Starting on September 1st, Filipino households set up their Belén, or a nativity scene, hang up paról, a Christmas ornament unique to the Philippines, and radio stations begin playing Christmas carols. It is a time of celebration when parades, parties, and concerts crowd calendars.

PAROL

Parol is a symbol of Christmas. The lantern is an important part of our Filipino tradition. It is a symbol of the star used by the three king Mago to lead to Bethlehem, a guide to Jesus

CAROLING

Caroling

In the Metro, the children who ride are not noticed much anymore, as well as the group of adults who ride. But in the provinces, the said custom is still not lost. Christmas is not complete without children or groups singing outside each house saying "namamamasko po" after they have played their prepared song. In teaching, especially for children, it doesn't matter if you are in tune because the important thing is that you enjoy what you are doing. Children are happy with just coins and candy.

NOCHE BUENA

Noche Buena

An important tradition in Filipino culture is Noche Buena. It is a Spanish word that means "good night". It comes from Spain that serves as a feast for Christmas and a time to give thanks for the previous year. It is usually celebrated every Christmas Eve. It has three important parts: the party, sharing, and the opening of gifts.

SIMBANG GABI

Simbang gabi is a traditional celebration in the Philippines during the Christmas season. It is also called Misa-de-galyo. Filipino Catholics consider the evening to be a preparation for the birth of Jesus Christ. Here in Perth, this practice continues to be practiced.
