You know it’s Christmas in the Philippines when…
Here we list five Filipino Christmas symbols that mark the beginning of the most meaningful celebration in every Filipino family.
The Parol or Christmas lantern to light the way of the lost and wayward.

Christmas Caroling , brought to you by the ChurchChoir or the street boys.

Bibingka, puto bungbong at iba pa. Food, food, food everywhere you turn there’s blessed food!


The pinoy Christmas tree. Be it a poinsettia plant, a twig on a plant pot, or even the Perla soap Christmas tree…

Simbang Gabi . Cool nights, solemn masses and blessed food (but of course)
