Sinulog Street Parties Allowed, But…

People from all over the world will visit Cebu to witness the amazing activities of Sinulog Festival, especially the Sinulog Grand Parade.

Sinulog 2020 is on January 19, 2020.

Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella revealed that he will allow street parties during the said event.

Even before, the issue on “street parties” have become a major discussion on social media and politics. Some said that the banning of street parties implemented by the previous administration was plain boring, but some also supported the banning since Sinulog isn’t about parties and getting drunk, it is about commemorating the title of the Child Jesus.

However, Labella also revealed that selling and drinking of liquor along the Sinulog route is strictly prohibited.

The Sinulog Governing Board (SGB) said that they are planning to allow Sinulog street parties right after the grand parade.

Labella added that he and the SGB will ensure to regulate the street parties to avoid further problems during the sacred day. (MLC)
