Sto. Niño and My Journey to Melbourne | The Philippine Times (The Philippine Times)

Joseph Abutu, our parish priest, asked us about the devotion to the Holy Child known popularly as Sinulog. I tried to explain to Fr. Joseph the difference ...

Its sole purpose of existence is to promote the devotion of Señor Santo Niño and hopefully inspire the creation of a shrine dedicated to the Holy Child, upon whose blessing we rely on time and again. The Sinulog at Clayton was somehow ‘suspended’ due to pandemic regulations and wanting to celebrate the 500 years of Christianity in the Philippines, we had a chat with our parish priest who is intrigued about the celebration of the Holy Child. I was with a group of Cebuano friends in one of the Simbang Gabi masses in December 2020 when Fr. In 2022, the Santo Niño Foundation of Australia Inc. Once we visited the Cebu Cathedral as friends and we were praying in front of the Blessed Sacrament when she answered my prayer with a yes. In front of the Blessed Sacrament, she kindly asked me for a vow. After finishing my Philosophy degree from Philippine Dominican Centre of Institutional Studies (PDCIS) in 1994, I decided to apply for a break from the seminary (this we call regency) after having my simple vows. In my 4th year of high school, Holy Rosary School of Pardo (HRSP) decided to enter the Sinulog competition and we were asked to practice the Sinulog dance a lot of times before January 1984. My formative years as a teenager (then as an adult) were spent in the Dominican Seminary of Calamba, Manaoag and Quezon City from 1987 to 1994. When I went back once in late 1980’s, I first heard of the song Batobalani sa Gugma and witnessed the raising of hands. During that time in my seminary years, I began asking a lot of questions on our Catholic faith, especially questions revolving around popular religiosity and whether they are valid or not and the reason behind its validity or rejection. I can still smell the sweat while wading through the crowd of devotees to kiss the Señor, the burning candles and some old folks dressed in red skirt and old fashion Filipino top asking us “magpa-Sinulog mo?” which is equal to saying, “I’ll dance the Sinulog for you, state your intentions to the Sto.
