The Philippine Star
December 26, 2013 | 8:23am
MANILA, Philippines - It is a season for children, which is why they are excited to wake up early on Christmas Day and see what “Santa” has left for them under the Christmas tree.
 
All of us have experienced that excitement when we're still kids, which left a lot of memories that we will always treasure.
 
So Philstar.com asked three male celebrities about their fondest childhood Christmas memory, and here are their answers:
 
Piolo Pascual: “You know, Christmas with the family when we’re still complete, when my mom and dad are still here.”
 
Christian Bautista: “Ah, sumasayaw pala ako no’ng bata ako. Nakikita ko yung videos na nagsasayaw ako, I don’t know what happened. So now I’m trying to get back on that.”
 
Bamboo Mañalac: “My most wonderful memory us just being with my cousins, family. I remember we would rehearse songs for grandma and grandpa, just sing for them and perform, that was our thing and I loved that. We had games. Kris kringles.. Musically I would say Christmas music was a big influence to me. I would listen to Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald - name it I was listening to that kind of stuff.”
