WHY FOREIGNERS PREFER TO STUDY IN THE PHILIPPINES? 🤔🇵🇭

Through the past years, it is not only the tourist destinations they came for the Philippines but also its education.Many foreigners come to the Philippines in pursuant of their education because it is much cheaper than other countries and also because of its low-cost of living. They can pursue their desired degree whilst improving their English skills because it used by everyone in their daily lives.

" CELEBRATING CHRISTMAS IN THE PHILIPPINES"

The Philippines is popularly known for having the world’s longest and merriest Christmas season. Every year, Filipinos from around the world mark September 1 as the beginning of the countdown to Christmas. This countdown, which spans from September to December, otherwise known as the "Ber Months". When they hear of the “ber” months, people already feel the Christmas-vibe. Imagine, Filipinos celebrating the holiday for four months, starting from September until early January when the Epiphany, or the Feast of the Three Kings, is celebrated.

Even before the month of December arrives, Christmas songs are already being played on the radio or in the malls and Christmas trees, lights and decors are already sold in the market. This is how early the spirit of Christmas can be felt in the Philippines. You can already hear Christmas music playing everywhere; children going around the neighborhood singing Christmas carols in front of every house; and would hear people saying, “Christmas na!”, though it is still two months away.

Most of the time people are encouraged to participate in this series of “simbang gabi” or "Misa De Gallo" because of the belief that if one completes the nine mornings of epiphany; one wish shall be granted to them. Filipinos go to church at 4 o’clock in the morning and afterward have breakfast together. The traditional drink during this season is a warm ginger tea, called salabat, and the traditional treats are bibingka and p**o bumbong sold outside churches after the dawn Mass.

The Christmas parties which Filipinos are also fond of organizing are also classified in many celebrations.
The school and office party which is usually celebrated one week before Christmas is different from the party which is meant only for the family. These parties usually serve as a reunion wherein relatives outside the country reunite with their family here in the Philippines.

Christmas is for the children, a most-awaited day because it’s the day for them to visit their uncles, aunts, godmothers and godfathers and relatives who present them with gifts, usually candies, a toy or crisp bills of money called "aginaldo".

While we live by many traditions to celebrate Christmas, may we continue to remember and celebrate the true essence of Christmas: “THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST”

Today I will share a news that everybody is talking about, locally and international.
The Philippines will host the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, or the 30th SEA Games. It will happen on November 30, 2019, tomorrow to December 11, 2019. This is the fourth time that the country will playing host to the multi-sport activity. The competitions will happen in different main venues: Metro Manila, Clark, Subic/Olongapo and Tagaytay.
The 11 members of the Southeast Asian Games Federation are joining the 2019 SEA Games: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, East Timor and Vietnam. A total of 56 sports are going to be played, which makes this year’s SEA Games the biggest in terms of the number of sports included.
Some would wonder why the country with seemingly endless problems and priorities will host a regional sporting event. But, according to Phisgos, the country is making an investment to establish the country’s reputation as a premier sports destination. It is also said to be a great opportunity for the tourism of the country because of the venues that the sports will held.
Despite the concerns and controversies that involves the government. Still the Philippines is rooting for a peaceful and successful hosting of the 2019 SEA GAMES.

That's all for now, see you next post :)

Hello, Everyone!

Today I will just share to you an introduction to the most important season in the Philippines which is the Christmas Season. The Philippines is known for celebrating the longest Christmas season in the world! When the “BER” (September-December) month strikes, the country is literally transformed into a spectacle of colors and lights. The streets are adorned with dazzling Christmas lights and almost every house has a display of parol (star-shaped lantern) and other colorful Christmas decors. Also the food during the Christmas season is just amazingly delicious. These are some destinations in the Philippines, you might want to visit during the Christmas season.

San Fernando, Pampanga. Where the province illuminates when with lanterns that are proudly made by the Locals. There’s also an annual Lantern festival where massive lanterns with dazzling lights and sound are exhibit.

Cebu City. The Queen City of the South, offers iconic churches and destinations that are best visited during the Christmas season.

Palawan. ‘Christmas in Paradise’ is probably the best way to describe the island of Palawan if you plan to visit this province during Christmas time. With beautiful beaches and natural wonders. Local cuisine is also worth a try, and the cleanliness is something worth mentioning. If you are planning to celebrate Christmas and New Year, then Palawan is a place worth considering.

Baguio City. It doesn’t snow in the Philippines, but if you want the closest thing to chilly/cold weather during the Christmas Season, then it is a great idea to visit the ‘Summer Capital of the Philippines’. Enjoy sidewalk bazaars, night markets, sales, and the winter vibe without spending too much. You can also buy fresh fruits and vegetables here which is in low cost.

These are just some of the places you must consider to visit when you decided to retire here in the Philippines and spend your Christmas during your stay here 🙂
