Every January, we always look forward to Cebu's Sinulog Festival, a month-long celebration of the people of Cebu to honor The Santo Nino. It culminates with a grand street dance parade featuring dancers with bright and colorful costumes. A little bit of history: The word "Sinulog" comes from a Cebuano word "sulog" which means "like water movement", which describes the forward-backward movement of the Sinulog dance (source: wikipedia.org).
