Archie and Nora Beltran hosted the last day of novena for the Santo Niño on Saturday, January 12 at their home in Glenview, Illinois. Visitors coming in from the freezing midwest breeze quickly warmed up to the familiar company - Cebuanos and fellow devotees gathered together in adoration of their beloved patron.
Organized by health care veteran Lou Pamplona and friends about twenty years ago, this celebration has outgrown 2 venues and expect more than 500 participants at this Sunday’s Sinulog to be held at Saint Catherine LaBoure church in Glenview.
The Fiesta of the Santo Nino de Cebu in Chicagoland is a labor of love for this group that has spanned several generations. Little kids grew up learning the traditional wave-like dance movement and most of the families have made the pilgrimage themselves. (ABF/Chicago)

Hi,
I am a Cebuano here in Keller, TX. I was wondering if you can forward me a website for Cebuano Group here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Thank you.

Greetings From Bisaya Bulletin.com !!
Maayong Pagbati from http://www.bisayabulletin.com and congratulations on your activities that seek to enhance Philippine heritage and culture. We are an emerging website on Visayans with a common purpose to expand our identity thru networking. We are based in Southern California, USA.
At this time we are featuring Sinulog activites in Cebu, other parts of the Philippine archipelago and in the global communities. For this purpose, we are interested to include a link to your site to further convey to our valued readers on Sinulog worldwide. Likewise, we hope to hear from you soon to acknowledge our intent or to perhaps share your Sinulog activities with BBC and lend a hand “to our little Visayan corner in reaching out to the global communities.”
Daghang salamat sa pag-alagad sa tanan.
more power,
Teresa Martinez-Sepulveda
