worth-emulating characteristics toward his fellowmen and to the foreigners.
Primarily, Cebu is best renowned of their various festivals. And one of these eminent feasts is the SINULOG. It is Cebu's biggest and illustrious feast which is celebrated every 3rd Sunday of January in honor of the holy image of Señor Sto. Niño. Fiesta Señor, as it is commonly known, is the most celebrated among Cebu's festivals because this is where hundreds of pious people are gathered together to glorify the Sto. Niño.
The highlight of the festival is the mardigras type parade plunged with the throng of awesome dancers coupled with their multi-colored costumes. With the groovy beating of drums one can't resist but to dance simultaneously at the same time ceaselessly taking pictures of the wondrous picturesque scenes.
Lots of contingents from different places of Cebu are performing for it is also a competition and whichever groups attract the judge's and crowd's heart may receive the worthy prize. But what makes it wonderful is the fact that, either they win or lose the competition, it ain't a big deal for somehow an offer for the Sto. Niño. Just how amazing Cebuanos are?
