Sinulog Festival 2014 Winners

The occasional rain and strong winds didn't deter some 3.2 million people from filling up the streets of Cebu City to witness the Sinulog Festival 2014 Grand Parade held last Sunday, January 19. More than a hundred participants, including 35 dance contingents, paraded through downtown streets donning elaborate costumes and performing synchronized dance routines. The all day long spectacle wrapped up in Cebu City Sports Complex where contingents had to perform onstage for final judging.

 

Four out-of-town entries were among the big winners for both Sinulog-based and Free Interpretation. Kulturang Placereno from the Province of Masbate bested all other contestants in Sinulog-based category. Meanwhile, Cebu City's Lumad Basakanon gave a solid performance to upset early favorite  Tribu Himag-ulaw of Placer Masbate which eventually settled for the second spot in Free Intepretation.
