has long been the traditional venue for Sinulog’s ritual showdown, while the street dancing competition spans the streets from P. del Rosario to New Imus Road, and from Gen. Maxilom Ave. to Osmeña Blvd. Garcia said he can’t wait for the return of Rama in November before the City Government will start its preparations for the Sinulog. Rama, along with seven other City officials and employees, have been serving a six-month preventive suspension ordered by the Ombudsman since May.
Garcia argued that the sports center is the ideal venue for next year’s Sinulog, especially after the renovations it underwent for the Palarong Pambansa, which Cebu City hosted last July.

Garcia mentioned that the street dancing portion of the Sinulog sa Kabataan last January took place along a section of Osmeña Blvd. where CBRT was under construction, and it proceeded without any problem. “Ato lang gipangtangtang tong barriers and stoppers. Unya successful man. So, there is no reason nganong dili ma successful,” he said.
