You feel the slight chill in the wind in the morning. Whenever you are at malls, cheery carols are filling in the airwaves. And anywhere you look, there are bibingka and puto-bungbong stalls. This could only mean one thing—Christmas break is coming!
Being the third largest Roman Catholic country, the Christmas break in the Philippines is more than just a season for taking a quick time off from school and work. Most of us take advantage of this season to get together with loved ones. Luckily, our country is blessed with a lot of beautiful, interesting, and wonderful destination to visit and spend the holiday seasons at. But for those who would like to deviate from the typical Filipino way of celebrating the Christmas break, here are some interesting tips that can bring that merry to your family’s Christmas:
Trekking
Get close to nature by doing this fun activity with your colleagues, friends, classmates, or officemates. This activity is just perfect for that high-spirited adventurous gang who are looking for a new experience. Mt. Manabu in Sto. Tomas, Batangas for example, is a good destination for starters because it’s only 760 meters above sea level and is very accessible from Manila. Trekking will give a new high to your Christmas break; it’ll be a way to start living healthy or losing some weight. And oh, you can get a cup of Kapeng Barako while you are at it.
Going to the Beach
If you think that beaches are a no-no on a chilly weather, you are wrong. Boracay, aside from becoming a rising location to buy a house and lot for sale, offers more than just a place to bare your skin under the sun during Christmas break. You can go island-hopping, snorkeling, scuba diving, and raft-riding. You can even party during the night. So if you are the kind who would gladly spend your money to have a helluva good time with your loved ones, Boracay is the right place to go.
Watch the Metro Manila Film Festival
Each year, the Metro Manila Film Festival offers a wide variety of movies for the family. This is an effort of the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority to promote Philippine movie. And each year is becoming better and better than the previous one. This year’s entries have already been revealed. There is a total of 8 entries, including one in which Yaya Dub will be making an appearance on, a suspense thriller from Ceasar Montano and Maria Ozawa, Hermano Puli’s life story, and another movie from Vice Ganda. Surely, this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival will be worth visiting the theaters and appreciate our own brand of a movie with the family.
These are just a few of the things that you can do to spend your Christmas vacation. If you are not interested with anything on this list, no need to worry, the Philippines is filled with fun activities where you can bring your loved ones with you if you just know where to look.
