So during Mindanaoan’s Sinulog Festival 2010 escapade, I had the chance to catch one of the performances featured in the “Cebu, Cebu” event held at a large mall in Cebu City. “Cebu, Cebu” is an event that aims to focus the best of Cebu — from food to designers to jewelry to crafts to artists. And two of the artists that came to perform during that weeklong celebration included singer-actress Pinky Marquez and crooner Chad Borja.
Chad Borja may be from Cebu but he has been based in Davao City for several years now. He regularly performs at Kanto Bar over at Matina Town Square (MTS), Matina, Davao City, Mindanao.
Kanto Bar, by the way, is a favorite “must-drop-by” place by Manila-based Dabawenyo artists. Artists like Jay Durias and Jinky Vidal and the rest of Freestyle band. Whenever they have gigs in Davao City, they usually see to it that they drop by Kanto Bar after their show.
I should know, I usually tag along with them 
For instance, during South Border’s recent trips to Davao, we’d proceed to Kanto after their shows and the guys will jam. Sometimes Chad sings with them. Believe me, it’s quite an experience to listen to real, passionate and very talented musicians jam.
Anyways, before I totally digress…Chad Borja really wowed the Cebuano crowd. His voice was soothing yet powerful and he still had that charm. Proof of this is the number of ladies who got so enchanted with the “Ikaw Lang” singer that they kept on shrieking like college girls There were also a lot of ladies who kept on having their pictures taken with him even as he sang. Oh well 
Here are some of the shots I took of Chad and Pinky during that “Cebu, Cebu” event:

Tangub City did it again! The Tribu Sinanduloy, entry of Tangub City, Misamis Occidental, Mindanao to the Sinulog 2010 streetdancing competition this year, bagged the top plum anew. Tribu Sinanduloy is the defending champion for the Sinulog-based category. And to add another feather to their cap, Tribu Sinanduloy also bagged the street dancing award!
Tangub City has bagged nine championship trophies since they first joined the Cebu festival in 1994. Their Sinulog 2010 victory is their ninth.
The dancers from Tangub City, Mindanao highlighted bountiful harvest blessed by Sto. Nino, the patron saint of Cebu City. Tribu Sinanduloy of Tangub brought with them large scarecrows, a carabao, neon green bamboo and other bright, attractive props.
The huge crowd at the Cebu City Sports Center was so impressed with their performance that many people at the bleachers gave them a standing ovation. Those at the VIP section also stood up and waved at the dancers after their rousing performance.
Tangub City officials led by mayor Jennifer Tan received the P1 Million cash prize – P500,000 for winning the Sinulog-based category and another P500,000 for the street dancing competition.
Tan, along with the Tribu Sinanduloy choreographer and other city officials, accepted the prizes Monday during the awarding ceremonies held at Cebu City Sports Center (Abellana).
Reports here in Cebu City say that at least 8 million people joined the Sinulog@30 2010 festivities. Authorities say that 3.5 million watched the Sinulog grand parade Sunday.
