A group of Sinulog attendees wearing "I Love 2Go" tank tops got booed during the festival's grand parade over the weekend.
They reportedly took the Santo Niño from the Sinulog Festival Queen and asked her to take a photo of them. Finding it disrespectful, other spectators gave them a loud boo.
Photos of the incident have made their way online, amassing more negative comments from netizens.
"These 2GO models forgot what the festival is all about," Twitter user @pastor_ey said. "I'm not a Catholic but IMHO what they did was disrespect."
"Shame. You don't do that to the sinulog festival queen!," @smithered tweeted.
Chang Euldan, who posted the photos online, wrote the following as caption, "Nakaangkon ug daku nga #BOO sa mga katawhan sa granstand ang float sa 2GO Travel! Grabe pagka displeased sa mga manan-away sa #sinulog tungod ang festival queen maoy ilang gipa shoot atubangan sa libuan ka mga tawo atol sa ilang parada! Makalagot gyud kaayo tan-awon! Walay mga disiplina ilang mga models!"
(The float of 2Go Travel received a loud boo from the crowd. People were displeased because they asked the Festival Queen to take a photo of them. It was so irritating to see. Their models don't have discipline.)
Having able to see them in person a couple of times, NoypiStuff instantly recognized two of the men in the photos as members of the Philippine Volcanoes, the national rugby team. Based on a quick search on the athletes' social media accounts, the lady with them is a former "Pinoy Big Brother" housemate and a Miss Earth-Philippines runner-up, who is a Cebuana.
