Sinulog sa Cebu: Day 1
Woke up really early as it would be our flight to Cebu for the Sinulog. We would be taking the 8:40AM flight 5J563 of Cebu Pacific. We were there at the Manila Domestic Airport at 6AM. As soon as we checked-in, we learned that the plane for an earlier flight is still there; thus, opted to take said flight.
We would be staying at Teo-Fel Pension House at Olive-Perez Building, 4 Junquera Extension, Cebu City. Someone from our camera club arranged our accommodations. As soon as we arrived at Teo-Fel, had our breakfast, rested, and waited for the rest of our group. Three of us would be taking the Sunday flight back to Manila; the rest would be leaving Cebu on Monday.
We had our lunch at STK to have a taste of the local cuisine. Then, we went to the Sinulog Foundation at Cebu City Sports Center to register for the photo competition.
Since we wouldn't have time to buy souvenir items and some pasalubong, we separated from the group.
First stop is at Magellan's Cross. It is the site set to commemorate the erection of the cross in Cebu by the expedition of Magellan, "when King Humabon of Cebu and his queen, son and daughters, together with some 800 of their subjects were baptized by Father Pedro Valderrama."
Next is the Basilica of Sto. Nino, which is right next to the Magellan's Cross. The Basilica would be where most of the activities would take place.
Then, it's time to buy some pasalubong. Near the Basilica is Shamrock (it is similar to Colette's where you can buy native delicacies as pasalubong).
Took a taxi ride to Tabuan where one can buy Cebu's famous danggit and dried pusit.
For dinner, the group ate at Apurado (or is it Aprobado?) which is beside Robinson's mall.
