[Title] => Merry Pasko
[Summary] => I have lived in Columbus, Ohio since 1979 but I am not embarrassed to say here that my road to a “world of a merry Christmas” is still paved with mixed emotions every year. There is no doubt at all I genuinely love my American Christmas, simply because my loved ones are here with me. Yet, pictures of happy Philippine Christmases in the past haunt me every year. I long for that classic, quiet and unadulterated Christmas holiness permeating the provincial air.

[Title] => When stars and angels shine down
[Summary] =>
A growing fascination since childhood was the wonder of the heavenly bodies that exist beyond our skies. As kids, we once asked, how many twinkling stars are there in the distant velvet night sky? How big are they or what shape could they be? What lies beyond space? Huh. Even until now we still gaze in wonder.

There is really nothing that can stop Christmas. Not any of the bad news or our plummeting peso or even dirty politics can prevent the Pinoy from enjoying the happiest time of the year. With the month of December just a wink away, signs that Christmas is near are everywhere.

[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.
