CEBU, Philippines - The entire island of Cebu goes in frenzy every January to celebrate Sinulog. This is the main reason why Cebu is now known to the world as the “Fiesta Island.” Still others refer to Cebu as the “Island of Festivals,” because almost all of the 48 municipalities have already come up with a mini-festival of their own largely based from the Sinulog. Check this out with the Sinulog Foundation and you will see a complete line-up of each festival which is intrinsically named after a municipality’s unique feature — be it a means of livelihood, a rare bird or fish species, a rare tree genus, a local food concoction or a well-upheld culture and tradition.
The Sinulog is actually a dance routine of two-steps forward and one-step backward that is performed usually by an old lady who, with a candle in hand and waved up high while saying “Pit Senyor” invokes a little prayer for good health, good intentions and good luck for whoever approaches her to do a “sinug.” This sacred ritual was previously done within the confines of the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño, one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. It was in 1981 that Sinulog sa Sugbo started in the streets and participated largely by schools and universities in Cebu to showcase the grand fiesta celebration of Senyor Santo Niño, then considered as Cebu’s Patron Saint and Protector, coupled with the people’s unwavering belief in the miracles of the Little Boy. That was only the start. Year after year, contingents grew in numbers. The city decided to widen its route and literally lengthened it, too.
Fortunate it is, indeed, for Crown Regency Hotel & Towers to be located along the Sinulog Parade route. Being the tallest edifice that faces the major thoroughfare called Osmeña Boulevard, any local resident, unit owner, club member or foreign guest who stays at Crown Regency for the duration of the Sinulog celebration gets the best view of the entire proceedings from the first hour down to its end. Not only that, one gets to enjoy the sumptuous Whole Day Dining promo at Glo Café for P999 per person. At Sparkz International Restaurant, dinner buffet cover of P1000 per person gives additional perks like a choice of an Edge Coaster ride or the Skywalk Extreme or watch one movie feature at the 4-D Theater.
Moreover, one gets to enjoy our in-house entertainment like the Video Karaoke Room, the Family Recreation Lounge, Vivo Playroom for the kids and the Sky Observatory. When your eyes droop from all the watching, take a catnap at the Snooze Lounge and be refreshed and re-energized! If you think the heat becomes intolerable, there’s a swimming pool at the 9th floor or the Aqua Fitness Pool at the 17th floor. There’s Prana Medispa’s body massage, foot massage or foot spa that will ease your body aches and tired muscles.
