The street dancing competition of the Sandurot Festival started around 3:30 pm during a hot afternoon. You can somehow feel pity for the young dancers who had to walk around the streets. Then again, it was the Sandurot Festival! You can see how eager they were to give their very best performance to bring honor to their respective barangays and schools! The route of the competition started from the Rizal Boulevard going to the Silliman Hall (two of Dumaguete’s famous tourist spot). Then making a turn to Portal West, then down to the Dumaguete Cathedral and the Dumaguete Belltower. The final stop would be making a small turn for the City Hall.
