This year’s colorful celebration of the Sinulog Festival in honor of Señor Santo Niño became an opportunity for Filipino-Germans to converge and showcase their talent, creativity and hardwork. Consul General Marie Yvette L. Banzon Abalos and Deputy Consul General Rogelio E. Villanueva joined the celebratory Masses, novenas, street dancing and merriment to honor the Sto. Nino in Rottenburg /Stuttgart, and Frankfurt/Limburg areas, respectively. The Consulate emphasized that “our country today continues to be bound together as one nation because of every Sto. Nino believer, including Filipino-German devotees.”
