Sinulog Festival in Sirawai : A Highlight

Dancing to the beat of drums and trumpets with participants dressed in colorful costumes has made this year’s Sinulog Festival memorable for the spectators coming from the different barangays of the municipality of Sirawai.

Waited For

The town’s streets were filled with bystanders, as could vividly seen during the grand parade of the said festival, which happened on January 21, 2022. This year’s festivity indeed surprised audiences as it showcased new performances performed by the metro barangays such as San Nicholas, San Vicente, Saint Mary,

Sirawai Proper, and Guban.

Mr. Jason Villaflor, the active organizer of the said event, was the one who decided and was able to come up with its new face compared to the previous ones.

According to him, before the celebration came near, he wanted to surprise everyone with astonishing performances that were not new to them all. He also promised to make it the grandest festivity after a long time of not having it revived because of the pandemic. Just like in any other competition, only one must sit on the throne and enjoy the moment of a genuine success. This was demonstrated when the barangay of Guban won the street dancing competition against five other groups of strong contenders. Moreover, Sinulog sa Sirawai, with its own style and conceptualization, looked unique since it was required of every group of dancers to integrate the song written by Fr. Victorio Ace Eksir during their performance. The song is entitled "Sirawai, Bulahan Ka," and it is sung by a Sirawainon herself, Arianne Jasmine Tandoy. The Sinulog dance is held annually on the third Sunday of January. It is classified into two categories: the Sinulog base and free interpretation.

If you catch him cheating and you want to throw his examination paper in the waste basket, go ahead and do it. I don't want him to grow up thinking it's okay to lie and cheat. If he deserves to fail, then go ahead and fail him. I do not want him to progress in school with fake grades. Challenge him with the reality that he needs to do better. You no longer want to accept projects because they are three days late? Then reject it. I want my son to value time and deadlines. You feel like confiscating his phone because you caught him playing online games in class? Confiscate that phone. I want my son to know the right place and time for gadgets. You found out that my son was cutting classes? Go ahead and reprimand him. Tell him what he needs to hear, and let him pay the consequences. He needs to value your worth as a teacher and as a second parent.
