It’s that time of the year again. Are you ready for
one of the GRANDEST FESTIVALS in the Philippines? The Cebu’s Sinulog Festival!

I’ve joined the celebration for two consecutive years but for now, I will have to pass. My friends won’t miss it though! haha!

The celebration kicks off on the 1st day of January and ends on the third Sunday of the month. There’s a lot of activities during the grandest festival. You can check out the complete list of events at sugbo.ph.
