Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama Confirms Sinulog Resumes Physical Festivities In 2023
SINULOG 2023 – Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama announced Sinulog is set to resume its physical celebrations in January 2023.
One of the grandest and largest festivals in the Philippines is the Sinulog Festival. The festival is conducted every third Sunday of January to honor the Child Jesus. It is believed to be the protector of the city and its constituents.
The ceremony, which is performed through dancing, depicts the Pinoy people’s paganism and embrace of Christianity. Surely many people are wondering if the much-awaited event in Cebu will push through next year.
Based on a report from ABS-CBN, Cebu City Mayor Mike Rama announced that Sinulog is set to resume its physical celebrations in January 2023.
The politician made this announcement the day after the “Pasigarbo sa Sugbo, Festivals of Festivals” winners were revealed on Monday. After a two-year hiatus, the Pasigarbo event, organized by the provincial government of Cebu, was also held in person. Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, Cebu has been hosting virtual events in connection with the Sinulog since 2021.
