Just an FYI, Jenn and Leon, that the Beautiful Philippine used to be an American territory. Stay safe and enjoy the hospitality of the Filipino people. 🎉🇵🇭🇺🇸
Its weird for me to hear "merry Christmas" this early in September😅 but its nice to see families & just everyone young & old enjoying themselves. I guess this is one of the reasons why Filipinos are very family oriented & joyful is because they always have a family bonding or at least occasions like weekends to get together & have fun.
Christmas is the most celebrated tradition of the year here, it is the happiest occasion where families are reunited with other members or love ones. It’s a time of gift giving and traditional foods abound during noche buena (midnight of Dec.24).
I had the chance to meet his wife as one of our clients at the office. We had a small talk and mentioned that "Perfect Christmas" is my favorite song of JMC. An hour later, he arrived, chatted with the everyone in the office and asked our names before leaving. That was early in August but we already felt the Holidays, we're smiling like kids the whole time. Before we close the office, he went back and gave a bag full of Chirstmas album(CD) with a short note and a staff name written on each of the CD❤. Years later, I'd still say that it was the highlight of my stay in that company😅
And i love watching you two. Watching frim sfo. Albang is my hometown my mom is there. Will see her in a month. Enjoy you two. Sorry for the rain .gals you enjoyed.
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed the vlog. It was a great day. I bet it will be so nice to be reunited with your Mom. I know we miss ours dearly while traveling!🙏🏼
As a filipino who has been away for many years now, this warms my heart… and i miss it so much!!! By the way, aside from christmas, new year’s eve is also something else there.. it will look like a war zone … but in a happy way 😀… more power to your channel..
Any time soon starting "Ber" months shopping malls are putting and decorating their shops with christmas trees, streets and buildings with lights all over Metro Manila and other cities of the country. New Years eve here is incomparable.
Oh really? I knew about the Christmas but hadn't heard about the New Years! Good to know! We are always looking for fun countries to ring in the New Year!
@@JennandLeon Festival of Lights at Ayala Triangle Garden , Makati City is happening on 2nd Wk of November onwards every 6pm to 10pm its part of traditional Christmas celebrations that the Ayala Malls Corp offers to the public for free. The most stunning spectacle of lights with matching Christmas songs maybe not seen in any other countries.
Merry Christmas lovely couple and your welcome,enjoy your staying here..but sorry about the rainy season this month..stay safe always .✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭..
Thank you so much! That’s ok we knew it was rainy season! We will return during the dry season too and explore more of the country. Thank you for watching 🙏🏼🇵🇭
I'm from Metro Manila and have been to many malls. In my 40 years of existence, I never had the chance to see Jose Marie Chan. You guys are so lucky! Thanks for sharing it with us!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! How wonderful that you got to watch Sir Jose Mari Chan's concert. Made me smile just to see him. He's such a lovely man and his songs are wonderful. My favorite is 'Can We Just Stop and Talk Awhile' released in the 70s i think. Take a listen to it. It's such a lovely song. ❤
I travelled to the Philippines in September 2017, really threw me off to see Christmas being celebrated that early. I actually enjoyed it and spent Christmas 2019 there. Filipinos really like celebrating the new year as well. I've never experienced an entire town outside making noise at midnight anywhere else before. I can't wait to go back!
Sounds epic! We are definitely planning to return to participate in the Christmas festivities but I’m not sure if we’ll be there for exactly Christmas and New Years or not!
ure the only foreign vloggers who went to festival mall that ive seen, ive always suggested them to go to Alabang area specially Festival Mall. Advanced Merry Christmas...
We were so happy to visit the mall and to attend the concert! We hope to feature both the mall, concerts and area more when we are back next month! Thank you so much for watching and the kind words!
Christmas is the best one! 😆 feeling the rainy one today! We’re in the GRAB on the way to the basketball game! Lots of rain and traffic .. but I don’t think traffic is a season here I think it’s year round 😆🎄🙏🏼
@@JennandLeonIf you gonna stay until December the traffic will be so much but a lot of us got used to it. It's still part of the fun in the Philippines especially the Christmas season.
Thank you I appreciate that my hair could use some good conditioning and possibly a trim! I am curly haired naturally so whenever I straighten my hair here in this humidity it never holds! ha! As for the colouring I made a personal decision 6 months ago to let my natural colours grow in. There is black and white and SILVER, that shines like tinsel! It's a long and challenging process as it grows in and blends into the longer length but it's one that I'm happy to make!
@@polgonzales That’s ok no worries! On Instagram I have a profile to share and encourage the process of growing out and embracing your hair regardless of age etc! I love to talk about it 🙏🏼❤️
You should stay up to New Year and experience the unique New Year's celebration in the Philippines , book at one of the tallest buildings to see the entire Metro Manila exploding
Yes we have heard great things! We are definitely planning to return we want to enjoy the CHRISTMAS and NEW YEAR cheer we hear so much about and yes there are many more cities and islands to explore!
Christmas season starting in september is just a tradition created or started by malls and by non Catholic Filipino main stream media. But the start of the traditional Catholic Christmas cerlebratioms begins with rhe start of the advent season on December 3, 2023. In September we celebrate the Blessed Mother Virgin Mary's nativity and in October is our Rosary month celebration. While November is the month where Hallowtide is observed where we honor the saints and the Dead and December is for Christmas Celebration for Filipino Catholics celebrating the bitth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Malls start decorating in Srptember and atart playing Christmas Song but Filipino Catholic homes starts to decorate their homes and olay christmas song in December.
No, only in store and mall displays the Christmas deco ready for sale. They must observe All Saints and Souls days which beginn in September and October. There is still Halloween party which the Children celebrates in School and at home with family. It is crazy to decorates Christmas tree at home and the other side there Halloween deco. Celebrated Jesus Christ birth and the other is Halloween devil deco.
Dear sister, very nice beautiful long hair.... Please coming visit From Bangladesh vlog vedio... Its very nice beautiful country... Every people friendly...
@@JennandLeon you're right, because white hair represents wisdom, experience, and courage. those Filipinos whom wants their hair dyed are those giving importance of what others will say, there's nothing to be ashamed of or uncomfortable, unless your job requires it.
Yes I agree with you. Also I have many SILVER hairs that twinkle like tinsel on a christmas tree! It's so so pretty. Why spend so much money on something that can't compare! Also I think it's important to show people that you can be happy and beautiful no matter how you personally choose to be! It's the light that shines from within that gives true beauty! Because I am letting it grow in naturally it's at a bit of a wierd length now! When it grows in a little longer I think it will be better! I do get a little self conscious about it sometimes especially because we do RUclips! Thank you for the encouragement it means a lot! @@lexlier8336
Guys you're very lucky to watch Jose Mari Chan performing up close. He's one of the legendary singers in the Philippines.
