The scent of bibingka and p**o bumbong filling the streets after Simbang Gabi, the songs of carolers ๐ถ echoing through barangays, the quiet anticipation in every homeโit's all part of the heart of the season. ๐ซถ
Here we areโ๐ค๐๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ who know that Christmas isn't measured in peso bills or Instagram posts.
