(Thanks)



Three years ago, Cebu Provincial Detention Rehabilitation Center in Cebu, Philippines, came up with a unique management by prison warden Byron Garcia, to change the views of everyone about prison and prisoners. He managed to discipline and control the 2,000 inmates of all ages and all sexes through dancing.

Supposedly it 's just a test to use dancing to ease the boredom of the prisoners inside the cell but it became a program and now a famous tourist attraction in Cebu City and later on became hit on YouTube.com.

Viva Senior Sto. Nino


Yesterday (Jan. 17) was the fiesta day of a child Jesus Christ that we called Sto. Nino.
Sto. Nino is the patron saint of the whole province of Cebu, Phils.
Every year millions of people go to Cebu to witness the colorful and festive street-dancing.
We call it a Sinulog (graceful dancing) Festival .

See this for more info: http://www.sinulog.ph/index.php/about/

Not only in Cebu but here in my location too, devotees celebrate annual Sto. Nino festival. There's a novena masses and devotees take to the streets for a procession of the patron after the last mass. In the procession you can see some of the devotees bring along with them their own images or statue of Child Jesus Christ.
