Sinulog in Cebu 2007

The 'Sinulog' dance commemorates the Philippine nation's conversion to Christianity some four hundred years ago.

Members participate in performances dressed in colourful traditional costumes, while singing aloud, and dance a step in the same rhythm after the first two steps and then move one step more in a representation of the flowing waters of the Pahina River. This grand religious event attracts many people to participate - so come and join in, and enjoy tasty, traditional Filipino food afterwards!
