Cebu Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia is pushing for the traditional venue of the Sinulog Festival instead of the SRP, citing concerns on traffic gridlock, security, and safety of the participating contingents. | dalegisrael /PDI
Garcia said her constituents in the province will mostly be traveling to Cebu City to pay homage to the Santo Niño and the closure of the SRP will bring inconvenience to the devotees.
Garcia likewise pointed out that there will also be security problems since the area is open space as compared to the fenced Cebu City Sports Complex where the Sinulog used to be held.“If they would ask my opinion and I hope that my opinion matters, it is One Cebu Island after all. It is better that we stick with tradition because afterall, the Sinulog is part of our tradition and our ways were tried and tested already in all of these years,” Garcia said.
Garcia said she is not against the holding of the Sinulog in other venues but this should be planned thoroughly and not just about the construction of infrastructure, and forgetting about the effects and the amenities needed. Mayor Rama wants the Sinulog Grand Festival at the SRP but construction of the venue only started a few weeks ago. The proposed venue was already the subject of several criticisms on social media because of the lack of infrastructure andThe mayor has yet to comment on the statement of the governor. His lawyer has already talked with Garcia on Monday morning but no statements have been released yet by the mayor.
