Cebu’s Sinulog Festival is held on the third Sunday of January. It is a yearly cultural and religious celebration and is the heart of the Santo Nino Celebration in the Philippines. Sinulog is originates from the Cebuano word “Sulog” which signifies, “like water current movement”. It refers to the forward-backward movement of the Sinulog dance - it comprises of two steps forward and one step backward.
