Each January the Sinulog Festival allows people to venerate the Santo Niño (Holy Child Jesus) by celebrating his divine presence through religious dance performances. For me this cultural observance means much more than a festival since it allows physical devotion through sacred movement.

The day began with intense excitement as everyone gathered early to start the journey. In that moment we witnessed a vibrant display of costumes together with the loud pulse of drum music and the energetic discussions among dancers that filled the place with positive vibes.

Our stage for the initial part of the performance wasn't a grand platform but the back of a dump truck!Yes,you read that right.We piled onto the truck, costumes billowing in the wind, laughter filling the air.It was a unique and hilarious experience

a testament to the community spirit that makes Sinulog so special.Bouncing along we made our way to the starting point of the street dance.The street performance was an absolute rush.Imagine dancing your heart out the infectious rhythm of the drums driving you forward while shouting Viva Pit Señor with hundreds of other devotees.

The energy of the crowd was electrifying.Strangers cheered us on their smiles radiating warmth and encouragement.It was a powerful feeling a shared expression of faith and joy that transcended all boundaries.For those few minutes we were all united in our devotion to the Santo Niño.

After the street dance we finally reached the main stage.The stage lights displayed a brilliant glare which brought intense thrill among the surrounding crowd as the music kept getting louder.This was it the moment we had all been waiting for.

Her dance performance during the Sinulog Queen contest demonstrated remarkable talent. When she entered the stage (or the parade route) she instantly attracted all eyes. The dance movements she performed resembled a graceful flying bird. She combined traditional Sinulog dance routines with her individual approach in a remarkable fashion. Her performance made every audience member feel the music just like she did.

But the most magical part of the day is Seeing my family in the crowd.My mother and my aunts their faces beaming with pride were there to support me every step of the way.Their presence was a source of strength and encouragement making the entire experience even more meaningful. Knowing they were there cheering me on the middle of the crowd with a warmth that words can not express.It was a reminder of the unconditional love and support I have in my life.
