Naa pa ba ang essence sa Sinulog karon? Are the participants of the festival dancing for the prize money or as an offering to the Santo Niño?

both

both

I don't think both bai. There was one time gamay ra ang ni apil sa event kay gamay ra ang price nga gi allocate sa city government para sa event.

Ask them (participants) personally so that you'll know. IMO, it goes with the prize money and fame. Let's just being honest.

(bro gamay ra ang nangapil coz crisis to ug dili nimo mapugos ang usa ka community mag raise funds
kung naglisud jud! )


let me explain it this way...

It started as tradition and was promoted as competition..
not for money of some but for the benifit of Cebu City, The Church..
the culture and of course livelihood and most especially hope!

Wala ko nakita na dautan kung mag contest man..kung mag pa bida man mga politico
basta importante on top of it all...naa ang devotions!
kay it brings fun and happiness..for participants and spectators!

When everybody's happy then its GOOD!

even our Muslim brothers are happy..and welcome! so join the fun!
Pit Senyor!

I think the big question here is..... does it really matter? people have their own different reasons that's why they're called individuals.

calling them greedy doesn't make you a saint nor calling them saints won't make you look greedy.

Because by the end of the day, what's important is how enjoyed your sinulog.
