Saulog sa Tagbilaran 2015

Saulog sa Tagbilaran Festival is a religious and cultural celebration in the city to honor St. Joseph the Worker the city's patron saint. It kicked last Wednesday with the nightly entertainment that is timed simultaneously with the nine-day Novena Mass at the St. Joseph Cathedral.

 Tagbilaranons give thanks to San Jose with merry- making & novena masses. In between, there are the sponsored nightly activities, the carnival & fun rides, the fluvial procession, the Mutya search & of course, the Saulog street dancing

Last Sunday, thousands lined up CPG Avenue all the way to the CPG Sports Complex to witness the Saulog Street Dancing, the main highlight of the Saulog sa Tagbilaran Festival 2015 and considered as the most colorful and festive of the fiesta activities. 

BASIC DANCE STEPS

The dance contingents must show at least four basic dance steps which are among the judging criteria: Panguros, Panukdok, Pagpanipilya and Paghalad. Said dance steps are inspired by St. Joseph the Worker’s most basic tasks.

The Saulog streetdancing, apart from being a dance offering of the life of Saint Joseph, also allows Tagbilaranons to showcase what the City of Friendship has to offer.

REASON FOR BEING

Through the festivities galore, Tagbilaran City Mayor & Saulog 2015 Overall Chair John Gessnell “Baba” Yap  has spotlighted his commitment for Tagbilaran not only to be the gateway to the province of Bohol but also as an active key component in Bohol’s tourism drive, eco-cultural thrust & economic stimulus.

This early, I am already confident of saying that our annual city fiesta is another rousing success. Congratulations to everyone involved especially the city leadership

What Do Eda, Marian & Christine Have in Common?

Your Blogger would like to share a commonality involving three pageant queens, namely: 2015 Mutya sa Tagbilaran, 2014 Mutya sa Dampas & 2014 Miss Silka Bohol. They haven't been in a pageant where all three were contenders yet Fate had a way of connecting all three of them 

 Christine Ann Juguan, Marian Grace Malubay & Mary Eda Cimafranca

MARIAN GRACE MALUBAY

Did you know that before she was crowned Miss Silka Bohol 2014 & earned the chance to represent Bohol in the national finals of Miss Silka Philippines 2014, Marian Grace Malubay was 1st RU to Christine Ann Juguan in Mutya sa Dampas 2014 last July 24, 2014?

 Marian is 1st RU to Christine

CHRISTINE ANN JUGUAN

Christine Juguan almost gave her barangay a back-to- back Mutya sa Tagbilaran crown after giving a strong performance in the citywide pageant. She placed a strong 1^st RU to Mary Eda Cimafranca in the recently- concluded Mutya sa Tagbilaran 2015 last April 24.

MARY EDA CIMAFRANCA

Here's the clincher: Did you know that before earning the right to represent the city in the forthcoming Miss Bohol 2015 set this July, Mary Eda was 1st RU to Marian Grace Malubay in the 2014 Miss Silka Bohol Pageant last September 26, 2014? 

She was quite raw being a pageant newbie that time and one of the two youngest candidates. Yet, one cannot deny that she already had the potential and she did. She was Best in Swimsuit and almost won over Marian. 

Fate, Destiny & Timing indeed play a crucial role in crowning a beauty queen. 

Eda is 1st RU to Marian 

It’s a Pageant Merry- Go- Round after all!
