TV5 Launches Longest Christmas Celebration on Philippine TV

The "BER months" are upon us once more, and thus begins the world's longest Christmas season we Filipinos are most known for. By tradition, Christmas carols will be heard on the radio and in shopping malls at this time, not to mention the myriad of colors that will soon light up the streets everywhere. Indeed, as any amused foreigner or OFW pining for home will say, iba ang Pasko sa Pinas. 

The pandemic may have changed the way we celebrate the holidays, but the Pinoy Christmas spirit cannot be locked down. TV5 enjoins all Kapatid viewers to celebrate this Christmas journey despite all the challenges we face together.

TV5 recognizes that Christmas cannot be taken away from the Filipinos.  The fun and happiness we look forward to this Yuletide season will find its home in the Kapatid Network’s longest and biggest celebration – dahil Ikaw, Ako, Tayo, atin ang Pasko! Atin Ang Paskong Ito, Kapatid! Following the uniquely Pinoy tradition, on TV5, Christmas begins on the very first day of the very first BER-month.

Blah Blah Blogs: Beyond Calendar Years

Lagpas ka na sa kalendaryo.

The most common thing you would hear from people to a person who just turned 32. Though I think someone will be using that line once they know it's my birthday. Yes I am now officially 32. I don't feel ashamed of the age since it is more of how I am living my life now that scrambling for achievements.

At this age, many people have been domesticated with their own families with children (plus maybe a pet or two). Some have reached a higher status in life compared to ten years ago. Some (or mostly) feel that their metabolism slowed down and is now feeling the weight on their waists like me.

Shrimp Bucket Celebrates 5th Year With BGC Cook Out!

Filipinos have an explicit love affair with seafood. Which is not unlikely, given that we live on a collection of islands surrounded by deep, rich waters that offer up their bounty all year round.

This love is especially pronounced with shrimp. It’s available all year long in our groceries, we ferment them to make our precious bagoong, dry them to make our soups more savory, and include them in stir-fries, noodle dishes, and on the rare occasions, even dessert.

So it’s no wonder that when Shrimp Bucket opened its doors five years ago, Pinoys welcomed the new restaurant with open arms and healthy appetites.

It’s Always a Fiesta with May Sparkling Grape Juice!

With our high-spirited flair for celebration and inherently fun-loving nature, it comes as no surprise that we Filipinos are renowned for being among the happiest people in the world!

Most provinces celebrate their colorful fiestas during the summer season. Listed below are some of the biggest fiestas that we Filipinos look forward to and are the vacation highlights during May and June:

Pahiyas Festival

Celebrated in thanksgiving for a bountiful harvest, the Pahiyas Festival is held on the 15th of May in Lucban, Quezon. Houses lining the streets of Lucban are finely decorated with agricultural produce, plants and colorful rice wafers called kiping. A friendly spirit of competition fills the air as neighbors try to outdo each other’s decorative creativity, although doors are open and neighbors are all welcome to partake of the feasts laid out inside.
