12 Days of Christmas bring the Filipino touch to homes around the world through Christmas carols

TFC, the world’s largest and leading Filipino news and entertainment brand, and Remitly, the easy, fast, and affordable way to send money to the Philippines from a computer or mobile device, have partnered to bring Filipinos all over the world the first-ever digital Christmas caroling experience, Namamasko Po! The Kapamilya Christmas Carols. The project will bring the Filipino Christmas spirit to Kapamilyas around the world.

“I came to realize that in countries like the U.S., you get more trick-or-treaters than you get Christmas carolers,” said Head of Global Events Ricky Resurreccion, a migrant who has lived away from the Philippines for many years. He adds: “Mas maraming nananakot, kaysa sa nangangarolling.” (There are more people trying to scare you, than those bringing good cheer through caroling). Anecdotal to some but true for most, there is a sentimental longing for celebrating Christmas the way it is done in the homeland, especially given that the Philippines is famous for having the world’s longest Christmas season.

Its just a day away until the 26th Olympiad will happen in the historical yet modern city of London in Great Britain. Though our country might have not yet have its Gold medal, we are very optimistic and supportive of the 11 athletes that represents the Philippines in the games. This is also the reason why we made the blog into an Olympic theme in support of our best athletes that would hopefully bring us pride and glory. 

Their number may be small compared to the previous games, analysts are positive that even with this number,  we have really sent quality players that will earn us medal/s and hopefully our first gold.

Of course, we also watch the Olympics because of the grandeur that each host nation would do to make each games unforgettable. The live airing of the opening and closing ceremonies as well of the coverage of the games will be covered by AKTIV (IBC13) and TV5.

Now let's get to meet our Pinoy Pride Athletes!
