Hey there! Are you ready to welcome the New Year in the most exciting way? 🎉 In the Philippines, especially in Makati City, New Year’s Eve is a blast! The streets turn into a big party filled with colorful lights, music, and happy faces.
On December 31st, locals and tourists come together to enjoy amazing performances. There are dancers, singers, and sometimes even fireworks that light up the sky! 🎆 It’s like the whole city is celebrating together.
Families and friends gather to share yummy food, like lechon (that’s crispy roast pig!) and sticky rice cakes called bibingka and puto bumbong. 🍗🍚 They believe these foods bring good luck and a sweet year ahead.
As midnight approaches, everyone gets super excited. They count down—10, 9, 8…—and when the clock strikes twelve, the cheers and joy are unstoppable! 🥳 People jump high to grow taller and make lots of noise to scare away bad luck.
Photographers love capturing these happy moments. The smiles, the lights, the energy—it’s all so magical. Maybe one day, you can experience this fantastic celebration in person! 🤗
Happy New Year, or as they say in the Philippines, “Manigong Bagong Taon!” 🎊
