Mga Kwentong Pasko – Childhood Christmas Dream Comes True

September 13, 2021 By Melanie Miguel Liang

I can get used to this view. ❤️ Growing up poor, we never had our own house. Sa palengke lang kami nakatira, yung pwesto namin na pinagtitindahan, converted sa isang room sa bandang likod para may tulugan kaming 4 na magkakapatid with our ima. And during Christmas Season, my very young heart would wish na sana ma experience namin yung mga napapanood lang namin sa TV. Yung busy ang mommy na nagpe-prepare ng masasarap na food, yung daddy nagra-wrap ng gifts, and the kids would wake up very early in the morning, looking so clean and neat on their jammies, excited to open their presents under a very tall christmas tree. It was just a lovely scene I kept in my imagination for a very long time. Because the truth was, our situation back then was the opposite. Our ima was busy managing everything. Paghahango ng prutas from Batangas at Divisoria. While we, four sisters, would keep the ball rolling sa tindahan. Experts kami sa pangangalburo ng mangga. Kasama din kami sa ...

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 ...
