This afternoon, we in our office celebrated the Sto. NiÑo feast. We celebrate this feast every year. For this year, we opted to make it special by dancing and eating too. Last year, we celebrated the feast by prayers and a eating but there was no music that sounded like the one in Cebu City. Where there are parades and street dancing, just like the street party. The whole Cebu City is festive. This celebration is called Sinulog Festival, the feastival for the Sto. Niño, the baby Jesus.
Every department in our office contributed for the food and other things that will make the celebration successful and grand. In our department, we contributed 50 pesos each to buy cakes, breads, rice cakes (puto) and other things for the mouth to the stomach. Other departments contributed other foods, different from ours. There was barbecue, lumpia (vegetable-meat roll), maja blanka, and more. My co-employee, May, brought with her candles from Cebu City. These are the same candles that are used in the Sinulog Festival. she was there in the Sinulog Festival. According to some old, maybe, belief, when you make a wish and dance in the street in the feastival. Many people around the Philippines visit Cebu City for the Sinulog festival. Usuall, hotels and inns are fully booked. I have never experience Sinulog and the closest thing was the festival celebration that we were celebrating.
After the prayers, many of my office mates danced in the tune of Pit Señor! And I find it very intersting, since many of my office mates are from Cebu and they know how to dance pretty well. I am not a good ancer and I am already contented with clapping of my hands. After all the things we did, the celebration was a success and religiously well. VIVA STO. NIÑO!
