Addressing the article regarding the parties in SRP during Sinulog released by Sunstar today, January 7, 2018, we, from the LifeDance organizing team would like to express that we acknowledge that Councilor Dave Tumulak is doing his job and we applaud his commitment to serving for the best interest of the community and the public.
In that same light, we at LifeDance, since the first event in 2012 have been committed to complying with safety and security measures to the highest standards. This is in fact, already going to be our 8th festival. With regards to traffic, we are working together with the City Government in addressing this concern so that it will not disrupt anyone.
The public’s best interest has always been our top priority in the course of our operations and we intend to uphold that in our principles as an organization. The reason why LifeDance is on Friday despite many asking for it to be on Saturday is because we respect the Sunday Parade and we would want our audience to enjoy the essence of Sinulog as a religious and cultural celebration.
With that said, we would like to request every one to refrain from posting any negative comments about the government as they only have what is best for the City at heart. The City Government is working closely with LifeDance to ensure that we comply to the standards needed for this to be an event that works best for the public’s interest. Let us all handle the matter with an open mind and understanding.
Best Regards,
The LifeDance Organizing Team
