Cebu has been a second home to our dear brothers and sisters from South Korea. That's why most of them are close to our hearts as we are influenced by their culture, food, and music not to mention the KPOP craze to millennials and young at heart. On 2019, South Koreans will surprise us with their guest performance in the country's largest festival, the Sinulog Festival! It was reported on Cebu Daily News that representatives from Wonju Dynamic Dancing Carnival will grace our Festival next year!

“This is the first time in Sinulog history that there are foreign contingents who will be guest performers,” said Councilor Dave Tumulak, Sinulog Foundation Inc. (SFI) overall chairman. “(Representatives from) Wonju Dynamic Dancing Carnival sent a communication to SFI, stating they want to join Sinulog 2019,” he added. (Source: CDN)

I bet everyone is excited for next year's Sinulog! Trivia: Our very own Tribu Lumad Basakanon represented Cebu's Sinulog Festival last year in South Korea's Wonju Dynamic Dancing Carnival and they won third place! Viva Pit Sinyor!

It's Sinulog week, Viva! When it comes to Sinulog Festival, Cebuanos are known to be very hospitable to every tourist who are visiting the beautiful island, Cebu. That's why some love to stay for good here in our city. Millions (allow me to exaggerate) of Visitors from different Regions and Countries will come and celebrate the mother of all festivals in the Country, the Sinulog 2018! Aside from the annual Sinulog devotion, culture and tradition, Cebu is known on staging the best outdoor parties in the country. And on Saturday, the party never stops! Put your hands in the air as Plus63 Music And Arts Festival Brings the Dutch Duo, Showtek!

3. DATE and TIME - January 20, 2018 (Saturday) Party starts at 7PM till late.


4. ARTISTS - Last year, they staged Steve Aoki. On weekend, they will bring Dutch Duo, Showtek. If you're a first-time party goer, you would ask, "Who are they?" According to Wikipedia, Showtek is a Dutch electronic dance music duo consisting of two brothers, Sjoerd Janssen (born April 6, 1984) and Wouter Janssen (born August 30, 1982).[2] The duo regularly manages to reach the top of multiple music charts and work with artists such as Tiësto, Chris Brown and David Guetta.

8. SHARE ONLINE! - I bet you knew it already! When in Cebu, Sun is faster and amazing! It is very reliable in terms of text, call and of course, data connection.
