Information about Nasingin Island and the Fiesta

Nasingin is an island located at Latitude 10.1797 Longitude 124.124...

It is an island surrounded by lots of mangroves which people use to build their houses or which they called "Payag"..People in this island speaks Visayan Language. Children there learn at Nasingin Elementary School 'till Grade 1 - 6..When they reach the High School Level they need to travel using a small boat or which they called "Sakayan" from Nasingin to Getafe in order to learn High School Level Teachings to reach their goal. As what I think that is alot of effort, Waking up 5:00 in the morning to catch the early "Sakayan", It cost Money too because "Sakayan" transportation isn't free...They need to pay 20 or 40 pesos per ride(I had this Idea because when i went there from Cebu > Nasingin 40 pesos is the fare). 

Nasingin's Main Fiesta is for Santa Cruz which is celebrated on May 28th. My Family and close relatives attends the fiesta because my father, his brothers,sisters and cousins are from that place. Even if the electric supply of the place is powered through a generator which is run by gasoline, the fiesta is still as fun as there ain't no problems to come. I'm saying it because i have gone there 18 years of my life and enjoyed it very well. There is a Fluvial Parade(Using The "Sakayan") in the Morning during the day of the Fiesta. There is a Main Sakayan(Bigger than the other) used for the parade and other small "Sakayans" are following it. People inside it are Dancing,Singing,Making Use Of Recycled Drums and More. Imagine how very enjoying it is to watch it. And at Night, there are Stage Plays, Singing and Dancing Competition, Comedy Acts and also what everybody is craving for is Disco, Hahah.

It's Such fun being part of the fiesta for nearly two decades. I've never regretted going to the place.
