Bogo City which was one of the areas in northern Cebu heavily affected by Yolanda, earned a slot in the grand parade after winning fourth place in the Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Dakbayan last Saturday.

The group’s contingent head Liza Orongon told Sun.Star Cebu they decided to join the Sinulog to also give thanks to the Sto. Niño for sparing their lives from the typhoon.

“Win or lose, offering lang gyud ni amoa ug agi pasalamat kang Señor Sto. Niño (it’s an offering of gratitude to the Sto. Niño),” she said.

Orongon said their group, which is composed of 64 dancers and 96 props men, will arrive in the city tomorrow.

Panglao and Bogo will be among the 36 contingents that are joining Sunday’s grand parade.

Bogo City is the next stop of Alagang PBA for a relief operation for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda.

Shaina Magdayao and  Excite Inc. chief operating officer Icel Palomares Argana, with their own relief goods, will also be a part of the PBA delegation.

The PBA is giving away basketball backboards, goals and balls on top of relief packages to the Bogohanons.

Salud and his team are coordinating with Cebu Board member Yayoy Alcoseba, travel/tours expert Andrew Teh and Celestino Martinez (not sure if it's Mayor Junie or Tining Martinez please refer to the original article from inquirer: http://pba.inquirer.net/38299/alagang-pba-troops-to-bogo-cebu-friday).

Despite the devastation brought by super typhoon Yolanda, students from the City of Bogo division will join this year's Sinulog sa Kabataan sa Lalawigan parade on the 11th and maybe the Grand Parade itself on  the 19th.

Cebu Daily News reported that 65 high school dancers, instrumentalists and propsmen have been practicing for the competition since December 15, 2013. They relied mainly on the P200,000 cash aid from the Bogo City government.

“Our recovery is ongoing. Many supported us. We just can’t turn our back on the Sinulog,” Ursal told Cebu Daily News in Cebuano.

Bonifacio Ursal, the MAPEH coordinator of the Bogo City Schools Division, said they were hesitant at first about joining the Sinulog this year because of budget and time constraints but later agreed to join to show their thanksgiving to the Sto. Nino for keeping them safe and alive.

Bogo's entry will show how Yolanda devastated the city and how Bogohanons survived.
