Finally, I’ve uploaded all my photos of the Sinulog Grand Parade 2012. I would like to apologize for the long delay. I had to get my computer repaired and retrieve all the files I lost.
Anyway, the Sinulog Grand Parade is held every third Sunday of January. Every year, millions of people fill the streets of Cebu City to witness the grand parade and take part in the festivities. The parade starts at exactly nine in the morning and ends with a finale presentation and fireworks display at the Cebu City Sports Center.
Here are my photos of the parade. Hope you enjoy them.

The costume is mind-blowing! Pretty lead dancer!
I was able to take a lot of photos of  Mr. Ogie Alcasid on MLhuillier’s float. Mr. Alcasid is currently very popular because of a funny character he portrays on his weekly gag show Bubble Gang. The name of his character is Boy Pick Up.
The people loved him!
A woman and her kids call out to Mr. Alcasid.
Smile! 🙂
This guy in black is obviously very happy to see him. Hehe.
Young ladies taking photos of Boy Pick-UP/Ogie.
“Hello, Ogie!” shouted this lady in red.
Wave!
They’re happy to see him, as well!
Adults and young kids alike were so glad to see him.
🙂
Ogie as Boy Pick-Up!
And the crowd went crazy!
Love to see their smiles.
Immediately after the parade, Mr. Alcasid twitted about his experience. I sent him this photo. He thanked me for the photo and he immediately retwitted it. The photo was eventually posted on his official FB page. 🙂
