The author just got lucky to be invited to the 5th Patronal Fiesta in honor of the Sto. Nino of the Damalerio Group of Companies last January 30, 2010. Never before in my life had I experienced something more fervor that what I had on that day. Of course, I'm a firm believer of the Little Child Jesus but my way of giving honor to him is limited in my home altar and the Sto. Nino Parish in Bula. DFC Group of Companies' own version of the Sinulog served as an eye opener for me. It felt really, really good to be able to join in the festivities honoring the Sto Nino. It was an experience I'll be remembering as long as I live.
