Can’t leave and go on my trip before dropping by here. Always grateful and blessed for His guidance. Fridays are most crowded but you can visit any time of the week which is much easy to move around.

Historical church is a popular landmark in Cebu. I strongly believe that whatever you wish to him, he will give you as long as you have a clean heart and a strong drive for your hopes and dreams.

Morning vespers are awesome at 530 am when the gates are open - auras and reflective courtyard is wonderful for the weary traveller

When in Cebu, never miss the chance of visiting the Basilica Minore del Santo Niño.

Back when I was a kid, I thought that the cross is this huge slab of wood. My expectations was wrong obviously. Great place to visit a page in our history books .

It's a very old and historical church . It's good to pray and attend a mass here. The place may be crowded most of the time with locals and tourists . Be careful with pickpocketers and the like.

The best place to feel the presence of Sr. Sto.Niño ???? don't forget to take picture of the known "Magellan's Cross" that is just right outside the basilica. ????

Don't forget to go say prayers when you're in Cebu it's our birth place of Faith when Magellan arrived (rediscovered) in Cebu!

Don't miss the candle ladies wearing yellow or red skirts who will willingly pray for you while doing a tribal-like dance , which is also called the "Sinulog " dance .

Towards the end of the Lenten season the statues and main altar are covered. The statue of Santo Niño is not covered.

Sing "Batobalani Sa Gugma" with all ur heart by raising ur hand!

rain or shine for masses held outside, there are big umbrellas for free use -- nice ones with yellow and red design.

Basilica Minore del Santo Niño is one of the popular churches in the nation. The site was the spot where an image of Sto. Niño was seen by the Spaniards in 1565, preserved inside a burned wooden box.

Did you know: The basilica was built by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi and Fr. Andres Urdaneta at the site where the image of Santo Niño was found in 1565.

i got teary eyed in each mass i attended! I really feel your presence Sr Sto. Niño! you are really the magnet of love! Viva Pit Señor !!!

Santo Niño, Hope of the People. Unwavering faith of Santo Niño de Cebú. ????????????

Extended Parking Areas available near SRP entrance and city . If you are planning to attend the Novena Mass.

The most famous in Cebu. Good to go the sundays and also for tourists . Rest some mins in the garden at fountain .

Do you know that the Sto. Niño of Cebu is flown to Iloilo every Dinagyang Festival . That is why the Ilonggo festival is one week late as compared to other Sto. Niño festivals .

The top attraction in Cebu, an interesting place to visit and learn about the importance of Catholicism in the Philippines.

You can have women do the "sinulog " (they ask for your family name and pray for you) when you buy their 10-peso candles.

At the back of the big plaza church is the museum . But they only open on Sundays. Some interesting things to see inside the church .

The Santo Niño that they display in the altar is a replica. The original Santo Niño appears only during processions and during the dinagyang festival .

You'll see one of the most old patron saint in the Philippines. Sto. Niño de Cebu. This is the best place to thank God's blessings.

You must try Puto & Sikwate in the stall beside Chowking. It's the best in town . The muscovado sugar completes it all. Yum :)

always this crowded every Sinulog

Taking a snap of the Holy Pilgrim Shrine 's not allowed during Holy Masses. If you can't help it, grab one when the guard 's busy, or arrive at the scene before the Holy Mass.
