When in Manila during the holidays, you’d find rows and rows of houses — whether made of sturdy stone, piled up bricks or mere scrap wood — beautifully decorated with parol (star-shaped Christmas lanterns), Christmas lights, and even Santa Clause on his sleigh. Filipinos really enjoy putting up these whimsical and colorful decors to their homes each year, making it one of the most exciting traditions in the country.
If you would like to make your house Christmassy and participate in this tradition, I know where you can buy your Christmas decors!
When I was passing by Dapitan street awhile ago, I saw several booths selling Christmas gift boxes, Christmas balls, parols, hanging Santa Clauses, etc.. And behind them was a building that looked like a warehouse. Hanging above its entrance was a banner that read “Dapitan Tiangge.” I thought might as well check it out. Lo and behold! I was surprised to find that inside Dapitan Tiangge were endless booths filled with shining, shimmering Christmas decors.
They even have a peeping Santa Clause!
.. and beautiful stars to symbolize the light that had led the three wise men to Jesus — who is the real reason for this season!
So what are you waiting for? Drop by Dapitan Tiangge and make your Christmas shining, shimmering and simply splendid when in Manila!
