Viva! Pit Senyor!

"Viva! Pit Senyor Santo Niño!" is an exuberant declaration of praise and a heartfelt plea to the Miraculous Señor Santo Niño (Holy Child), whose feast is celebrated every third Sunday of January in Cebu.

Viva is defined as an expression that means "long live!"

While "Pit Senyor" is a shortened  form of the Cebuano phrase “Sangpit sa Senyor”,
which means "to call on the lord".

The Cebuanos show their love and support for the venerated Senor Santo Nino by cheering "Viva! Pit Senyor!" in unison.

Sinulog has officially started and you could already feel and hear the rhythmic beating of the drums and trumpets to the Sinulog dance music.

It is a deeply rooted religious and cultural festival that the Cebuanos wants to enjoy and share with everyone! As the Sinulog theme One Beat One Dance One Vision represents.
