Thousands of spectators yesterday filled a main street in Mandaue City to watch street dancing by six contingents in Spanish-period costumes for the Panagtagbo Festival.

Dancers performed to lively, pre-taped music as the parade occupied A.C. Cortes Avenue and headed to the Mandaue City sports complex where a showdown would be held at 8 p.m. and contest awards announced.

“Panagtagbo” which means “meeting” in Cebuano was originally Mandaue’s participation during the ritual transfer of the Sto. Nino icon from Cebu City to Mandaue city during the religious feast of the Holy Child in January.
