00:00 Many provinces in Cebu joined the street dancing
00:04 in the Sinulog Festival, BIT-BIT.
00:07 Their costumes are colorful, talented and rich in culture.
00:11 This is the story of Rod Lagusan.
00:14 The celebration of Cebu City in the Sinulog Festival this year was joyful and loud.
00:25 The hot weather is not a coincidence.
00:27 Because of the hot weather, people in Cebu
00:30 and people from other places joined the festival.
00:34 Some of them were eager to see the different floats and floats
00:38 in the street dance competition.
00:40 Telma came from Talisay City with her family.
00:43 It's better now, there are more people than before.
00:47 It's joyful, I can say that it's joyful now.
00:51 We endured the hot weather so we can see the Sinulog.
00:57 The parade of the different groups in the Sinulog was also joyful.
01:01 In the morning, we watch the Sinulog.
01:04 Even though it's hot, we're still here enjoying the Sinulog.
01:07 It's joyful to be in the Sinulog.
01:10 This year, the number of people in the street dance competition increased
01:14 because not only people from Cebu joined the festival.
01:17 Some provinces outside Cebu are now alone.
01:21 Like Talisay City, Bacolod City, Negros Oriental
01:24 and the surrounding Dinagat Islands.
01:27 They brought their rich culture
01:29 along with their colorful costumes and beautiful performances.
01:34 This is the first time that Dinagat Islands joined the street dance competition in Sinulog.
01:38 The local government is trying to introduce their province to the Filipinos.
01:43 This is also a continuation of the revival of the Udet typhoon in 2021.
01:48 This is also an opportunity for the province to correct the misconceptions in the province.
01:53 They say that we've been hiding our identity for a long time.
01:58 They say that we're bad people.
02:01 But we joined to show the world that we're not bad people.
02:06 We're united.
02:10 We have a big culture.
02:13 This will also help to attract people to visit their province
02:18 who are interested in good and rich people.
02:20 Meanwhile, this group is also very noticeable
02:23 who are from a faraway galaxy
02:25 because of their theme, Star Wars.
02:27 That's why the fans can't help but take pictures
02:30 of the famous characters from the famous movie franchise.
02:33 Why Star Wars? Because we love sci-fi, we love space.
02:36 We are born and bred here in Cebu
02:39 and most of us here are from here.
02:41 And we support Sinulog every year for the last almost 10 years.
02:45 And a lot of these people right here behind me
02:48 are from our fellow Southeast Asian neighbors
02:50 and even East Asia like Taiwan and Korea.
02:52 In the Department of Tourism,
02:54 the celebration of Sinulog is a fruit of the culture
02:57 that our country has.
02:58 That are invaluable assets that can captivate the entire world.
03:04 The Sinulog Festival is a testament to this truth.
03:07 A celebration that embodies the fusion of faith, history, and artistry.
03:13 A dance of devotion that tells the story of the faith of the Cebuanos
03:19 and reflects the best of the Filipino and the entire Filipino nation.
03:24 The great devotion of the devotees of Santo Niño
03:27 is a part of the recognition of Cebu and other places in our country.
03:32 This is a proof of the rich culture that the Philippines has.
03:36 Rod Laguzan, for the people.
