The lyrics of the music are petitions then followed by an exclamation, “Pit Senyor!” These ought to remind us that the celebration is beyond the merry-making. It is a celebration of all answered prayers and the offering of more prayers and requests. The dances are more than just expressions of rejoicing but they are a
form of prayer, of worship. Even KingDavid danced for the Lord with all his might in 2 Samuel 6:14.

So next time you join a Sinulog, either on the festival itself or when you ask those ladies by the Basilica
to pray for you, the movements are not just dances, they are prayers and worship offered to God.
