I don't understand this whole bashing of people who celebrated Sinulog in the Baseline area. True they are rowdy and intoxicated. True they invade your personal space. But if you already knew that, why go there and then gasp in shock and amazement at how wild and unruly the people are?

1. But that is not the true essence of Sinulog.
From Wikipedia : The Sinulog is an annual cultural and religious festival held on the third Sunday of January in Cebu City. Take note ... cultural and religious festival. Unfortunately, the cultural part also includes the part where people over-indulge and take Sinulog as the one day they can be wild and free.

2. Naa mi mga anak. Concerned mi sa ilang safety.
Then please don't bring them to the area near Baseline. It's irresponsible for parents to bring a child to that area knowing that they are very likely to get crushed in the crowd.

3. Dapat mag impose ug Sinulog tax, dapat ipagbawal ang liquor, dapat walay street parties, dapat naay curfew ang mga below 21.
Ma-inform ko lang po kayo that Sinulog started only 34 years ago. And now it's primarily positioned as a tourist attraction to the world. I encourage you to take a look at how Cebu advertises Sinulog to foreigners. Do you see religious depictions more or do you see more images of the Festival Queens, the parades, the crowds and people having fun?
Yes, let's do everything suggested above. I can just imagine it now. PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, COME TO CEBU FOR SINULOG! FOR 1 DAY YOU GET TO WATCH A 9-HOUR PARADE. UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S IT. THERE ARE NO PARTIES AFTER. AND NO LIQUOR. AND YOU HAVE TO BE HOME BY 9PM.
Yeah that's gonna be great for tourism.

4. Grabe na jud ang Sinulog ron. Grabe na ang mga batan-on ron. Di jud mi ing-ana sa una.
Seeing all the replies and comments, I see a bunch of hypocrites who seem to have forgotten that they too threw caution to the wind when they were in their teens celebrating Sinulog. I'm willing to bet that the things you are saying now are probably the things our parents' generation said when they saw us partying too hard. Every generation thinks their generation is the best and that the current generation is the WORST EVER.
Looking at the thread it seems like a huge circlejerk of people saying "I didn't attend coz I'd rather spend Sinulog at home drinking beer and chilling." or "I didn't want to see all the drunk people so I went home early." So if that's the case ... naa ra man diay mo sa balay ... unsay diay problema uy Eh di diha ra mo sa balay. Sinulog is supposed to be experienced. Yeah you can get drunk at home in your chill house and hammock. But it's a completely different experience to be drunk in Sinulog. People didn't go there to chill. So congratulations! You stayed at home instead of joining Sinulog.
