CEBU CITY, Philippines –Plan your Sunday trips ahead.
The Cebu City Transportation Office (CCTO) is asking motorists to especially avoid using roads that will form part of the route for the Pasigarbo sa Sugbo street dancing competition.
Paul Gotiong, the CCTO spokesperson, said the Pasigarbo’s street dancing route will be closed to vehicular traffic starting at noontime on Sunday, August 28.
A traffic rerouting scheme will also be implemented in some of the major thoroughfares in the city until the parade is over, he added.
The Pasigarbo sa Sugbo street dancing competition is scheduled at 2 p.m. while its grand showdown at the Cebu City Sports Center stage starts at 5 p.m.
“Actually, as early as 10 a.m., we will mobilize na since we all know (that) there are 50 contingents. Part of the bulk will be the staging area, and we also need to clear the parade route,” he told CDN Digital.
“We will deploy until the event will finish which is estimated around 1 a.m. As for the parade route, once the presentations will start and roads are cleared, we will open it,” he added.
Gotiong said more than 300 CCTO personnel will help man the traffic on the Pasigarbo sa Sugbo route.
