Let me show you around shopping malls and hotels in Cebu to see their wonderful Christmas tree.
They're also very Instagramable!
More than 90% of the population in the Philippines are Catholic. Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus, but also, it is the biggest holiday season in the Philippines. Parties and exchanging of gifts start in the second half of November, by then everyone will be very busy. These parties are similar to Japanese year-end parties.
In November, most families will start putting up their Christmas trees and of course large shopping malls and hotels are no exception. They usually show off their huge and magnificent trees during this time.
