#pitsenyor #santonino #cebuphilippines CEBU CITY, Philippines — Nearly 2 million devotees joined the Fiesta Señor’s solemn foot procession, turning major roads into a sea of people despite the scorching heat, on Saturday, January 17, 2026. Councilor Dave Tumulak, chair of the Cebu City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (CCDRRMC), said the turnout for this year’s solemn procession surpassed last year’s crowd estimate of 1.4 million, based on post-event assessments by city authorities. The solemn foot procession, a central religious highlight of Fiesta Señor, covered an estimated 5.5-kilometer route. Devotees filled not only the main roads but also sidewalks, side streets, and areas surrounding the Basilica Minore del Sto. Niño de Cebu. From above, the procession route appeared extending wall to wall with worshippers, with barely a patch of pavement was visible. Devotees walked, prayed, and raised images of the Holy Child under the intense afternoon sun
