Once September arrives, itโ€™s the unofficial start of Christmas. We can already hear Jose Mari Chanโ€™s voice echoing everywhere from malls to radios to internet memes. It marks the start of the longest holiday season in the world. Untangling Christmas lights, dusting off the parols, and kids knocking at your door with their tin cans singing carols.

The Philippines is known around the world for celebrating Christmas for the longest period of time, stretching from September to January.
As soon as the "Ber months" arrive, Filipinos enthusiastically start counting down to their holidays. The Filipino Christmas season will never be complete without the tradition of caroling, that fills neighborhoods with the cheerful voices of children singing outside your home in exchange for coins or treats. Caroling also reminds us that Christmas is not just about lavish feasts and expensive gifts, it's also about giving and receiving blessings in simple ways.

Beyond caroling, Ber months are also the time when homes come alive with Christmas spirit adorned with vibrant decorations, twinkling parols, and dazzling lights that fill every street with warmth and joy. These decorations not only brighten up spaces but also symbolize hope, unity, and the spirit of togetherness.

For Filipinos, the โ€˜Ber monthsโ€™ arenโ€™t just about counting down to December 25, itโ€™s about extending the joy of Christmas. An early start serves everyone an opportunity to celebrate longer, bond stronger, and share more joy. Whether hearing the cheerful voice of kids singing carols or admiring the glow of parols on a cold and chilly night one thing is for sure the Christmas spirit in the Philippines is already vibrant and alive by September.

Christmas is not just a holiday, but itโ€™s a way of life that connects and unites us.

Ang Buwan ng Wika ay hindi lamang panahon para sa tradisyonal na mga damit, ngunit ito ay tungkol sa pagpapakitang kahalagahan sa magkakaiba at mayamang kasanayan namayroon tayo sa ating kultural na pamana. Bilang mga Pilipino, dapat nating yakapin ang ating magkakaibang mga wika at diyalekto, na isama ang mga ito sa ating pang-araw-araw napag-uusap sa mga tahanan, paaralan, at komunidad.

Pagyamanin natin ang ating buhay gamit ang magandang kulturana mayroon tayo at pahalagahan ang mga tradisyon maging ang pag-awit, pagsayaw o pagkukuwento. Sa pamamagitan ng paggawa nito, binibigyang-inspirasyon natin hindi lamang ang ating sarili kundi pati na rin ang mga nakapaligid sa atin, nanagpapaunlad ng sama-samang pagpapahalaga sa kagandahan at lalim ng ating pagkakakilanlan.

Sama-sama nating tiyakin na ang diwa ng ating kultura ay hindilamang kinikilala kundi masiglang buhay, tumatatak sa puso at isipan ng mga susunod na henerasyon. Sa pamamagitan ng atingmga aksyon at dedikasyon, maaari nating linangin ang isangkultura ng pagmamataas na sumasalamin sa ating natatanginglugar sa mundo.
