The opening ceremonies started with a novena mass at around 2PM at the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino, which was then followed by a short streetdance performed by 15 schools from around Cebu City. Unlike the traditional sinulog Streetdance Parade, the sparade this afternoon, used a taped music featuring the Sinulog beat.
More and more activities are now lined up leading to the grand highlight of the festival slated on January 17, 2010.
Tomorrow, students from various towns of Cebu province will be competing at the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan, where the top 5 winners will be eligible to join the highlights on the final day of the fiesta.
