One of the reasons why people from different walks of life visit Cebu, it is because of Sinulog. The name itself is derived from the Cebuano adverb “sulog” which means “flowing like a water movement”. It displays the most and the best colorful costumes, perfectly choreographed dance, wonderful creations of giants and floats.  This is done every year on the 3rd Sunday of January in honor of the patron saint Santo Niño.  With the belief that the patron saint showers them with good fortune and shields them from any danger and calamities.
