A combination of tradition and festivity


 The celebration of Chinese New Year in the Philippines has become an integral part of our Filipino culture. This practice reflects the country's deep historical and cultural traditions. The reasons behind the celebration of Chinese New Year in the Philippines are encompassing the historical relationships, the shared value of family and the community. 


The Philippines observed Chinese New Year as a unique non-working holiday, which provided the chance to enjoy the celebration. This became possible because of the Proclamation declared by President Benigno S. Aquino III, stating that this "is a manifestation of our solidarity with our Chinese-Filipino brethren who have been part of our lives in many respects as a country and as a people." The roots of the Filipino observance of Chinese New Year can be traced back to the long history of Chinese migration to the Philippines. The Chinese-Filipino, or Tsinoy, community grew steadily contributing to the development of Philippine society. Most reason why Filipino's observe the celebration of chinese new year is their great history and traditions. Like, dragon dance and lantern festival.


As the lanterns sway gently in the evening breeze and the echoes of dragon dances linger in the air, Chinese New Year in the Philippines stands as the beauty of cultural harmony. It is a celebration that be bringing together communities in a shared embrace of tradition, joy, and the hopeful promise of a new beginning. In the heart of this festival, amidst the laughter and the feasting, one finds the essence of a nation that treasures its past while eagerly stepping into a future illuminated by the vibrant glow of unity.
