Historians say that Sinulog is of pagan origin and is the link between the country's pagan past and it's Christian present.

Sinulog is a dance ritual in honor of the miraculous image of the Santo Niño. The dance moves two steps forward and one step backward to the sound of the drums.

This was quite a spectacle especially for my husband who had never seen anything like this before.
