Feel the beat, feel the rhythm

Finally, the most awaited event of the year is just around the corner. The Sinulog buzz is in the air as bazaars have finally lined up the streets and selling everybody’s favorite goods.

We can all see (and feel) it now. The sea of people, the addicting beats, the humid air, the sticky feel of sweat and the extreme excitement of spectators and Sinulog fans. Not to mention the stomach churning, eardrum busting music that fills the air throughout the day.

Yet every true-blue partygoer will confess that he wont mind the blaring music, the excruciating heat of the sun or the crushing sea of people. No – in fact, that’s what makes the event so great!
Hundreds of people, one calling: Sñr. Sto. Niño.

Sure, everybody goes to the city to party but deep within that party thrive is a much deeper reason. To celebrate and give thanks to Sñr. Sto. Niño.

People come from far and wide, filling the streets of Colon, Jones and the Abellana Sport’s Complex in search for the best spot and party among the rest of the Cebuanos.

So on January 15, 2012 be swept away by the 2012 Sinulog Grand Parade. Finally experience the intoxicating wonders of this event. Listen to the incredible sounds of the drums and dance to their beat!

Be fascinated by enchanting floats, towering higantes, and comical puppeteers. Join the crowd and be dazzled by the exotic beauties of the Festival Queens and their dancers. Watch as participant after participant passes you by, dancing their dances for the one and only Sto. Niño.

So what are you waiting for? Be part of the party crowd. Get that backpack ready and plan your trip (if you’re from outside Cebu). Be part of the sea of people, dance to the addicting beat of the Sinulog, smell the humid air and feel the extreme excited during the Sinulog Grand Parade. After all, you can’t call yourself a true devotee unless you’ve experience the height of the Sinulog craze.

Blessed Pedro Calungsod "The 2nd Filipino Saint"

Pedro Calungsod was a 17th century teenage catechist of the Jesuit mission in the Marianas. On April 2, 1672 he was killed for his faith together with Bl. Diego San Luis Vitoris, SJ in Guam. The canonization process for Pedro Calungsod started on June 25, 1998. On March 5, 2000 he was declared a "beatus". On December 19, 2011 a miracle through his intercession was approved.

FULL TEXT OF POPE BENEDICT XVI'S HOMILY AT MASS OPENING FOR YEAR OF FAITH

Photo Credit: 100% Katolikong Pinoy Dear Brother Bishops, Dear Brothers and Sisters Today, fifty years from the opening of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, we begin with great joy the Year of Faith. I am delighted to greet all of you, particularly His Holiness Bartholomaois I, Patriarch of Constantinople, and His Grace Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. A special greeting goes to the Patriarchs and Major Archbishops of the Eastern Catholic Churches, and to the Presidents of the Bishops’ Conferences. In order to evoke the Council, which some present had the grace to experience for themselves – and I greet them with particular affection – this celebration has been enriched by several special signs: the opening procession, intended to recall the memorable one of the Council Fathers when they entered this Basilica; the enthronement of a copy of the Book of the Gospels used at the Council; the consignment of the seven final Messages of the Council, and of the Catechism...
