Cebu has a lot of festivals celebrated every year. Some don’t know about the festival but some also known. The most common festival in Cebu City or even international is Sinulog Festival. As they’ve said, Sinulog Festival Is the grandest festival held every year in Cebu City. There are many versions of Sinulog Festival because some cities or province in Cebu also patronize Snr. Sto. Nino as patron.
What is Binaliw Festival?
Binaliw Festival is a festival at Olango Islands patronizing San Vincente Ferrer. This festival is held yearly every month of May. This festival started mystically because it was only being scattered by ancient people by mouth.
When I was first attend this festival, I was very curious what is the meaning of this festival. As ancient spread it, they just do it yearly to offer something to their patron.
They do it and known for the reproductive organ, kidney offering. Ancient believe that if you offer the part of the body which they have illness it will be cured. Sample of the known story, one offer his repdroductive organ since he has illness of his repdroductive organ and said because of the offering he was cured.
From that start, they believe on that story and starting spreading it until this generation and s and they do it yearly but know they also include dancing like crazy.
Hope to attend next Binaliw Festival!
