First Things First

This is my Steemit initiative, to travel the Philippines and showcase her beauty to the world through Steemit.com. With your help and support for my posts, I will be able to accomplish this goal in due time.

My trip to Cebu City, Philippines was made possible by Steemit through the kind hearts of all of you who supported my posts to gather funds for the Sinulog 2018 trip. But I’d like to mention those who have regularly, unselfishly, tirelessly and continuously upvoting my posts and I am ever grateful for their kind soul.

Please accept my thanks, my dear Steemian friends: @darthnava, @nxtblg, @supassinggoogle, @arcange, @raphaelle, @livingfree, @ahlawat, @onlineprds, @sultan-aceh, @juliank and @photocontests, @joalvarez, @hrhabibur, @mimbel, and everyone who joins the #colorchallenge and voted for my posts. THANK YOU!

And now, come with me and let me tell you a story.

The Sinulog 2018, perhaps the most celebrated festival in Cebu, if not in the whole Philippines. The details on budget, itinerary, and the like will be presented at the last part of this report. You can jump right to it if that is the information you need.

Sinulog Festival

One of the most celebrated festival and the most awaited event of the year is the Sinulog to honor Baby Jesus, Sr. Santo Nino for the blessing He brought to the Cebuanos. This festival is celebrated every 3rd of January of every year. Coincidentally, this same celebration is also happening in Kalibo, Aklan.

Cebu and Cebu City Map

Called the “Queen of the South”, Cebu City is one of the most highly urbanized locality in the Philippines. Home to many popular artists, actors, multi-million dollar businesses, and historical sites, it has indeed earned its namesake, the Queen.

Superheroes on the loose!
Our police and firemen are ever ready to assist.
Abundance in food this year, is what these kids are dancing about.
A groufie is always evident in this scenario.
You think they're all smiles and beauty? They will endure the day's challenge so better feed them right.
The heroes on the sidelines. Don't forget they can smile, too ;-)
