President Rodrigo Roa Duterte is set to arrive this afternoon at the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC) to attend the Sinulog festivities.
According to CCSC general manager Jundel Bontuyan, tighter security will be implemented during the visit.
No backpacks will be allowed.
Each contingent of the Sinulog 2020 Grand Parade will perform their ritual showdown at the stage installed in front of the grandstand of the CCSC.
The much anticipated “Sinulog” in honor of Senor Santo Niño is the oldest festival in the archipelago.
It is expected to gather around a million devotees and tourists.
Cebuanos do not consider the Christmas season over until after the celebration of the festive Sinulog Festival.
