sinulog beat

for five consecutive years i’m always excited to hear the sinulog beat being played everywhere i go. the fiesta feel never fails to remind me of my hometown. banderitas, posters, hot air baloons and street vendors selling sto niños, native goods and a whole lot more sorround the streets of Cebu City announcing the merriment to come. Somehow, the festival made me realize some things in life. by all means, you’ll be able to observe the joy of Cebuanos in leaps and bounds. Most of all, i am amazed by the faith of the devotees who would come here in Cebu City to fulfill their devotion to sr. sto niño every year. Somehow it made me rethink of my faith as a catholic. i am also amazed with those people who patiently waited outside the cathedral just to see the sr.sto niño inside. some even brought plastic chairs with them, umbrellas in case of rain and other practical things they need. beyond the things that i’ve seen, i know that there are so many unfathomable things i’ve yet to know.
