Origin of Sinulog
Sinulog is a dance ritual in honor of the miraculous image of the Santo Nino. The dance moves to the sound of the drums and this resembles the current (Sinulog) of what was then known as Cebu's Pahina River. Thus, in Cebuano, they say it's Sinulog.
More than just the meaning of the word is the significance of the dance. Historians now say that Sinulog, which is of pagan origin, is the link between the country's pagan past and its Christian present. Let's trace its history.
Historical accounts say that before Portuguese navigator Ferdinand Magellan came to Cebu on April 7, 1521 to plant the cross on its shore and claim the country for the King of Spain, Sinulog was already danced by the natives in honor of their wooden idols and anitos. Then Magellan came and introduced Christianity. He gave the Santo Nino (image of the Child Jesus) as baptismal gift to Hara Amihan, wife of Cebu's Rajah Humabon who was later named Queen Juana. At that time, not only the rulers were baptized but also about 800 of their subjects. Unfortunately, however, shortly after the conversion, Magellan went into a reckless adventure by fighting the reigning ruler of Mactan, Rajah Lapulapu, with only a handful of men. He died in the encounter. That was on April 27, 1521.
The remnants of Magellan's men were however able to return to Spain to report the incident and the possibility of conquest. It took 44 years before a new group came and started the formal Christianization of the islands. Miguel Lopez de Legaspi arrived in Cebu on April 28, 1565. His ships bombarded the village and in one of the burning huts, one of his soldiers named Juan Camus found inside a wooden box the image of the Santo Nino lying side by side with native idols.

Nine months after Typhoon Yolanda hit the northern part of Cebu and devastated thousands of homes, residents of the Municipality of Daanbantayan remained strong and showed their resilience. They gave thanks for their partial recovery through their Haladaya Festival which is staged every 30th of August in honor of the town's patron St. Rose of Lima.
“United with the Almighty God’s unceasing guidance and blessing, the Kandayan-ons have shown their natural resiliency and extraordinary ability to rise from the rubbles of Yolanda as we never wavered in our belief that we can survive, and not just survive, but be better than we were before,” said Mayor Augusto D. Corro in his fiesta message.“Unity and transparency for progress and development through authentic leadership” was the theme for this year’s annual fiesta celebration.
According to the provincial government's site, around 3,000 spectators flocked at the Daanbantayan grand stand to witness the ritual showdown between five contingents.
Tribu Kasikas sa Kandaya was declared the Grand Champion, Tribu Calaag-Ta sa Kandaya ranked second while Pundok sa mga Kabatan-onang Kandayanon ranked third. Masidlakon Kandayan-on and Pundok sa Kandayan-ong Bacamaba came in fourth and fifth places, respectively.
About Haladaya Festival
Haladaya means an offering to Datu Daya, the legendary chieftain of the town. It is a celebration of the town’s victory over the oppressive Moro pirates. The festival tells about the heroism of Datu Daya and showcases the glorious past of the place.
