Birthdays in the Philippines
By Teacher Rich
“Are you
available?” This is a common question you hear from someone if they’re going to
celebrate their birthday. Philippine culture in celebrating birthdays is very
unique. You know why? Celebrants will be the ones who treat their guests,
unlike in other countries, where they will be the one to get treated. We also
follow the practice of going to church to thank God for giving us another year
to live. We also believe that having pancit or spaghetti (noodles) will
give us a long life so we always have this food every birthday.
In the Philippines, the most important birthday for girls is when they turn eighteen because that’s the time that they reach the legal age. You may find it absurd but it has been like this since the colonization of the Philippines by the Spaniards. During the Spanish era, celebrating the eighteenth birthday was very important because this was the time that girls were introduced to men. We don’t follow this tradition now; we celebrate our eighteenth birthday to be happy and to enjoy the life that God has given us.
