The local government of Cebu City has already released P38 million in subsidies for the 42 contingents participating in the Sinulog Grand Parade and Ritual Showdown.
The release was led by City Mayor Raymond Alvin Garcia last Wednesday to representatives of the 42 participating contingents that will join the Sinulog Grand Parade and Ritual Showdown on 19 January at the Cebu City Sports Center (CCSC).
Eighteen contingents based in Cebu City received P500,000 each, while the 21 out-of-town contingents received P1.5 million each.
These include the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu.
Previous Sinulog activities had seen contingents having to reimburse their expenses due to the late release of the subsidy.
The contingents will perform on 19 January along the traditional carousel-type route for the street dancing, while the grand ritual showdown will be held at the CCSC.
