The Sinulog was organized by the Parish Pastoral Council in devotion to Señor Santo Niño.

The Dipolog City Council recently approved a resolution asking Mayor Roberto Uy to declare every last Saturday of the month of January to be the “Sinulog Day.”

The councilors have agreed to formally declare, through an executive order, that the last Saturday of this January would be the time for the city to celebrate Sinulog, which is already a 13-year tradition of Dipolog.

Councilor Cesar Romero, the city council’s majority floor leader, is the author of the resolution. Romero said that his act does not go beyond the boundary of the separation between the government and the Church because this does not affect any policy of both institutions.
