Chinese New Year 2025


Filipinos celebrate Chinese New Year because of the strong influence of Chinese culture in the Philippines. Many Filipino traditions, belief, and even foods have been influenced by Chinese migration and trade. The celebration of Chinse New Year is greatly observed in places with large Filipino-Chinese communities, such as Binondo, Manila, the world's oldest Chinatown. That's why we can observed that most of the Filipinos celebrate this holiday by doing such activities.


During Chinese New Year, many Filipinos like to give ampao, a small red enveloped filled with money, to their fellow Filipinos. They also enjoy eating Chinese foods when celebrating this holiday. Tikoy is one of the most prominent Chinese food that Filipinos love to eat and share in Chinses New Year. Malls, schools, offices, and other public places even decorate with red lanterns and other Chinese themed decorations. Moreover, Filipinos love to watch dragon dance and lion dance on the road. These traditions symbolizes prosperity, good luck, and fresh start for the year ahead. 


In conclusion, Filipinos embrace the celebration not just for luck but but also a way to appreciate diversity and unity between Chinese and Filipinos. The event is a reminder of the deep connection between Filipino and Chinese cultures, showing how traditions can blend and bring people together in joy and hope for a prosperous year.
