Exactly four days from now, one of the biggest and most festive (not to mention, wildest street party) event in the country will take place: Sinulog 2012!! Expect every streets in Cebu busy and jam-packed with locals, devotees and tourists! Who doesn’t hear the Sinulog music played over the streets of Osmena Blvd, Jones and Colon?
This weekend will be one best way (and excuse) to be and feel wild and free, and just forget everything!
