HAPPY NEW YEAR! Manigong Bagong Taon! 新年快乐 Xīn Nián Kuài Lè! Kong Hey Fat Choy!

Growing up in the Philippines with a Chinese Father and Filipino Mother, I was able to experience the rich traditions of both cultures!

I remember during New Year, the Chinese Filipino communities celebrate Lunar New Year with a vibrant blend of traditional Chinese customs and local Filipino influences. Typical traditions include cleaning the house beforehand to sweep away bad luck, decorating with red lanterns and banners symbolizing prosperity and happiness, and giving red envelopes (ang pao) filled with money to children and unmarried adults for good fortune.

Family reunions are central, where everyone gathers to share a feast featuring symbolic dishes, such as, tikoy (sweet glutinous rice cake) representing unity and prosperity, pancit noodles for longevity, whole fish signifying abundance, and dumplings shaped like ancient ingots to attract wealth. Lion and dragon dances are also common, believed to ward off evil spirits and invite good luck. These customs collectively express wishes for health, wealth, and happiness in the coming year.

Whatever your traditions are, I wish you a Prosperous New Year!
