Filipinos around the world have been telling us about the Christmas phenomenon here in the Philippines. As a British family here for the first time in September we are a little confused by it all. 😀
Apparently Christmas in the Philippines starts in the ‘Ber’ months, as in September, October, November. But here on Siargao island we haven’t noticed much evidence of this. So today we went to the economic hub of the island in Dapa and visited the biggest shopping centre to see if the Xmas hype had hit home yet.
What we discovered is that Siargao island has once again proven itself to be very different from the rest of the Philippines. Here’s why! 🙂
This is the start of our story. Our ‘New Normal’ and new future. We are moving to the Philippines for a new start and this is day 68 of our Philippines Daily Vlog which will document what life is like for a British Family trying to work out life in this very exotic and beautiful country.
Our names are Jmayel, Sacha & Story. We traveled to Siargao island with Jmayel’s mum & Story’s grandma just before the Global pandemic that sent the whole planet into quarantine. We got stranded for over 3 months and fell in love with island life, now we want to make that life more permanent.
