The feast of Santo Niño is approaching and our feet are itching to walk the streets of the city again. Two years after we’ve shouted “Pit Senyor!” at the top of our lungs, this year’s Sinulog is looking bigger and brighter. With much excitement, Sinulog festivities kicked off last January 6.
The Sinulog fever is real and we’ve found the perfect ways for you to sweat it out. We made it easier for you to catch up on Sinulog activities or continue celebrating at upcoming events.
