No Politics, No Campaigning on Sinulog 2019
WIth Sinulog 2019 just around the corner and the 2019 elections fast-approaching, organizers are worried that the solemn festival may be used for campaigning.
Thus, the organizers called for a politics-free Sinulog this year.
Marketing Head for Sinulog 2019 Stephanie Villarica said they did not invite any politicians to give a speech on Sinulog.
She added that they only invited President Rodrigo Duterte to attend the activities and gave his speech for the Cebuanos.
Villarica also mentioned that Sinulog is not the time for politics especially that the election is also fast approaching and some politicians might use Sinulog as a tool for campaigning.
She also said that Sinulog is the celebration of the birth of the child Jesus Christ, Sr. Sto. Niño.
Politicians are still welcome to attend the festivities in the upcoming Sinulog. (ASC)
