[Title] => Commercially, Christmas starts early December
[Summary] => Filipinos believe that we have the longest Christmas celebration in the world. This is not true at all. Christmastide here officially starts on December 16 with the novenary Masses known as simbang gabi and ended on the Feast of the Epiphany, or the manifestation of the baby Jesus to the Wise Men from the East, which later were said to be Three Kings and given the names of Gaspar, Melchor and Balthazar.

[Title] => The most indigenous Filipino Christmas symbol
[Summary] => We have many old Christmas symbols. Probably the oldest is the Nativity scene, known by its Spanish name belen, or Bethlehem. This is a tradition that is believed to have originated way back in 1223 when St. Francis celebrated Christmas by depicting the Nativity scene complete with live donkey, sheep and ox. By the 17th century, the custom reached Spain, and a century later it was introduced in Mexico from where it was brought to the Philippines. Originally, the only human figures in the belen were the Holy Couple and the Holy Infant.
