A group of dancers from a fishing firm owned by a fishing magnate dance below the Welcome Arch at the Queen Tuna Park while waiting for the image of Sto. Niño on board a fishing boat at the Fluvial Parade winding its way across Sarangani Bay along with 300 other vessels.

These dancers form part of 11 contingents which participated in the ISDA-ISDAAN Festival street dancing competition, part of the celebration of the 30th Patronal Fiesta of Bula Parish.
The Sto. Niño de Cebu replica image of this girl is the most common found in Pinoy altars.
