In the lively streets of Binondo, the celebration of Lunar New Year comes alive with the thunder of drums, the graceful movements of the dragon dance, and the nonstop crackle of firecrackers along Ongpin.

Did you know? The dragon is believed to bring swerte, lakas, at kasaganaan, while firecrackers are traditionally set off to drive away bad luck and negative spirits - kaya mas maingay, mas maswerte!

Here in the world’s oldest Chinatown, Filipino-Chinese heritage shines brightly; red lanterns overhead, tikoy and hopia in every corner, and families gathering to welcome a year of fresh beginnings and overflowing blessings.

Happy Chinese Lunar New Year!

Welcoming the Lunar New Year in the vibrant streets of Binondo, the world’s oldest Chinatown, right in the heart of Manila!

The air is alive with dragon and lion dances, the rhythmic beat of drums, red lanterns adorning Ongpin Street, and families gathering for tikoy, dumplings, and prosperity rituals. From incense offerings at temples to fireworks lighting up the skyline, every corner tells a story of hope, heritage, and new beginnings.

A celebration of culture, community, and fresh starts - Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Ending, beginning

Three hundred sixty five days have passed and, in a few hours, the world shall enter into a brand new year.

In a cosmic view, ending and beginning another year is simply a time marker pointing to the reality that the earth has completed another revolution around the sun. In the vastness of the universe, a planet without a star roams aimlessly in the eternal void. This cycle of our 4.5-billion-year-old planet portrays a beautiful relationship with its parent star - that being around with someone Greater than oneself is not only life-giving but purposeful.

In the same spirit, such an ending is truly beautiful as it tells one that something took place in the past 365 days and hereby allowing him to look back and reflect on and about his life. Thus, one would agree that an ending is a milestone.

I pray that this turning of time be a gentle invitation for us to remain (rotating and) revolving around Him who ordained every beginning and ending.

As we welcome the New Year 2026, let us continue trusting in the magic of new beginnings, in the God who makes things new.

Thank you, 2025. Bring it on, 2026!

We go places and travel far to see the world,
yet it is at home where we are truly rested
and where we realize that wonders have always been quietly abundant, waiting for us in our own backyard.

WORLD LAKE DAY

Today, we celebrate the beauty, life, and serenity that our lakes bring to nature and to us. But beyond celebration, it’s a call to action — to protect and preserve these vital ecosystems for future generations. Let’s keep our lakes clean, safe, and thriving.
