Christmas Ham for the Paskong Pinoy Celebration – Popular Brands and Prices

October 19, 2020 By Cille Anne

christmas ham philippines prices and brands

“Kulang ang pasko kung walang hamon.” That statement maybe an over-generalization but you’ve got to admit it, you’ve heard it uttered maybe by someone you know, in the movies, in tv show interviews, or you may have even said it yourself.  Many Filipinos, especially those who can afford a little luxury, want and expect to have a Christmas ham serve during Noche Buena. For them, the holiday celebration just isn’t complete without the presence of smoked or cured ham on Christmas eve. Having ham on the dining table also signifies that medyo nakakaraos ka sa buhay kasi afford mo, kahit one time lang, kahit tuwing pasko lang.  Yes, Christmas ham is still considered a luxury product that many Filipinos only partake once a year. This is because they are a bit pricey, usually ranging from P200 to P2,000 and higher. Not to mention that many of these special hams are only widely available during the ‘ber’ months.  The Christmas ham is very popular that one ham ...

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 ...

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 ...
