Puerto Rican says Sinulog best in the world

Puerto Rican model and male pageant titleholder Fernando Alvarez

Mr. Puerto International 2015 Fernando Alvarez said nothing compares with his experience in the recently concluded Sinulog festival. The guy traveled all the way from from Coamo to find that Sinulog is the best festival in the whole world. 

He pointed out that the festival showcased the diverse cultures of the Filipino people, which are united by their common devotion to the Holy Child. He added that Sinulog is a well-known religious festival worldwide, even in his hometown Coamo in Puerto Rico.

Though he is the reigning king in their country, he admitted that he is not that popular, because pageants are no big deal there. It is in the Philippines that he felt the real-celebrity status when he competed for the Mister International in Manila last year and just recently when he played the role of Magellan on a float fielded in by Psalmstre to the grand parade.   

“I thought nobody knows me. Things like will anybody get notice of me? What if people don’t care of my presence, how would I feel? But I was surprised they know me and kept shouting my name, ‘Fernando, Fernando, Magellan!’ That was awesome. I was even teary eyed at one instant. It was really nice being part of this celebration. I said, wow, what a wonderful feeling!” added the 21-year old senior accountancy student at the University of Puerto Rico.

Fernando observed that Sinulog also brought a lot of fun and entertainment, foods, parties, and gimmicks, which made it a unique celebration.

“Cebuanos are truly devoted to Senior Sto. Nino. Despite their differences, they were united by their devotion to the Holy Child. I think this makes Sinulog the best festival in the world. It’s one thing I wish would happen in Puerto Rico. We are a small nation with approximately four million people, but there is only a small percentage of Catholics. We don’t have religious festivals like Sinulog,” said Fernando.
