 CHINESE NEW YEAR CELEBRATION
Movable
City of Manila
Manila's Filipino-Chinese community gives an all-out bash to usher in the new year. It all happens in Binondo, home to the city's Chinatown. Traditional dragon dancers make their appearance, complete with live cultural performances and a spectacular fireworks display. A true taste of China in the heart
of Manila. |
 PAINIT SA PASKO
December 16-24
Regionwide
Now cooking at the local church: the nine days of the Misa de Gallo, or dawn mass, will once again be a feast for the Filipino tastebuds. In a time-honored tradition, delicious native face like the chewy puto-bumbong, tasty bibingka and sweet cacao will be sold right after the eucharist. Take our word for it -- munching on these is the best way to start those calm, chilly December mornings. |
