Sinulog by Nene Bautista
The Sinulog Festival of Cebu is fast-approaching and it’s time to grab a low-fare seat at the country’s different airlines. By January, I believe all roads will lead to Cebu City.
It’s been a dream of mine to travel to Cebu and attend this grand festival. Hopefully, one of my fellow photographers would book a ticket for me. I can’t help but admire these images of the last Sinulog Festival by Ka-Nayon Nene Bautista.
BTW, the feast day of the Most Holy Child Jesus is January 19, 2014 (3rd Sunday). Please visit the Official Website of the Sinulog 2014 for more details.
Nene Bautista is a dentist by profession. She usually shoot newbie models at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center in Quezon City. She’s happily married and enjoys photography as a hobby.
