A Glimpse of Bangga sa Sinulog sa Kabataan 2010

Abellana National School Contingent
Almost 23 contingents from different schools and barangays are already confirmed that they will be joining in Bangga sa Sinulog sa Kabataan 2010 this coming January 10, 2010 (Sinulog Kabataan sa Dakbayan) and January 11, 2010 (Sinulog Kabataan sa Lalawigan). Sinulog is in the air, almost street stores and malls are already playing the sinulog festival music - a way to attract foreign tourist customers. Since, I was not able to get a copy for the final list of the contingents, I am expecting that previous winners of Sinulog Kabataan will joined and defend their crown again. Last year Sinulog Kabataan sa Lalawigan Winners are from Pajo Elementary School and Carcar National Highschool while Sinulog Kabataan sa Dakbayan are from Lahug Elementary School and Don Sergio Osmeña National Highschool.

Cordova Dinagat-Bakasi Festival
I already see the dance and concept of Cordova Dinagat-Bakasi Festival, a free interpretation category and Abellana National HS contingent, a sinulog based category. Both are the best - cute children from Cordova while nice move from Abellana.

Bangka Props from anonymous contingents
Be there at Cebu City Sports Complex to witness all the colors of contingents, January 10 - Sinulog Kabataan sa Dakbayan 2pm - start of the parade from Plaza Indepencia to Cebu City Sports Complex and January 11 - Sinulog Kabataan sa Lalawigan 2pm - start of the parade from Cebu Provincial Capitol Cebu City Sports Complex.
