For two years,
FaceCebu.net (FC) supports the Sinulog Festival by updating its readers and
followers with news and other statuses of the fete. This year, FC would love to
provide guides and tips to Cebuanos and travellers for easy and memorable
Sinulog experience – thus everybody would really feel that ITS MORE FUN IN
CEBU, PHILIPPINES!
These tips are
based on personal experience by the author and proven effective for everybody.
1.
Check your Outfit
Never top yourself with long-sleeved polos or thick
cotton shirts which for sure give you a hassle way of moving around. Wear thin
shirts – white tee will do.
Don’t wear jeans! Shorts but not too short shorts will
give you ease in walking and for sure, your body can freely breathe out.
No, no to heavy type shoes, espadrilles are good! If you
like, wear flip-flops or any slippers that fit the festivity.
Lastly, do not wear jewelleries. Leave all your shining
borloloys at home. Be simple!
2.
What to Bring?
A backpack which is not too big or small is cool. Just
bring finger foods for snacks, enough water for oneself to be well hydrated and
of course money put in a coin purse – not in a bulgy wallet! We are there to
enjoy, not attracting pickpocketers and other evil forces around us.
Note that foods, drinks and other stuffs will get higher
on that day, so better prepare and bring your own.
Prepare extra t-shirt and a face towel. We never predict
what could be the weather, so be prepared.
3.
Where to go? Prepare your
Sinulog Map!
Know your destination during the Sinulog festival! You
cannot travel and visit all the beautiful places in town, just choose where to
go and stick to it. In this way, you won’t be adding to the number of devotees
who actually don’t have plans where exactly to go as a result, adding pressure
to a heavier traffic not caused by transpos but of those people.
Check the list of Sinulog Events and decide prior or
before the day.
4.
Be with a Company
Don’t go alone. Sinulog can be enjoyed with lots of
company, as a commercial saying goes the Many-er, the merrier!
Enjoy the Festivity folks! Should you have
