NUESTRA SEÑORA VIRGEN DE REGLA FLUVIAL PROCESSION 2012

Lapu-Lapu City’s Fluvial Procession in honor of the Virgin of the Rule, now on its 12th year, will be held on November 12, 2012, marking the first day of the novena mass in honor of our patron saint.

The fluvial procession will set sail at 7:00 a.m. from the Pacific Cebu Resort wharf at Suba-basbas and will culminate at Muelle Osmeña at around 9:00 am. after covering a distance of almost three fourths of the coastal line in Mactan Island.

Initiated by the City Tourism Commission, the fluvial procession has since gained cooperation from the Philippine Coast Guard, Philippine Navy, Philippine Air Force, Philippine Coast Guard Auxiliary, Pacific Cebu Resort, Pumpboat Operators, Jet Ski Operators, Catholic Religious Groups, the Congregation of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) and the Metro Ferry Corporation.

Tourism Commission Chairman Damian T. Gomez Jr. leads the fluvial committee while Commissioner Naty Amores is over-all coordinator.

Following the 5:30 am. Mass that will be held at the Marigondon Parish Church, the icon of the city's patron saint will be brought by motorcade to the Pacific Cebu Resort where it will be boarded on a yacht offered by Mr. Lee Joseph Gonzales. The flower arrangement will be donated by an anonymous Marian devotee.

While the procession is sea-borne a chopper from the Philippine Air Force will drop the first shower of Petals. Two other drops will follow in the vicinity of Marcelo Fernan Bridge and at the Muelle Osmeña before the yacht docks signalling the end of the procession.

The best decorated and most symbolic pump boat (out-rigger vessel) will be awarded prizes. This year’s board of judges for the contest is still to be decided by the Tourism Commission and will be announced at a later date.

The M/B Birhen sa Regla, the city owned sea ambulance will be provided to the medical group. Boyla vessel will be provided to the members of the media who wants to cover the event. Boarding passes can be procured at the Lapu-Lapu City Tourism Office.

Cebu Festival: Binaliw Festival

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!

UP Cebu holds Cookout 2012

UP COOKOUT 2012

The University of the Philippines (UP) bring once again this year's grandest and most awaited among college students and music enthusiasts in Cebu with the help of  University of the Philippines Cebu Student Council (UPCSC) together with Spectrum Productions.

The annual UP Cook Out, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, carries the theme "Iskonek. Reboot the System. Start Up". Iskonek relates to the different relevant issues about the internet use such as the correct use of the social networking sites as platform for social activism.

“The unprecedented power of the internet medium should be utilized properly in raising social consciousness among Filipinos. Filipinos should transcend merely on tweeting or posting status updates about what you do and where you go when using social media. Rather, it should be a platform for social fora and activism,” said King Anthony Perez, Vice-Chairperson of the Student Council.

Cookout 2012 will also be featuring student performances and prominent Cebuano-based performers likeDance Wd Me Kris, Decadance, Doorknob,Drop Decay, Spanghew, Shuffled, Bethany, Missing Filemom, Powerspoonz, Rescue A Hero, Gestalt, Foc Fashion.
