Justification:Sinulog dance steps was originated from the story of Rajah Humabon's adviser, Baladhay.He was ill and brought to the chapel where the image of Sto. niño enthroned. He was heared shouting. When he was asked to explain, he said that the image of Sto. Niño was on top of him trying to wake him up.He could not explain why he is dancing as if mimicking in the river. Which became the traditional steps of Sinulog.



Justification: Plea to the Lord, Snr. Sto Niño (Holy Child) whose feast is observed during Sinulog.


Justification: Long live, call on to the Lord. More likely, praising to Snr.Sto Niño
