The term Sogod is an English term for beginning. And this was one of the reasons why the town of Sogod in Cebu started the Panagsogod Festival as not just a colorful celebration but a tradition in the local place. Even in the legends of the town, Sogod is said to be the place where the white sands stretching far from the north really began and the place is also said as the borderline of the black and white beaches in Northern Cebu. The magic and wonder in Sogod have made the town not just a place to discover but also a place to unravel and explore. The Panagsogod Festival brings the banner of the word sogod which means beginning. This is also a celebration festooned with colorful shades of street dancing and fiesta celebration of the town. The Panagsogod Festival is honored to the patron saint of Sogoranon, St. James the Apostle. The Panagsogod Festival is an annual event in Sogod and it is just not a showcase of Sogod’s rich cultural heritage and natural wonders but also it is the time for the Sogoranons to become united with each other that will promote unity and peace all over the town. Local officials from Sogod make it sure that every year, the festival is a celebration of the true Sogoranon’s quality and attitude. In the town of Sogod, The Panagsogod festival is also one way of the place to attract foreign visitors and business that might have an interest in the town’s bounty and beauty.
