Sinulog 2023 – it’s a wrap, or is it?
Publish date: January 16, 2023

Hey, Poker Playas!

We are still in Cebu, Due to some booking problems but will be back in Manila tomorrow.

We will miss the Pre-event but will be present at the Main Event of the Metro PPT.

There are still a lot of players from Manila that are still in Cebu enjoying moments there.

What is Cebu to enjoy since the tournament is done?

A lot! but what happened after the tournament ended? here what happens.

But first!

Sometimes we wonder why we are in a situation, and sometimes we have to look back and realize that it was because of a decision we made and Karma has spun its wheel.

But sometimes it is the divine way of saying it is not yet time and he has a great plan for you. but first, you need to learn your lessons.

Never lose faith and let fate lead the way.

Stuck in cebu

Bayanihan

Some players got stuck trying to come back to Manila, thankfully the bayanihan of the Filipinos is alive. Ivy Vp with the voyager staff tried to help out the players to help ease the problem, well to do Cebu players chipped in to help others. Even Manila did the same. Due to the massive increase in the price of the ticket going home.

The price of the ticket went as high as PHP 20,000 plus and more. A good lesson for a lot of the players.

But then again it was the Sinulog festival. Some players wanted to see the festival, it was hard to go to the festive area but there were some motorcycle rides available.

SInulog 2023

Sinulog ng kabataan

Some players were able to reach the parade ground while some were at the end of the parade. There were many people on the parade ground, time passed, and players enjoyed the festivities.

Some came back to the room, some went out to party some more.

Some even went to the poker room to play.

That is the best thing about the Poker houses compared to the poker rooms in Manila.

Slowly the night turn darker and it was time to rest.

Even after the tournament has ended. there still more story to tell.
