Thanks for watching! What do you think about this year's event? We have been having a great time exploring Cebu since the event so stay tuned for those vlogs after our Vietnam series!😀 Check out our Facebook for more vlogs until then: facebook.com/TriFateLifestyle
This is disappointing😔 but based from the Island Nomad's page, The event started with a solemn mass at the grandstand at around 9AM. The carousel parade then started and each participants presented at the grandstand. At around 8PM, the program ended with a 10-min grand fireworks display. The crowd was estimated to be at 600k+.
Please check the video of TG Nomad. You can see the street party in Colon and Fuente Osmena streets. TG Nomad is just a new vlogger, a young American who studies in Cebu.
Unfortunately, we Cebuanos were not unified at this year's Sinulog due to political tensions and for the first time they changed the main venue, hoping to see it better next time around, Hope you guys had a great time here in Cebu. :)🥳😉🙃
Another thing is, the organizer and the local government tried to please the biggest sponsors by changing the venue near them. It was so awful and not very well thought. Changing the venue just for Sponsor's sake
@@gpaderx6105 maojud.. imo, aside nga mas ganahan ko sa old venue.. mas nindot ang ‘acoustics’ sa cebu city proper.. unlike sa srp dako kaayong lugar sa halapad nga dagat.. padung pa gani me sm wala mi kahibaw nagsugod na diay.. hehehe 😁
I enjoyed my Sinulog experience in the past. Looks like they changed the venue though Cebu is already congested and traffic even before. You also need to witness Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival (considered as Best Tourism Event in the Phils) after your visit in Cebu, that would be next Sunday. 😊
Too bad you and many people missed the festival events because you were all waiting at the wrong place. Main venue was in front of NuStar hotel or near it. It started on time as scheduled. Anyways, the events can be watched in Mergim Vlogs who was able capture it from morning to evening. Also in Make It Happen vlog of Mike, and Zoe&Czar Vlog. Good efforts though!
Probably no proper instruction or guides were provided on the road/street.. Not everyone would know to search it online. Sorry guys. This is the first for everyone even for locals. After they change the venue
Yeah I agree with you. This year was possibly the worst Sinulog I’ve ever experienced. Everybody was really confused due to the political tension and change of venue.
I love your HONEST opinion. The new Sinulog route is chaotic compared to the traditional route. It was a costly experimental decision but well, the Sinulog Foundation and their PR Team said it was a success. I’m a local but NO WAY i’m going to head to that new location next year.
The Sinulog in the past is very different from the Sinulog 2023 today because of the new venue itself. If you visit like Fuente or Mango Avenue you can feel their the fest where people gets wild, having parties on the streets and have paints everywhere in the faces. I thought I would see you in person because I'm from Cebu anyway love from Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭
@@juandelacruz8322 like duh cause I experienced it myself though. Like what you can do there is to roam around the Mall and anything else. Unlike before duh. Maybe you experienced differently from what I've experienced in Sinulog 2023 but I'm just stating what I've experienced in Sinulog 2023.
There were 3 Vloggers I saw who had a different experience, it was more live and people were throwing colors at them. They also captured the dancers and float like it should be. Too bad you guys didn’t get the full experience.
@@bernadettesanjuan7255 well they did according to their vlog, it’s a matter of talking to the right people. I think Mergim Vlogs and Travelwith_Success had the best experience from this Festival.
@@annilynfabillar4485 yea I saw Mergim’s color crazy experience. I wouldn’t have survived that crowd. I’m too old for that type of activity lol. I think TriFate better off didn’t get into that. It would have been too hectic.
Boring Yang dinagyang..para kalang nanooud Ng street dance..unlike SA sinulog na AMG MGA Tao Mismo ang nagpaparty SA kalye.wild,lively full of revelry 😄
@@cebuelitemachinesinc.1995 toxic ka talaga! Di naman sabay sa Sinulog mo ang Dinagyang. Kung gustong pumunta sa Dinagyang bakit mo pipigilan? Sinulog and Dinagyang are just the offshoot of the original Ati-Atihan in Kalibo, a three-day revelry. Dinagyang started in the late 60s, Sinulog came later.
@@elyserva7903 he's just speaking the truth. but you;re all celebrating Santo Nino right? Must you forget Santo Nino was given to a Santo Nino in Cebu back in the 15th century. Cebu is where catholicism started. Original parin ang Cebu. Though mother of festivals ang dinagyan but it's not the biggest, grandest, most epic fun, nor the festival of the festivals in the country.
Mergim Vlogs knew what he was doing. Festivals like Sinulog, you should not only be a spectator. Join the fun, interact wth the performers. Have fun learning the dance steps, etc...
@@janongski pretty much they got it their way LOL I’d say lack of effort, they want the fun served to them in a silver platter. They could’ve done more research or as an influencer…it’s easy for them to tap more people in LGU or the organizers.
sorry to hear you had a bad experience in Cebu, as someone who also considered visiting Sinulog this year, the news of this year's preparations hasn't been great. hopefully you can still have a better experience next time. If you still don't have any strict plans for this weekend (21&22), you might consider travelling to neighboring islands, Iloilo City is celebrating Dinagyang and Bacolod City is celebrating Bacolaudiat (Chinese Lunar New Year!) and Dinagsa as well in Cadiz City!
You are in the area where the parade is about to end. You should stay in the area in Fuente Osmena Avenue in the Circle where the parade starts. It starts at 9am, and because you’re at the end at the parade, the parade line is long. Next time, book in one of the hotels in Fuente Osmena one year ahead where you can go up the hotel while watching the parade and sleep, and come down to continue watching the parade. Choose the hotel where parade passes by on the street it is located
Sinulog parade is so long that parade starts at 9am where the it starts and ends at 7pm in the evening. It is meant to be the longest parade in the world. This was about 10 years ago the last time we watched the parade.
Thats true. The Sinulog 2023 last Sunday is much different from the past because of the new venue of the parade which is far from the business district. If you only go to Colon and Fuente Osmena streets ( the original venue ) instead, you would experience the gathering of mass of people who still celebrated it in traditional ways where thousands of people became crazy wild, squeezing each other and had paints on their faces like a street party.
If I'm from cebu I would never vote for a mayor who is not catholic. Remember Cebu is the birthplace of catholicism in the Philippines. Don't vote for a non catholic next time Cebuanos.
Love your honesty as always and that you never fawn over stuff just to please the viewers. Seriously though, you guys put some other Pinoys -- myself included -- to shame just with the sheer love and interest you have shown for the Philippines and Filipino culture. We sometimes favor everything foreign more than our own and you guys inspire us to love and appreciate all things Pinoy. I hope your Cebu itinerary includes Oslob and Kawasan falls, you won't regret it. My best memory of Cebu is swimming so close to a whale shark I could touch it; and that specific moment still haunts me to this day, not in a nightmarish kind of way, in a very good way. Canyoneering in Kawasan left my butt bruised for over a week but I'd do it all over again if I could. So, enjoy, eat your bizcuit, wear sunscreen, and stay safe, ya bunch of frackers! 💯
Hey guys! I’m also from Minnesota but born and raised in Bacolod City. There is a festival this weekend called Bacolaodiat. You can actually catch the Ceres bus from Cebu to Bacolod. Make sure it’s the aircon bus. While in Bacolod, make sure you go to Manokan Country and try the chicken inasal. Enjoy your time!
Sorry to know that 🫨 but Mergim vlog really had sooo much fun at sinulog don't know which area he was but yeah lots of confusion on proper schedules definite venues etc
next weekend, thats satuday & sunday is Iloilo City's Dinagyang Festival, im now in Cebu for how many years, and i miss it in our province, Iloilo. Hope you can do it biscuit boyz, enjoy your stay here in our place, my second province here in our contry, Cebu😊
That was expectations vs reality indeed! Being so excited to witness the festival parades for u guys but turned out to bit disappointed somehow... We understand the kind of stress you guys experienced from lacked of sleep and rest after your arrival in Cebu... Nevertheless DUCKY was lucky enough to be part of the trip.... Still an"EPIC" journey... Hope you see more adventure in Cebu... #fullSupportAsAlwaysTRIFATE💕🤗
You have to consider it's post covid, new venue and been raining the past few days. Just because it didn't turn our well this year doesn't mean it sucks. That's why is the biggest... Here are some Sinulog vlogs to check out.. there's a lot more, but just stick to these one.. Most recent 2023 = vlogger having a great time.. ua-cam.com/video/E9TsXg0nyFs/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MergimVlogs ua-cam.com/video/7W5wC-qOwjo/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MergimVlogs ua-cam.com/video/FGxbGWz0fPI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=Zoe%26Czar Sinulogs in the past.. ua-cam.com/video/saMh6aFwmTI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=MakingithappenVlog ua-cam.com/video/qD7Vd9w-m-o/v-deo.html&ab_channel=FlyingKell = CHECK THIS OUT ua-cam.com/video/NXdLeUNkmBk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=BuhayniTal-LivingFilipino ua-cam.com/video/LGjXB3t58M0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=EscapingComfortZone ua-cam.com/video/Z0zqEyXe6xk/v-deo.html&ab_channel=TheJuicyVlog
Unfortunately they were waiting at the wrong place. It was not a failure at all, lt started on time as scheduled near NuStar hotel. Watch Mergim vlog, Making It Happen, and Zoe&Czar Vlogs. They were able to capture the excitement of the festival events.
@@eds7933I'm sure the boys' lack of sleep affected their energy during the day, and probably their patience. But as they narrated in their vlog, they clearly asked multiple people, multiple times about when and where they could watch the parade. They checked the published schedules even before flying to Cebu. Even the locals around them were confused and disappointed. That's clearly a failure on the part of this year's festival organizers. They did not properly disseminate information about the performance venues and the parade route, because if they did, majority of the crowd would have known. The event area would have signs and schedules posted everywhere. Not to mention several towns chose not to participate this year due to issues with the venue. Just because some people had a better time and knew all the right places doesn't mean it's automatically a resounding success. (Not to mention most vloggers filter their opinions and only post positive comments because that's better for engagement. These boys have always been honest in their opinions and that's why most of their viewers love them for it.) The quicker people accept the valid criticism, the sooner you can figure out what to do better for next year's festival.
You can enjoyed our Sto. Niño Ati Atihan Festival in Kalibo, Aklan, you can join any group you want to join in street dancing in different beats of the drums from tribal to modern Ati Atihan. You will be amazed by the colorful costumes, some tribal groups use charcoal and body paint in their body.We celebrate it every third Sunday of January.
Since you both are in cebu now don't forget to experience swimming with whales n sardines run at moal boal then do canyoneering at kawasan falls,so many things to enjoy n experiences in cebu have fun and enjoy keep safe God bless😍❤️🙏🙏🙏
I saw other vloggers right in the thick of the parade they went to side streets and got their faces painted. Perhaps it was way too early when you came in. Nothing eve starts on time in Philippines. It’s also the first time they held it in 2 years due to covid. Sinulog typically is rowdy with lots of costumes and parade and paint. People yelling pit senor. Fire works at night.
We feel you guys 😩 it’s really curious that literally no other vloggers mentioned the delays?? Epic editing 😅 can’t wait to see more Cebu vlogs - and your adventures in Vietnam! Get some rest!!
You're frustrations are valid. Seven hour delay is just ridiculous. Kudos to both of your patience. I'd be like "fvck this, I'm going home" 😂 Am glad you still had fun though. Thank you for showing us a part of the parade. Hope you have fun in Cebu!
The parade started early like 7:30AM but you just had to find the parade route. You should be in City di Mare because that's one of the parade stations. I was able to watch some vloggers uploading videos in which they went there as early as 10AM and they were dancing and having so much fun (i.e. travelwith_success, making it happen, Zoe&car,, our sweet hideout, mergim vlogs, etc.)
So true but they tend to rely on handouts and posting in the website of government which is most of the time unreliable. Maybe they are not able to talk to the right people and just goes with the flow or what the posters in their area tells. Watching the vlog is also disappointing since they just roam around the mall and stand in the sun. But this is not their fault at the very least. Maybe they were just simply at the wrong place and did not plan very well

it's too hot from 10am. then we went back home at 3pm. The Organizer(Local Government) was not well prepared. the street dancing was not well organized. lack of contingents. we decided to get inside the Mall and then went back home.
Hi Trifate.. please checkout and come to Iloilo City to see the Dinagyang Festival on January 21 (Kasadyahan, Parade of Lights and Ilomination Competition) and January 22 (main event the Iloilo Dinagyang Competition).. hope you both can make it.. thank you
Hey guys! I really appreciate the genuine no bs thoughts on your experiences here. I myself am not a fan of "Filipino time". Being late a few times for a few minutes is fine especially if ur reasoning is traffic. But the complete lack of regard for time being normalized is really not ok for me. I mean 4 hours with nothing I would've been annoyed myself. The trash on the floor is also not OK. I can understand if you felt disappointed at this. Still I hope you enjoyed Cebu anyways
It started on time, they're at the right venue for the mardi gras but still the wrong place coz it's a little farther on the other side, the crazy face paint happened in the city center
DINAGYANG OF ILOILO CITY for me is the most joyous festival I've ever attended the street dance is lit it's fire the food the whole experience is a bop
@@redpuff7050 enlighten me? Baka ikaw ang i enlighten ko. Learn ur history . Copy paste lg ang dinagyang ng ati atihan. Ngayun ilomonation kinopya sa electric masskara. Boring kasi ng dinagyang kaya ginaya ang electric masskara.. Learn ur history po.
On your honest thoughts, I agree with, at least upon seeing and corroborating the videos taken by other vloggers who went to Sinulog. For them to charge entry to the festivities (can anyone confirm this?), at least a semblance of orderliness and sticking to the time of the actual parade might have been prudent. Festive, but quite disastrous in terms of organizing the actual place and schedule. The city government could have done it in the city center instead as per tradition.
you guys are just outside my workplace!!! Cebu I.T park! omg!! i would have immediately recognized you if i was there!! I hope you have an amazing experience here in Cebu
First on a different venue, it wasn't as festive as it used to be, say 1999-2000. It was packed per usual but the vibes were there and it wasn't as chaotic. 🎉
I was planning to attend 2024. After this vlog… think not Cebu. OMG. I got exhausted just watching! Thanks for showing the real deal. Safe travels guys. ;)
In Sinulog Dance competition, there are two major categories for participants to choose: the traditional and original Sinulog-based Category and Free Interpretation Category. The Sinulog-based category needs to follow strict rules on the traditional steps: two steps forward and one step backward. However, the drumbeats and the music should adhere to Sinulog music. You may choose to use modern music but has to be modified in attune to Sinulog beats.
It is totally understandable to might have a different expectation since this is your first time witnessing a festival here in the Philippines. Instead of being an expectator, it is more fun if you had interactions with the dancers and drummers like what I saw in Zoe&Czar vlog. You might have thought that the parade was delayed but it's not. You were at the last route of the parade and knowing that it is street dancing, the dancers need to stop because they are required to dance in every step of the way. No worries, it's still a lot more to come like Dinagyang and Penagbenga. Lots of love and I still enjoy watching your vlogs.
fyi, 9 contingent participants were withdrawn their intention to join this years sinulog due to lack of preparation in the new venue, mostly some cebuanos prefer the old venue than in srp for some reasons like inaccessibilty of the area, safety of the dancers, bad weather condtion as the ground is very muddy, limited structures to hide from rains nor heat from the sun.
welcome to Cebu guys...head north or south of Cebu to explore more of Cebu... i wish you boight those hats that can cover yoir face to protect your face..
your reaction is understandable and all I could say, Im thankful I wasn't there. About the changes, let that be a lesson to the organizers that you should never change anything if nothing's broken.
@@pbroy64 yeah I noticed too. I don't wanna blow up anyone's spot or anything, and folks are entitled to their privacy so I won't dig deeply into it... But it's interesting to see 😁
@@migs-eh Now that you opened up this can of worms, I re-watched the whole video and freeze framed to find "Where's Waldo" and found many more 😆. Let's just say it's a fangirl and let them have their privacy 🤫
I really appreciate that you guys are like immersing in the Filipino culture and eventually trying out the things about us like food and now festivals. Just a saddening fact tho coming from a Filipino herself. MOST FILIPINOS DON'T KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SUCH FESTIVAL BEING CELBRATED EVERY TIME OF THE YEAR. IT'S TIME FOR US TO GO BACK TO OUR ROOTS AND DEEPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING AND FAITH ABOUT THE TRADITIONS WE ARE DOING ESPECIALLY THOSE OF SPIRITUALITY. SINULOG IS OF SPIRITUALITY - HOW CHRISTIANITY BECAME IN THE PHILIPPINES. SINULOG FESTIVAL IS NOT JUST A FESTIVAL OF BEING AESTHETICS, DANCING OR AMAZING FOOD, TO THE EXTENT THAT PEOPLE DO FOOLISH THINGS AND WEAR FOOLISH DRESSES. THAT'S WHY SOME WILL NOT TRULY ENJOY THESE KIND OF CELEBRATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND THIS , WHY IT IS CELEBRATED. SO DEAR YOUNG CATHOLICS OR ALL OTHER CATHOLICS, PLEASE KNOW YOUR FAITH, KNOW YOUR THEOLOGY. VIVA PIT SENYOR! #genZCatholic
you got the wrong info where to go (fuente osmena and mango avenue)its ok better luck next year my condo will finish this year i will let you stay next year in my place for free...if you interested to visit again in cebu ...wherever you go to phillipine island ask your subscriber and do research more and inquiries ....cebu is good to explore
The event started at 9am, it started on the farther part of the SRP road, then it stopped at 12 so everyone can have lunch and it was also so scorching hot to be under the sun, it resumed at around 1, still the same venue, a bit farther out..

Your reactions were understandable, don't worry. I think the Grab got it wrong when they told you people don't do colors anymore because they don't like it anymore. Everyone is probably really as confused as you 😑. You could really have SLEPT through that 6+ hours.
The reason why the performers aren't dancing is that there is a designated spot in the parade where they dance because that is where the judges are located. That's why some locals prefer to go to that certain spot for a better Sinulog parade experience. Many non locals don't know about this, that's why some of them don't get to enjoy the parade.
Most Cebuanos are also very very disappointed with this year's Sinulog. You are not alone. It just sucks that you had this very bad experience. We had a very different sinulog in the past and is very festive and fun. Not like this years Sinulog. As a Cebuano, I am so ashamed with this failure.
That festival was good actually! Sinulog wasn’t like 2022 or 2020 it was better that time I recommend you visit Dahilayan In Cagayan de oro I have visited it one time IT WAS SO FUN!. Love from Mindanao 🇵🇭
Well, time to go to BAGUIO, Panagbenga Festival (Flower Festival) is coming next month. You won't be disappointed. 😉✌ Anyhow, the Sinulog experience is still a good one.. maybe some things did not work out as you expected but hey, at least you were able to witnessed it! Cheer up!
Welcome to Cebu! Tyler and Isaac.😃 I could imagine how tired you both were when you reached your hotel. I can't even imagine waiting there for 7 hours just strolling the malls, etc. because of the delayed schedule. My sincerest apologies for the people who were rude to you guys. I hope this doesn't change your mind about Cebuanos. I also like your Spongebob shirts.Looks so cool! Enjoy your stay in Cebu👍😃.Your vlogs are a stress reliever.💯
I wasn't at the event nor have I never been to Cebu myself. But from what I have read, the Cebu Governor herself rejected and detested the prospect of having holding the Sinulog event in that venue, and a lot concur with her. She noted that people would have a hard time during the event, that is maybe because they have already anticipated the situation because of the scale and magnitude of the event in terms of people and resources involved compared to the urban planning and the present infrastructure lack of capability to ensure reliable and available mass transit for everyone in that area. And it looks like that is what exactly happened.
Thing is many people got confused on the venue and time . Going to festivals shouldn’t require research or local tourist guide . It should be plain and simple for the tourists so they will not get confused or lost on where and what time to go . There should be banners everywhere starting fr the airport I mean come on how hard is it to plan an event when you have been doing it for the longest time whether new venue or not it should just flow . And that Filipino time should really stop or minimized at the very least it will just put our country in a bad light even more. Sad but true our govt is not good in organizing events, we know that.
Viva Pit Señor Santo Niño. Hey Tyler and Isaac, frackers, Sinulog in Cebu City, the Queen City of the South, very EPIC!... or not. Thanks for your honesty saying you did not enjoy it. Years ago was different, and the vloggers/visitors were so happy. I think it is because of the new venue. The original route was not used.. supposed to be from the Basilica to Osmeña Circle, to the old streets of Cebu City. If you check previous years videos from other vloggers, you will see the difference and excitement before.
i feel like you guys didn't over react. Never seen so many confused faces in a single video. Your day seems like you're stuck in a nightmare just waiting to end the day and wake up!! hope you guys rest up well!! Good job. Thank you for being honest...
I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam videos ( live and replay ) from locals, media and foreign vloggers of the sinulog festival. The dancers did their street dancing rituals so many times from morning to night and on stage too. It’s a different vibe at night ‘cause their colors reflected on the lights. Apparently, they started their show down on stage where only paid audience can enter the site and watch then they went to the streets near Nustar hotel and casino. Mergim in his vlog was looking for the stage performance area but didn’t go down to City de Marie. He only stayed outside Nustar hotel and casino. That’s where the street action was held not in SM sea side area. You saw people were coming and going ‘cause the parade was ongoing all day. Some who arrived late in the afternoon were still able to see the whole performances in sporadic periods the same as those who came in the morning. Those people sitting and standing outside the mall were just hanging out or maybe waiting too. Some were having a picnic near the sea wall. People we’re just having a good time esp. when the sun came down.. Food stalls were selling all kinds of food, snacks and drinks. Too bad these two only stayed in SM area but I can understand that they’re confused for there were no clear nor posted information as to direction. They could have been more assertive to find where the action really was instead of waiting and not doing more but at least they saw some dances and floats where they were. You can’t expect the parade to come to you, have to find them but I understand it was confusing and being a foreigner everything was new to them and it’s not like in the US where you can expect better information on line, papers and on site. Also organization is well implemented as well as crowd control, safety and security. However, some dancers and floats rolled down to the SM side but not all since the real action was in City de Marie and Nustar hotel side. All day to night, those contingents from different cities and provinces performed for the spectators ‘till the fireworks display. They must have been exhausted performing all day. Surigao del Norte got 3 million from winning 3 categories. So with other winners 2nd place to 3rd.
41:56 It looks like SM screwed you guys over again, because I believe back in those days it was way more organized and it was held at Colon street, Osmena Blvd & Cebu City Sports Center with huge fireworks display at night.
You guys should come and experience dinagyang festival in Iloilo city. It's a 2 day celebration January 21 and 22 but Highlight will be on January 22. You should secure a seat in one main event where the ati competition held coz that is a must watch ( FYI Dinagyang is unbeatable in Aliwan festival one of the anticipated festival in the country) rather than walking in street, you can do this (walking and interacting) after watching the ati competition and in the night you can go to festive walk for food and other stuff like bar hooping or watching a live bands. I suggest you have to come ASAP don't wait saturday or Sunday coz as far as I know the past years everytime it's dinagyang hotels are all fully booked! And don't forget to try Oreo pizza (one of SB19 favorite when they stayed here 🤗)
It’s not really a parade parade coz there is a street dancing competition category….certain places they have to stop for the judges to see the street dancing….and 1 of the things it’s very slow bcoz of the srp stage performances…. The disadvantage of sinulog in srp is the heat comparing when it’s held inside Cebu city
Seems like you're getting infos from different sources that's why you guys are all over the place. Perhaps it would be better next time if you message other content creators and ask them the know how since they are already experienced on these things. Asking random people and getting their inputs are okay but remember that you are there not just for experience but also content, thus your approach should be different compared to others who are just there just because it's their free time. I know you guys want to do your own stuff but as you said, Cebu is very different from Manila and the same goes to the other islands. You barely scratched the surface on how things work in the Philippines so it's better to wise up and ask tips/inputs or help from those who are actually experienced in doing these things and not just rely on what your subscribers are telling you.
It started 10 am. Did you went to the main venue? If it starts 3:30 in the afternoon, it will end at midnight. It was not delayed, It started on time. Maybe you just focused on the parade route
10 contingents backed out so the parade felt pretty empty because 10 dance groups is a LOT! I'm from Cebu City and I didnt even bother going out to celebrate. We watched everything live on TV, and got to see the performances better 😃👍 Your reaction towards the event was so funny because I wouldve probably felt the same. PIT SENYOR tho (it's a greeting we say during Sinulog season, you can reply back with 'pit senyor' as well). Hope you come back soon lmaooo.
The venue was changed this year.. a week before sinulog there was an argument where the venue is.. Making other contingents to back out. A lot of people want it the way it was but the Mayor would not listen. Anyways, the locals have enjoyed the sinulog regardless of the venue. It is about praising the Young Jesus and being with the love ones. Prititiit🎉 Enjoy Vietnam😊

Thanks for watching! What do you think about this year's event?
We have been having a great time exploring Cebu since the event so stay tuned for those vlogs after our Vietnam series!😀
Check out our Facebook for more vlogs until then: facebook.com/TriFateLifestyle
please visit baguio city in february 25 and 26 it is the panagbenga flower parade festival.
You should’ve gone to baseline/mango around 5 pm. Massive crowd gathered there for street parties, a lot of face painting and peoply just vibing
Check the recent video posted on Mergim VLogs
This is disappointing😔 but based from the Island Nomad's page, The event started with a solemn mass at the grandstand at around 9AM. The carousel parade then started and each participants presented at the grandstand. At around 8PM, the program ended with a 10-min grand fireworks display. The crowd was estimated to be at 600k+.

Unfortunately, we Cebuanos were not unified at this year's Sinulog due to political tensions and for the first time they changed the main venue, hoping to see it better next time around, Hope you guys had a great time here in Cebu. :)🥳😉🙃
Another thing is, the organizer and the local government tried to please the biggest sponsors by changing the venue near them. It was so awful and not very well thought. Changing the venue just for Sponsor's sake
@@gpaderx6105 Exactly.

@@katutubongxnagger lami ka vibes sa city proper.
That's sad. Cebu LGU should re-evaluate their decisions. :(
I enjoyed my Sinulog experience in the past. Looks like they changed the venue though Cebu is already congested and traffic even before. You also need to witness Iloilo’s Dinagyang Festival (considered as Best Tourism Event in the Phils) after your visit in Cebu, that would be next Sunday. 😊
Too bad you and many people missed the festival events because you were all waiting at the wrong place. Main venue was in front of NuStar hotel or near it. It started on time as scheduled. Anyways, the events can be watched in Mergim Vlogs who was able capture it from morning to evening. Also in Make It Happen vlog of Mike, and Zoe&Czar Vlog. Good efforts though!
SO TRUE..
True 😊
Probably no proper instruction or guides were provided on the road/street.. Not everyone would know to search it online. Sorry guys. This is the first for everyone even for locals. After they change the venue
Because the mayor moved the events to the new venue, not the traditional venue.
@@ishj6991 instruction were already provided
Yeah I agree with you. This year was possibly the worst Sinulog I’ve ever experienced. Everybody was really confused due to the political tension and change of venue.
I love your HONEST opinion. The new Sinulog route is chaotic compared to the traditional route. It was a costly experimental decision but well, the Sinulog Foundation and their PR Team said it was a success. I’m a local but NO WAY i’m going to head to that new location next year.
The Sinulog in the past is very different from the Sinulog 2023 today because of the new venue itself. If you visit like Fuente or Mango Avenue you can feel their the fest where people gets wild, having parties on the streets and have paints everywhere in the faces. I thought I would see you in person because I'm from Cebu anyway love from Cebu, Philippines 🇵🇭
Pano mo nasabe..watch Mergim Vlogs you can see that there's no Difference.
@@juandelacruz8322 like duh cause I experienced it myself though. Like what you can do there is to roam around the Mall and anything else. Unlike before duh. Maybe you experienced differently from what I've experienced in Sinulog 2023 but I'm just stating what I've experienced in Sinulog 2023.

There were 3 Vloggers I saw who had a different experience, it was more live and people were throwing colors at them. They also captured the dancers and float like it should be. Too bad you guys didn’t get the full experience.
I think they didn't research enough where the parade will start, knowing there were so many changes for this year's sinulog
Agree! Mergim Vlogs had a great time during the Sinulog and produced a great vlog...
You didn’t asked people, two bloggers have a whole parade on their blog,guess you didn’t research before you went.
@@bernadettesanjuan7255 well they did according to their vlog, it’s a matter of talking to the right people. I think Mergim Vlogs and Travelwith_Success had the best experience from this Festival.
@@annilynfabillar4485 yea I saw Mergim’s color crazy experience. I wouldn’t have survived that crowd. I’m too old for that type of activity lol. I think TriFate better off didn’t get into that. It would have been too hectic.
Hey I just watched Mergim Vlogs - the BGC guy - it seemed that he enjoyed it. He got to see the parade and the colors at night too.
True😊
After Sinulog,please visit Iloilo City for the Dinagyang Festival on January 21 & 22 .It's one of the biggest festival in the country.
Boring Yang dinagyang..para kalang nanooud Ng street dance..unlike SA sinulog na AMG MGA Tao Mismo ang nagpaparty SA kalye.wild,lively full of revelry 😄
@@cebuelitemachinesinc.1995 kaya pala best tourism event ang dinagyang kaya “boring” 😂😂😂
@@cebuelitemachinesinc.1995 toxic ka talaga! Di naman sabay sa Sinulog mo ang Dinagyang. Kung gustong pumunta sa Dinagyang bakit mo pipigilan? Sinulog and Dinagyang are just the offshoot of the original Ati-Atihan in Kalibo, a three-day revelry. Dinagyang started in the late 60s, Sinulog came later.
@@elyserva7903 he's just speaking the truth. but you;re all celebrating Santo Nino right? Must you forget Santo Nino was given to a Santo Nino in Cebu back in the 15th century. Cebu is where catholicism started. Original parin ang Cebu. Though mother of festivals ang dinagyan but it's not the biggest, grandest, most epic fun, nor the festival of the festivals in the country.
@@cebuelitemachinesinc.1995 hahaha best tourism event sa pinas boring ba? Nag witness ka na ba ng Dinagyang?🤔😅😁
Please Come to Iloilo City for Dinagyang Festival this Saturday and Sunday will be the highlights of the event. .
Mergim Vlogs knew what he was doing. Festivals like Sinulog, you should not only be a spectator. Join the fun, interact wth the performers. Have fun learning the dance steps, etc...
Exactly. Mergim also knows how to approach the right people. The guy is a Pro!👍
@@manbibar4299e even climbed up the float to watch the mayor playing the drums 🤣
Well, we can't force anyone to do the same just because the other vloggers have been doing it. Let them have fun in their own way. 😁
@@El_.5794 👍🤟
@@janongski pretty much they got it their way LOL I’d say lack of effort, they want the fun served to them in a silver platter. They could’ve done more research or as an influencer…it’s easy for them to tap more people in LGU or the organizers.
sorry to hear you had a bad experience in Cebu, as someone who also considered visiting Sinulog this year, the news of this year's preparations hasn't been great. hopefully you can still have a better experience next time. If you still don't have any strict plans for this weekend (21&22), you might consider travelling to neighboring islands, Iloilo City is celebrating Dinagyang and Bacolod City is celebrating Bacolaudiat (Chinese Lunar New Year!) and Dinagsa as well in Cadiz City!
this is why i watched your vlogs. very realistic and no sugar coating
You are in the area where the parade is about to end. You should stay in the area in Fuente Osmena Avenue in the Circle where the parade starts. It starts at 9am, and because you’re at the end at the parade, the parade line is long. Next time, book in one of the hotels in Fuente Osmena one year ahead where you can go up the hotel while watching the parade and sleep, and come down to continue watching the parade. Choose the hotel where parade passes by on the street it is located
Pls.try to visit Iloilo Dinagyang you will love it at the weekend..
Sinulog parade is so long that parade starts at 9am where the it starts and ends at 7pm in the evening. It is meant to be the longest parade in the world. This was about 10 years ago the last time we watched the parade.
Thats true. The Sinulog 2023 last Sunday is much different from the past because of the new venue of the parade which is far from the business district. If you only go to Colon and Fuente Osmena streets ( the original venue ) instead, you would experience the gathering of mass of people who still celebrated it in traditional ways where thousands of people became crazy wild, squeezing each other and had paints on their faces like a street party.
Because the mayor of cebu is not chatolic,rama even make fun of sto nino
@@dantesalazar7805 , so sad and disappointing that the parade did not happen in the business district.
@@dantesalazar7805 , . Is that true about that Mayor? So diagusting if that is true.
If I'm from cebu I would never vote for a mayor who is not catholic. Remember Cebu is the birthplace of catholicism in the Philippines. Don't vote for a non catholic next time Cebuanos.
We still have COVID so it was a good thing the lgu decided to transfer it to another venue...omg, its still in Cebu!
Love your honesty as always and that you never fawn over stuff just to please the viewers. Seriously though, you guys put some other Pinoys -- myself included -- to shame just with the sheer love and interest you have shown for the Philippines and Filipino culture. We sometimes favor everything foreign more than our own and you guys inspire us to love and appreciate all things Pinoy. I hope your Cebu itinerary includes Oslob and Kawasan falls, you won't regret it. My best memory of Cebu is swimming so close to a whale shark I could touch it; and that specific moment still haunts me to this day, not in a nightmarish kind of way, in a very good way. Canyoneering in Kawasan left my butt bruised for over a week but I'd do it all over again if I could. So, enjoy, eat your bizcuit, wear sunscreen, and stay safe, ya bunch of frackers! 💯
Hey guys! I’m also from Minnesota but born and raised in Bacolod City. There is a festival this weekend called Bacolaodiat. You can actually catch the Ceres bus from Cebu to Bacolod. Make sure it’s the aircon bus. While in Bacolod, make sure you go to Manokan Country and try the chicken inasal. Enjoy your time!
Guy's you can go to Iloilo also for dinagyang festival next Sunday
Sinulog is way better, in iloilo, just all tikal>
Sorry to know that 🫨 but Mergim vlog really had sooo much fun at sinulog don't know which area he was but yeah lots of confusion on proper schedules definite venues etc
Mergim Vlogs had a lot of fun in contrast to what you experienced.
Did he have to wait 7 hours as well?
@@HiCysters I don't think so. Otherwise he would've mentioned it in his vlog

That was expectations vs reality indeed! Being so excited to witness the festival parades for u guys but turned out to bit disappointed somehow...

Still an"EPIC" journey... Hope you see more adventure in Cebu...

You have to consider it's post covid, new venue and been raining the past few days. Just because it didn't turn our well this year doesn't mean it sucks.
That's why is the biggest...

Unfortunately they were waiting at the wrong place. It was not a failure at all, lt started on time as scheduled near NuStar hotel. Watch Mergim vlog, Making It Happen, and Zoe&Czar Vlogs. They were able to capture the excitement of the festival events.
@@eds7933I'm sure the boys' lack of sleep affected their energy during the day, and probably their patience. But as they narrated in their vlog, they clearly asked multiple people, multiple times about when and where they could watch the parade. They checked the published schedules even before flying to Cebu. Even the locals around them were confused and disappointed.
That's clearly a failure on the part of this year's festival organizers. They did not properly disseminate information about the performance venues and the parade route, because if they did, majority of the crowd would have known. The event area would have signs and schedules posted everywhere. Not to mention several towns chose not to participate this year due to issues with the venue.
Just because some people had a better time and knew all the right places doesn't mean it's automatically a resounding success. (Not to mention most vloggers filter their opinions and only post positive comments because that's better for engagement. These boys have always been honest in their opinions and that's why most of their viewers love them for it.)
The quicker people accept the valid criticism, the sooner you can figure out what to do better for next year's festival.
You can enjoyed our Sto. Niño Ati Atihan Festival in Kalibo, Aklan, you can join any group you want to join in street dancing in different beats of the drums from tribal to modern Ati Atihan. You will be amazed by the colorful costumes, some tribal groups use charcoal and body paint in their body.We celebrate it every third Sunday of January.
Since you both are in cebu now don't forget to experience swimming with whales n sardines run at moal boal then do canyoneering at kawasan falls,so many things to enjoy n experiences in cebu have fun and enjoy keep safe God bless😍❤️🙏🙏🙏
I saw other vloggers right in the thick of the parade they went to side streets and got their faces painted. Perhaps it was way too early when you came in. Nothing eve starts on time in Philippines. It’s also the first time they held it in 2 years due to covid. Sinulog typically is rowdy with lots of costumes and parade and paint. People yelling pit senor. Fire works at night.
Nice cover for Sinulog 2023.. Hope this will be improved in the future.
We feel you guys 😩 it’s really curious that literally no other vloggers mentioned the delays?? Epic editing 😅 can’t wait to see more Cebu vlogs - and your adventures in Vietnam! Get some rest!!
Because other vloggers were on the right route and venues of the event. Trifate got the wrong information about the venues.
You're frustrations are valid. Seven hour delay is just ridiculous. Kudos to both of your patience. I'd be like "fvck this, I'm going home" 😂 Am glad you still had fun though. Thank you for showing us a part of the parade. Hope you have fun in Cebu!
The parade started early like 7:30AM but you just had to find the parade route. You should be in City di Mare because that's one of the parade stations. I was able to watch some vloggers uploading videos in which they went there as early as 10AM and they were dancing and having so much fun (i.e. travelwith_success, making it happen, Zoe&car,, our sweet hideout, mergim vlogs, etc.)
They didn't research the route and now disappointed with Sinulog..
So true.
So true but they tend to rely on handouts and posting in the website of government which is most of the time unreliable. Maybe they are not able to talk to the right people and just goes with the flow or what the posters in their area tells. Watching the vlog is also disappointing since they just roam around the mall and stand in the sun. But this is not their fault at the very least. Maybe they were just simply at the wrong place and did not plan very well
Awesome vlog for Sinulog 2023.
You guys should check out Panagbenga Festival in Baguio City this coming February 🎉🎉
Dinagyang festival is one of the best. Hope to see you biscuit boys nxt week in iloilo. Ayee!!

it's too hot from 10am. then we went back home at 3pm. The Organizer(Local Government) was not well prepared. the street dancing was not well organized. lack of contingents. we decided to get inside the Mall and then went back home.
It's bec of the constant rain..
Thanks for sharing this wonderful video n for showing your lovely exploration in Cebu, d Philippines. Interesting festival.
Hi Trifate.. please checkout and come to Iloilo City to see the Dinagyang Festival on January 21 (Kasadyahan, Parade of Lights and Ilomination Competition) and January 22 (main event the Iloilo Dinagyang Competition).. hope you both can make it.. thank you
Hope u enjoyed cebu and the sinulog fiesta have fun and stay safe
Finally been waiting for this
It's funny that when you start feeling the heat you mention that you forgot the sunscreen. People use umbrellas for shield in the Philippines.
Hey guys! I really appreciate the genuine no bs thoughts on your experiences here. I myself am not a fan of "Filipino time". Being late a few times for a few minutes is fine especially if ur reasoning is traffic. But the complete lack of regard for time being normalized is really not ok for me. I mean 4 hours with nothing I would've been annoyed myself.
The trash on the floor is also not OK. I can understand if you felt disappointed at this. Still I hope you enjoyed Cebu anyways
It started on time, they're at the right venue for the mardi gras but still the wrong place coz it's a little farther on the other side, the crazy face paint happened in the city center
In other cities in the world, use of public road is only allowed a certain time. If there’s that, they won’t be late.
Hope you get a million views for this content. A little consolation for the frackers. Please guys, let's all do this.
This is already a food vlog and hiking vlog hehehe. With melgrims vlog he enjoyed the interaction with the performers
To make your stay in Cebu worthwhile, go do the kawasan canyoneering.
Next, please come to PANAGBENGA (flower festival) in February....

If you watch MERGIM VLOGS, he did go to the Sinulog and was at the right place...he got painted a lot..
On your honest thoughts, I agree with, at least upon seeing and corroborating the videos taken by other vloggers who went to Sinulog. For them to charge entry to the festivities (can anyone confirm this?), at least a semblance of orderliness and sticking to the time of the actual parade might have been prudent.
Festive, but quite disastrous in terms of organizing the actual place and schedule. The city government could have done it in the city center instead as per tradition.
you guys are just outside my workplace!!! Cebu I.T park! omg!! i would have immediately recognized you if i was there!! I hope you have an amazing experience here in Cebu
this is really a great feedback for the festival itself I hope they can step up their game next year. Never been there though
First on a different venue, it wasn't as festive as it used to be, say 1999-2000. It was packed per usual but the vibes were there and it wasn't as chaotic. 🎉
The groups included in the parade were supposed to be 28 groups but 18 withdrew when they found out that the venue was changed by the Mayor of Cebu.
Oh that’s not good changing maybe the last minute .. hhmm
The even started at 9am,. it's in a farther side of the SRP..
I was planning to attend 2024. After this vlog… think not Cebu. OMG. I got exhausted just watching! Thanks for showing the real deal. Safe travels guys. ;)
Sinulog has distinct dance steps for the participating contingents but choreographers modify them to be competitive, colorful and impressive.
In Sinulog Dance competition, there are two major categories for participants to choose: the traditional and original Sinulog-based Category and Free Interpretation Category. The Sinulog-based category needs to follow strict rules on the traditional steps: two steps forward and one step backward. However, the drumbeats and the music should adhere to Sinulog music. You may choose to use modern music but has to be modified in attune to Sinulog beats.
Being with the big crowd is already fun for many attendees / watchers.
It is totally understandable to might have a different expectation since this is your first time witnessing a festival here in the Philippines. Instead of being an expectator, it is more fun if you had interactions with the dancers and drummers like what I saw in Zoe&Czar vlog. You might have thought that the parade was delayed but it's not. You were at the last route of the parade and knowing that it is street dancing, the dancers need to stop because they are required to dance in every step of the way.
No worries, it's still a lot more to come like Dinagyang and Penagbenga. Lots of love and I still enjoy watching your vlogs.
Panagbenga Festival in Baguio! You should see that. And a lot more cooler, becoz it’s Baguio. 🥳
fyi, 9 contingent participants were withdrawn their intention to join this years sinulog due to lack of preparation in the new venue, mostly some cebuanos prefer the old venue than in srp for some reasons like inaccessibilty of the area, safety of the dancers, bad weather condtion as the ground is very muddy, limited structures to hide from rains nor heat from the sun.
welcome to Cebu guys...head north or south of Cebu to explore more of Cebu...
i wish you boight those hats that can cover yoir face to protect your face..
your reaction is understandable and all I could say, Im thankful I wasn't there. About the changes, let that be a lesson to the organizers that you should never change anything if nothing's broken.
Stop by at Dinagyang Festival in Iloilo next weekend 🎉

I really appreciate that you guys are like immersing in the Filipino culture and eventually trying out the things about us like food and now festivals. Just a saddening fact tho coming from a Filipino herself. MOST FILIPINOS DON'T KNOW THE SIGNIFICANCE OF SUCH FESTIVAL BEING CELBRATED EVERY TIME OF THE YEAR. IT'S TIME FOR US TO GO BACK TO OUR ROOTS AND DEEPEN OUR UNDERSTANDING AND FAITH ABOUT THE TRADITIONS WE ARE DOING ESPECIALLY THOSE OF SPIRITUALITY. SINULOG IS OF SPIRITUALITY - HOW CHRISTIANITY BECAME IN THE PHILIPPINES. SINULOG FESTIVAL IS NOT JUST A FESTIVAL OF BEING AESTHETICS, DANCING OR AMAZING FOOD, TO THE EXTENT THAT PEOPLE DO FOOLISH THINGS AND WEAR FOOLISH DRESSES. THAT'S WHY SOME WILL NOT TRULY ENJOY THESE KIND OF CELEBRATION BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW THE TRUE MEANING BEHIND THIS , WHY IT IS CELEBRATED. SO DEAR YOUNG CATHOLICS OR ALL OTHER CATHOLICS, PLEASE KNOW YOUR FAITH, KNOW YOUR THEOLOGY.
VIVA PIT SENYOR!
#genZCatholic
you guys are understanding the culture, awesome!
Fly to ILOILO now and get a chance to witness our very own Dinagyang Festival! We'd love to see you here! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Up for this! Would be glad to show them around the city, too. I hope they could drop by and celebrate the festival with us.
you got the wrong info where to go (fuente osmena and mango avenue)its ok better luck next year my condo will finish this year i will let you stay next year in my place for free...if you interested to visit again in cebu ...wherever you go to phillipine island ask your subscriber and do research more and inquiries ....cebu is good to explore
They got the correct info for the mardi gras location but not the exact venue..
Mergim killed it in his Sinulog vlog.
That's Mergim though, everyone's experience will be different.
Can't wait for you guys to explore BORACAY! It'll be epic for sure!
1 thing you should know about Phils, we never follow the schedule 😂
The event started at 9am, it started on the farther part of the SRP road, then it stopped at 12 so everyone can have lunch and it was also so scorching hot to be under the sun, it resumed at around 1, still the same venue, a bit farther out..

Your reactions were understandable, don't worry. I think the Grab got it wrong when they told you people don't do colors anymore because they don't like it anymore.
Everyone is probably really as confused as you 😑. You could really have SLEPT through that 6+ hours.
The reason why the performers aren't dancing is that there is a designated spot in the parade where they dance because that is where the judges are located. That's why some locals prefer to go to that certain spot for a better Sinulog parade experience. Many non locals don't know about this, that's why some of them don't get to enjoy the parade.
Most Cebuanos are also very very disappointed with this year's Sinulog. You are not alone. It just sucks that you had this very bad experience. We had a very different sinulog in the past and is very festive and fun. Not like this years Sinulog. As a Cebuano, I am so ashamed with this failure.
Nice T-shirt ❤❤ Love it😊
Pit Senior !# Sinulog Festival.
#It's more fun in the Philippines !🇵🇭❤😊
That festival was good actually! Sinulog wasn’t like 2022 or 2020 it was better that time I recommend you visit Dahilayan In Cagayan de oro I have visited it one time IT WAS SO FUN!. Love from Mindanao 🇵🇭
The Imaginaaation SpongeBob twinsie shirts were epic! 😎 Ducky enjoy your Cebu adventure!!🦆🥰
Many people are very disappointed with this year's Sinulog festival. Hope Cebu's local govt and their organizers would learn from this year's fiasco
Well, time to go to BAGUIO, Panagbenga Festival (Flower Festival) is coming next month. You won't be disappointed. 😉✌ Anyhow, the Sinulog experience is still a good one.. maybe some things did not work out as you expected but hey, at least you were able to witnessed it! Cheer up!
Welcome to Cebu! Tyler and Isaac.😃 I could imagine how tired you both were when you reached your hotel. I can't even imagine waiting there for 7 hours just strolling the malls, etc. because of the delayed schedule. My sincerest apologies for the people who were rude to you guys. I hope this doesn't change your mind about Cebuanos. I also like your Spongebob shirts.Looks so cool! Enjoy your stay in Cebu👍😃.Your vlogs are a stress reliever.💯
I wasn't at the event nor have I never been to Cebu myself. But from what I have read, the Cebu Governor herself rejected and detested the prospect of having holding the Sinulog event in that venue, and a lot concur with her. She noted that people would have a hard time during the event, that is maybe because they have already anticipated the situation because of the scale and magnitude of the event in terms of people and resources involved compared to the urban planning and the present infrastructure lack of capability to ensure reliable and available mass transit for everyone in that area. And it looks like that is what exactly happened.
Today’s video is a bit frustrating to watch. Waiting sucks. Plus, I think you guys waited at the wrong place. 😢
They sure missed out on one of the most exciting events in the Philippines. They should have a local guide.
Thing is many people got confused on the venue and time . Going to festivals shouldn’t require research or local tourist guide . It should be plain and simple for the tourists so they will not get confused or lost on where and what time to go . There should be banners everywhere starting fr the airport I mean come on how hard is it to plan an event when you have been doing it for the longest time whether new venue or not it should just flow .
And that Filipino time should really stop or minimized at the very least it will just put our country in a bad light even more.
Sad but true our govt is not good in organizing events, we know that.
I've been waiting for this!
Viva Pit Señor Santo Niño. Hey Tyler and Isaac, frackers, Sinulog in Cebu City, the Queen City of the South, very EPIC!... or not. Thanks for your honesty saying you did not enjoy it. Years ago was different, and the vloggers/visitors were so happy. I think it is because of the new venue. The original route was not used.. supposed to be from the Basilica to Osmeña Circle, to the old streets of Cebu City. If you check previous years videos from other vloggers, you will see the difference and excitement before.
i feel like you guys didn't over react. Never seen so many confused faces in a single video. Your day seems like you're stuck in a nightmare just waiting to end the day and wake up!! hope you guys rest up well!! Good job. Thank you for being honest...
I’ve watched a lot of UA-cam videos ( live and replay ) from locals, media and foreign vloggers of the sinulog festival. The dancers did their street dancing rituals so many times from morning to night and on stage too. It’s a different vibe at night ‘cause their colors reflected on the lights. Apparently, they started their show down on stage where only paid audience can enter the site and watch then they went to the streets near Nustar hotel and casino. Mergim in his vlog was looking for the stage performance area but didn’t go down to City de Marie. He only stayed outside Nustar hotel and casino. That’s where the street action was held not in SM sea side area. You saw people were coming and going ‘cause the parade was ongoing all day. Some who arrived late in the afternoon were still able to see the whole performances in sporadic periods the same as those who came in the morning. Those people sitting and standing outside the mall were just hanging out or maybe waiting too. Some were having a picnic near the sea wall. People we’re just having a good time esp. when the sun came down.. Food stalls were selling all kinds of food, snacks and drinks. Too bad these two only stayed in SM area but I can understand that they’re confused for there were no clear nor posted information as to direction. They could have been more assertive to find where the action really was instead of waiting and not doing more but at least they saw some dances and floats where they were. You can’t expect the parade to come to you, have to find them but I understand it was confusing and being a foreigner everything was new to them and it’s not like in the US where you can expect better information on line, papers and on site. Also organization is well implemented as well as crowd control, safety and security. However, some dancers and floats rolled down to the SM side but not all since the real action was in City de Marie and Nustar hotel side. All day to night, those contingents from different cities and provinces performed for the spectators ‘till the fireworks display. They must have been exhausted performing all day. Surigao del Norte got 3 million from winning 3 categories. So with other winners 2nd place to 3rd.
Go to Songkran Festival in Thailand in April you won't regret it. Even Cebuanos/ Visayans enjoying that festival so much.
41:56 It looks like SM screwed you guys over again, because I believe back in those days it was way more organized and it was held at Colon street, Osmena Blvd & Cebu City Sports Center with huge fireworks display at night.
You guys should come and experience dinagyang festival in Iloilo city. It's a 2 day celebration January 21 and 22 but Highlight will be on January 22. You should secure a seat in one main event where the ati competition held coz that is a must watch ( FYI Dinagyang is unbeatable in Aliwan festival one of the anticipated festival in the country) rather than walking in street, you can do this (walking and interacting) after watching the ati competition and in the night you can go to festive walk for food and other stuff like bar hooping or watching a live bands. I suggest you have to come ASAP don't wait saturday or Sunday coz as far as I know the past years everytime it's dinagyang hotels are all fully booked! And don't forget to try Oreo pizza (one of SB19 favorite when they stayed here 🤗)
It’s not really a parade parade coz there is a street dancing competition category….certain places they have to stop for the judges to see the street dancing….and 1 of the things it’s very slow bcoz of the srp stage performances….
The disadvantage of sinulog in srp is the heat comparing when it’s held inside Cebu city
Guys, explore The beaches and falls in Cebu , like Bantayan and moalboal .... take care
Seems like you're getting infos from different sources that's why you guys are all over the place. Perhaps it would be better next time if you message other content creators and ask them the know how since they are already experienced on these things. Asking random people and getting their inputs are okay but remember that you are there not just for experience but also content, thus your approach should be different compared to others who are just there just because it's their free time. I know you guys want to do your own stuff but as you said, Cebu is very different from Manila and the same goes to the other islands. You barely scratched the surface on how things work in the Philippines so it's better to wise up and ask tips/inputs or help from those who are actually experienced in doing these things and not just rely on what your subscribers are telling you.
It started 10 am. Did you went to the main venue? If it starts 3:30 in the afternoon, it will end at midnight. It was not delayed, It started on time. Maybe you just focused on the parade route
10 contingents backed out so the parade felt pretty empty because 10 dance groups is a LOT!
I'm from Cebu City and I didnt even bother going out to celebrate. We watched everything live on TV, and got to see the performances better 😃👍 Your reaction towards the event was so funny because I wouldve probably felt the same.
PIT SENYOR tho (it's a greeting we say during Sinulog season, you can reply back with 'pit senyor' as well). Hope you come back soon lmaooo.
Enjoy and be safe guys😊🤙always watching all your blogs❤️
The venue was changed this year.. a week before sinulog there was an argument where the venue is.. Making other contingents to back out. A lot of people want it the way it was but the Mayor would not listen.
Anyways, the locals have enjoyed the sinulog regardless of the venue. It is about praising the Young Jesus and being with the love ones. Prititiit🎉 Enjoy Vietnam😊
