Wolf Moon Eclipse to be visible in Cebu on January 11

Wolf Moon Eclipse to be visible in Cebu on January 11

Fortunate are those who have witnessed the past eclipses in the Philippines. However, to those who haven’t, fret no more because you are in for some late Christmas present.

An eclipse is an event where a celestial body passes into the shadow of another body. Most common ones are the Solar eclipse and Lunar eclipse which happens in the Eclipse season.

Luckily this 2020, in time for the launch of Sinulog 2020, we will be able to witness a “wolf moon” coinciding with a penumbral lunar eclipse.

PENUMBRAL LUNAR ECLIPSE

January 11, 2020 at 3:21AM (Peak)

During this Penumbral Lunar Eclipse, the Earth’s main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth’s shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event.

A Penumbral Lunar Eclipse can be a bit hard to see as the shadowed part is only a little bit fainter than the rest of the Moon.

Penumbral Eclipse begins 1:07AM
Maximum Eclipse 3:21AM
Penumbral Eclipse ends 5:12AM

According to NASA, the moon will be at its fullest at 3:21AM (Manila time) on January 11, but the time at which the moon rises will depend on your location.

Watching this tomorrow? Take photos and tag @SugboPH on Facebook and Instagram so we can share them.

MyBus offers FREE rides from SM Seaside to Malacanang sa Sugbo (near Sto. Niño Church) on January 10 to 19

It seems like we would run out of excuses not to be able to complete the novena masses. Free Bus rides mga Cebuanos.

The difficulty of transportation to and from during the 9-day novena mass is as known as Sinulog itself. A great number of devotees flock right at the center of the busy streets of Colon, and navigating your way in and out of the crowd is already hard enough.

This challenge has made the Cebu City Sinulog Governing Board (SGB) to partner with SM Seaside for the free transportation of devotees to and from the mall.

“We really urge the devotees to park their cars in these malls then ride the bus to Basilica because this will reduce the car volumes in the area and lessen the traffic” – SGB.

We hope that this program of the SGB will be a success and that we all follow the rules and be cautious always for the safety of all.

Let us all help for a safer Sinulog.

  • Implementation Dates: January 10 – 19, 2020
  • Routes:
    • SM Seaside City Cebu to Malacanang sa Sugbo;
    • Malacanang sa Sugbo to SM Seaside City Cebu
  • Waiting Area: Mountain Wing Atrium next to Bigbys
  • SM Seaside also offers FREE parking.

LOOK: Bayanihan Spirit seen in Medellin, Cebu

It is high time we show the world what Filipinos are capable of.

In a time when Filipinos tend to have put more importance to the foreign culture and things more than our own, Medellin in northern Cebu has showed the whole nation patriotism in its best way.

With an impregnable bayanihan spirit, 50 locals from Barangay Tindog in Medellin hand-carried their purok center to its permanent location beside their community stage.

This bayanihan spirit sets an example for the rest of the municipalities on exhibiting an important part of our rich culture.

Community Spirit, fondly called as bayanihan, is the ability to help one another without expecting for anything in return.

May this small act of bayanihan ignite the fire in every single one of you to also help our fellows, especially in time of adversity, without expecting for anything in return.

We, from Sugbo, being ambassadors of goodwill, are hoping for every one of us to help in keeping our rich culture alive by recognizing its value and importance.

LOOK: True-to-Life Engagement Photoshoot in Cebu

A new year means a new beginning.

Save-the-date invites, wedding props, memorable souvenirs, and engagement photos are a great way to convey the love and chemistry you have with your partner.

So you always have to make sure that when you are brainstorming for a prenuptial shoot theme, you have to stick to things that speak a lot about the two of you.

One perfect example is the recent engagement shoot of Angelie Jean and Paul. They wanted to keep their engagement shoot as natural and as authentic as possible hence, this came about.

Their photographer, Gail Geriane unleashed her creative juices and came up with these realistic scenarios in her photos. Photos that clearly depict what it’s like to be married. They are going into marriage eyes open wide.

Yes, marriage life is not easy. But if you’re someone like Anj or Poy who would smile amidst difficulties, what could go wrong?

“Well I guess it’s a new year and a new last name”.- Anj

 They are going to have a new life, but the same old love.

Cool Off at Cambuhawe Spring in Balamban

A new year calls for a new adventure.

Thanks to Balamban’s Best, we can escape the heat of the city and swim in a natural spring pool after only a few hours’ drive.

If you’re someone who is looking for a great escape from the busy life of the city during the Sinulog festivities, visit the Cambuhawe Spring Swimming Pool nestled in Balamban.

With natural flowing water coming from a mountain spring, you can spend your day cooling off in its cold water. Entrance fee is only ₱20 per head.

Moreso, such features an olympic-size swimming pool so you can never really go asking for more space to swim and enjoy.

Though it has already opened previously, the spring has underwent maintenance to be of better service to her visitors on January 4, 2020. Truly, what a great news to start the year! Kudos Balamban LGU for initiating such beautification.

Nonetheless, as advocates of being a responsible laagan, may we remind you to leave with nothing, but footprints.

REMINDERS:

  • The spring is closed every Tuesday and Wednesday for maintenance.
  • Wear proper swimming attire.
  • No food nor drink within the pool premises.
  • Cleanliness and safety should be strictly observed at all times.
