Niño in the Philippines after a logo-making contest for the quincentennial celebration came up.&quot;[I thought,] why not?&quot; he said, recalling before he was assigned to draw the logo.Rosillo explained that his strong faith in the Santo Niño de Cebú (Child Jesus) made him come up with a &quot;very strong&quot; concept for the design of the logo.&quot;I chose to have it in different colors, to express the likings of a child,&quot; Rosillo said in vernacular. The logo is in a shape of a pentagon, with each side representing the five centuries of Christianity. An image of the Sto. Nino, with hands receiving it from below, depicts the Cebuanos who first held it in 1521. <div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2019/life/12/04/c2.jpg"/><figcaption>An example of Rosillo&#x27;s logo.</figcaption></figure></div>The galleon that carried the image of the child Jesus towards Cebu City, is also included in the logo.&quot;The concept just came because of my faith,&quot; he said.Rosillo&#x27;s logo will appear in some collaterals for the quincentennial celebration in 2021, which will start in the Archdiocese of Cebu.
