Levi Celerio and His Famous Songs for Christmas

May 13, 2020 By Celebrate Christmas

ang pasko ay sumapit carollers

When it comes to Filipino artists, Levi Celerio is among those on the top. Over his lifetime, he wrote and composed countless Original Pilipino Music (OPM), folk songs, and also Christmas songs.  The most famous Christmas song he wrote stood the test of time and almost every Pinoy know the lyrics by heart.  The younger generation may not know who Levi Celerio is, not even his name, but they have definitely heard the song he wrote the lyrics of, ang awiting pampasko “Ang Pasko ay Sumapit”.  Though there is a bit of controversy surrounding the song, since “Ang Pasko Ay Sumapit” is supposedly inspired by the much earlier produced Cebuano Christmas carol “Kasadya Ning Takna-a”, which in English translates to “How Joyous Is The Season”.  The two songs share the same upbeat melody but the lyrics differ. Celerio’s lyrics was penned in Tagalog, while Kasadya was penned in Cebuano.  Kasadya Ning Takna-a was composed and copyrighted in 1933 by Mariano Vestil ...

OFWs Misses Their Family Especially on Christmas

May 11, 2020 By Celebrate Christmas

sad christmas ofw

Our modern day heroes, the Overseas Filipino Workers or OFW, struggles with homesickness most especially during the Christmas season. They miss their family so much during the holiday. They also miss paskong pinoy the way it's celebrated back home. But they have to continue sacrificing so that their families may have a brighter future. Christmas is very important in the Philippines and to the Filipinos. This is the time when family bondings, friends gatherings as well as clan reunions come one after the other. This is the season to be joyous, a season to feast, a season to follow traditions and make wonderful memories with love ones. But what if you are an OFW? Overseas Filipino Workers deeply feel na nasa malayo talaga sila lalong lalo na sa kapanahunan ng Pasko. Wala sila sa piling ng pamilya, wala sila sa mga salo-salo, wala sila sa kasiyahan. Ngunit, kakayanin nila. At kaya nila dahil lahat ng sakripisyo ay para sa mga mahal sa buhay na nasa Pilipinas.  Can you ...

Do Filipino Kids Truly Believe in Santa Claus Bringing Them Gifts?

May 7, 2020 By Celebrate Christmas

pamasko aguinaldo

This question has been bugging me, do Filipino kids truly believe in Santa Claus the way their western counterparts believe in the guy in the red suit bearing gifts? The belief in the west is that from the North Pole on Christmas Eve, December 24, Santa Claus will travel the world over and will descend on houses of good boys and good girls to give gifts.  Santa will cruise on his sleigh being pulled by his 8 reindeers, namely rudolph, comet, prancer, dasher, blitzen, cupid, dancer, vixen, donner. He will come carrying a big, huge bag with all the gifts created and made by the elves.  If a child is good, Santa will go down the chimney and then leave a gift for the child under the Christmas tree. Santa will also eat the cookies and drink the milk left by the kid under the tree the night before. After which, Santa Claus is now off to the next house on his list.  Santa will do this for all the countries with good boys and good girls and he must complete the ...

May 6, 2020 By Celebrate Christmas

abs cbn christmas station id december 2020

For many fans of ABS-CBN, which used to be the Philippines largest network before their franchise ended, their star-studded Christmas Station ID is something to look forward to every December.

But now that the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) has issued a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) againts the network and with the latter’s subsequent shutdown starting evening of May 5, are we looking up at a Pasko that we won't be hearing and seeing the ABS-CBN Christmas Station ID? If the network’s franchise renewal will not be granted, then that could be a reality this coming 2020 holiday season. How will the fans take this news?

Simbang Gabi Pre-Dawn Masses – A Filipino Christmas Tradition

April 15, 2020 By Celebrate Christmas

simbang gabi tradition

In the Philippines, one tradition that clearly marks or symbolizes Christmas is the ‘Simbang Gabi’. The literal translation of Simbang Gabi is “Night Mass”. Catholic Filipinos attend mass for nine straight days. These masses are held at the break of dawn, with some service as early as 4 AM. This Paskong Pinoy tradition started when the Philippines was under Spanish colonial rule. At its start, the masses were celebrated at night, hence it's named 'Simbang Gabi'. Later on the churches adjusted the service schedule to early dawn, this is to accommodate the countless natives who needs to sleep early and wake up early to tend to the farms. Simbang Gabi Starts in the Philippines Simbang Gabi starts on December 16 and ends in December 24 of every year.
