The Grand Showdown of the Sinulog 2019
features contingents from Cebu City and Cebu province as well as contingents from different parts of the Philippines. It was the highlight of the Grand Festival that happened at the Cebu City Sports Center on the 20th of January, the 3rd Sunday of the month.
There were floats from participating companies
most of them having local celebrities gracing to the cheering of the huge crowd. The giants too were entertaining. The Grand Showdown is the most-awaited part and thousands gather inside the Cebu City Sports Center. Tickets are sold at the gates and every year this event sells by the thousands even if the tickets are sold for a grand at the lowest. This year as far as I observed, there were vacancies at the bleachers, it wasn't a sold-out crowd. This year was my 3rd time at the venue and it was no longer as exciting and entertaining like the 1st. The 1st time totally wowed and awed me from beginning at 9:00 AM till 8:00 or 9:00 PM. I couldn't believe it was that entertaining, and the showdown was fast-paced with no minute wasted. After one contingent comes another, then another and they were all moving very fast. No boring moment whatsoever and it didn't hurt my butt sitting from AM to PM. It was highly entertaining for me at that time. This year's showdown had several minutes of breaks where the stage was left empty. The bad weather and the rain had a lot to do with the slow movement but the show went on remarkably with all the contingents braving the wet and maybe slippery stage. Overall, the Grand Showdown was a success, and paying for the tickets was all worth it even though my butt hurt already sitting for more than 8 hours. This event will forever be something to look forward to.
