Caroling in the Barangay! FILAM Kids Join The Fun! – This is Our Philipp...

Christmas
caroling is still a fun way to spend the evenings leading up to Christmas day
in the Philippines. People of all ages will stop by your gate to entertain you
with a Christmas song. Depending on your location, these could be sung in
English, Tagalog or in our case the local dialect of Ilocano. After their
performance, usually they will receive a small monetary gift of a few pesos.
