HOW TO SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS ON HOLIDAYS 

By Teacher Jelle 


Holidays in the Philippines are treasured moments filled with laughter, food, and heartfelt connection — seasons where friendships are celebrated like family and traditions shine with joy and unity.

One of the most anticipated holidays is New Year’s Day, bursting into life with fireworks, festive meals, and hopeful cheers. After midnight, friends often exchange warm wishes, eat leftovers from Media Noche (a grand midnight feast), and visit one another’s homes for a salubong — a joyful welcome to the year ahead. 

In January, the Sinulog Festival in Cebu comes alive not just as a religious event, but as a colorful celebration of friendship and heritage. Friends join parades, dance to the rhythm of drums, wear vibrant costumes, and paint each other’s faces for fun. At the heart of the festival is Santo Niño — the Child Jesus — a symbol of faith, innocence, and divine protection.   

Each celebration is more than a date — it’s a living memory shared. As Filipinos, we carry pakikisama — a deep sense of harmony and connection. And during the holidays, that spirit glows brightest. Because in our culture, presence is the most precious present.
