The Christmas season in the Philippines doesn't end until we put down our Christmas trees at home, which usually happens during the end of January or early February.
Why, the season of festivities illuminates high hopes, new beginnings, and a season of renewal. December may be everyone's favorite month as the surroundings help brighten our moods and help us forget our daily troubles, and we just want to extend it!
As parents, we make the most of our vacation leaves and students' holidays by spending more time with our children. What's more, President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. just announced the long weekends for 2024!
Check out these places that offer an extended holiday magic, lights, and open park spaces that spell FUN for the whole family.
