PHILIPPINE CHRISTMAS | The Most Christmas Nation on Earth!

[@geosalvelez8429]

that towel kuya, pinoy fashion statement 🤣🤣🤣

[@User_Dythfds]

Kuya Kurt is very Pinoy na talaga 😊

[@Arnigonzales85225]

I think it’s Palamuti the Tagalog of Decoration. Thanks Kurt for loving our Country, Our Culture and the my fellow kababayans. Salamat talaga

[@sweetmorena]

I can't imagine how beautiful the malls are in the Philippines. Each one has its own unique style, and they all seem to compete to outdo each other with their decorations. As Christmas approaches, every city goes all out with festive displays. Even the main roads and side streets, where buses pass through, are adorned with Christmas decor. That’s what I remember-it's a feast for the eyes, with people soaking in the festive atmosphere everywhere they look.

[@tagalogkurt]

Oo nga eh, ibang klase talaga ang Pasko sa Pilipinas!

[@jomoore6907]

I love you Charisma. I am filipina-american in Pennsylvania. I really missed the Christmas time in the Philippines. There is nothing like it. You are absolutely right about the Christmas in the Philippines. Keep up the good work❤

[@elanneyamoto4976]

You're very right.Kultura Pilipino should allow you to go in so people can see what they have and buy it on line like me. Free advertisement. Oh well,It's their lost. Watching from Canada 🇨🇦.

[@shanlaurinaria7949]

Wow pinoy na pinoy 😍

[@RonaldoBagaRonnie]

Kurt, stomping their feet is an expression that we Filipinos do when we are impressed of something. That means they are happy.

[@nikolkol31]

grabe... you really know the origin of the phrase "Bahala Na". Kudos! Mabuhay ka Tagalog Kurt!

[@KingRex-15]

[@JunjunLayug]

Kuya kurt mahal ka namin mga pilipino mabuhay ka

[@MariaFeGarion-i9j]

Bahala na. Ang galing mong magtagalog. Shout out to my clan Sarmiento in USA and in the Philippines.

[@larziekircher6692]

I am so jealous of you, I am a pilipino American and I wanted to take my American husband and kids and his family to spend Christmas and see the beautiful white sand beaches, but we are stock with our job, thank for sharing your beautiful scenery of Christmas, “GOD” bless you , watching your vlog from Maryland, USA

[@sweetmorena]

Magandang araw, Kuya Kurt! Salamat dahil ipinasyal mo kaming mga manunuod sa pamamagitan ng iyong video. Karamihan sa amin talagang namimiss ang pinas kaya masarap magbalik-tanaw lalo noong panahon ng aming kabataan kung saan buo pa ang pamilya kasama pa ang aming mga nanay at tatay sa pamamasyal. Sa pagdaan ng panahon ilan na sa mga kapamilya namin ang nawala kaya magkahalong saya at lungkot yung nararamdaman ko sa bawat okasyon na dumarating. The breathtaking autumn scenery, with its vivid colors, reminds me of how life is ever-changing. Though the leaves may fall, the promise of spring brings a new kind of beauty, reminding us that as long as there's life, there's hope. Your videos are a comforting reminder of the joys we've experienced and the hope that lies ahead. Thank you for that.❣

[@MelaniePo-in5fz]

May you have the happiest blissful Christmas too🙏🏻💕👍Salamat po

[@armancanlas5641]

I think Christmas is special in the Philippines because, for most of the year, except for November and December, the weather is very hot. When the "ber" months arrive, you can feel the cool air, which is refreshing and relaxing. It’s a nice change. Seeing the Christmas decorations makes it even more exciting, as it reminds you that Christmas is coming, and you can feel the cheerful and happy atmosphere among the people.

[@annhyde5877]

❤❤❤TRUE TRUE Filipiniana CHRISTMAS decoration at SM AURA Taguig City THE FUN FUN THE PHILIPPINES MABUHAY ❤❤❤Simplicity enlightened CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. Thank you people behind this project. CONGRATULATION. BRAVO!!! MABUHAY

Kurt other term for Parol is Lantern,,enjoy the Christmas Vibes there...

[@bittytods]

The good thing about long Christmas is that people are kinder for a longer period of time. Born and raised Filipino for 42 years but I didn't even know about Bahala Na. Hats off to you!♥

[@NoelSantiago-l7l]

I can’t help but feel nostalgic for the warmth of a Filipino Christmas. There's something truly magical about Pasko in the Philippines-it’s the most joyful celebration in the world! The festive lights, the sounds of carolers, and the delicious food create a unique atmosphere that simply can’t be matched. I miss it dearly!

[@beng1203]

Good evening Manong. Hopefully, you can get this THANKS because the last time that i sent you in your last vlog I did not saw it in your comment section , but Apple billed me for that😂be careful always and please huwag magkasakit sa next trip mo. Its me Bernadeth and palaging andito to support you 🙌🦋🙌

[@tagalogkurt]

Wow! hello Bernadeth, thank you po

[@madelinedelacruz5949]

Hindi siya na-upset, Kurt....na-impressed siya dahil magaling kang mag-Tagalog

[@tagalogkurt]

ah ay ganun pala sorry po

[@clintladera2054]

@@tagalogkurt actually some of the decorations are redisigned and recycled if christmas is over, some of them they're put in a large warehouse.

[@Cynthia-ps6vz]

You go to Pampanga to see more parol. Merry Christmas from San Diego... miss you Philippines!!! filipiniana and the mestiza dress

[@ramilmacatangay7260]

kuya kurt ang galing mo nmaan magtagalog kakatuwa ka. kaya nakuha mo puso naming mga pilipino. mag ingat ka palagi s amga vlog mo at mag suporta kami sa lahat ng mga vlog mo. slaamat kuya kurt!!!!!

[@joewho-by1yg]

Merry LONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG Christmas in the Philippines!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gt-kl7hj]

It is so festive that it lifts up your spirit just seeing all the Christmas decorations in all the malls and all over the country. I totally miss it.

[@paoello5755]

I don't know if you have witnessed the version of Christmas from the 90s up to the early 2010s. I still remember when I traveled back and forth in Manila when I still lived in the province, some towns are heavily lit up with parols or lanterns, the beautiful ones, every house you see. Also, another reason why September is the start of the Christmas season is because it is during this month you will start feeling the cold weather which lasts until early March the following year.

[@tesdelena]

You're so great Kurt! We love expats/visitors (or even immigrants) like you. Enjoy PH!

[@MerLin613100]

Celebrating Christmas early is prolly because of the song, "Sa may bahay." Part of the song goes like this, "ang pag-ibig kung siyang naghari, araw-araw ay magiging Pasko lagi."

[@JoJoTwins]

MAGANDANG ARAW, KURT! SM malls are slowly getting into the festive spirits. It’s amazing to see these dazzling festive decorations that have been put up. Watching this video feels like being in a utopic dreamland scene! It was such a splendid display of Christmas decorations. SM malls always recreate the magic of Christmas spirit that evokes a strong nostalgic feelings of a happy childhood. Their Christmas decorations are the anchor or pathway to happy childhood memories which bring excitement and holiday cheer. Thanks, Kurt for this virtual tour and giving us all a glimpse of SM Aura Mall, it somehow brings us closer to home. Your avid twin viewers from Illinois, Josephine and Jocelyn

[@papayengTV]

Stamping foot is like amazed or namamangha Sayo dahil magaling ka magtagalog..

[@sweetmorena]

This vlog is a feast for the senses. It delights our eyes with stunning decorations, enriches our minds with new insights, especially about Bathala, and fills our hearts with your warm Christmas wishes. Thank you for always sharing such wonderful content!🎄✨

Maligayang Pasko!

[@johnbalao9582]

Kurt, you are amazing. Your reaction to the Philippine Christmas decorations made me laugh so hard. In the Philippines, this is a natural phenomenon.

[@marilou2207]

The furry Christmas tree is from rice stalks & from cogon blooms.

[@EmilDVillamin]

Thats why its more fun in the Philippines...👍💖

[@emilyacana341]

This is only halfway done.

[@SmilingBoxer-cp2ue]

[@sweetmorena]

Kuya Kurt, I just want to say that I truly appreciate everything you do. Your vlogs are more than just videos; they bring joy, knowledge, and warmth to so many lives. Thank you for being such a positive influence in my life!🤍

[@tagalogkurt]

Wow! I'm happy to hear that! Thank you po!

[@Mackenzie209]

I'm happy that you love the Philippines, and I feel the same way! You speak Tagalog very well.

[@melissadomo2233]

Thank you for showing this video ! So beautiful Christmas decorations !!

[@victoriafediuk954]

Hello Kurt, good Morning, or Afternoon. you're always happy and with big smile. My favorite vlogger. Keep it up. Good day to you.

[@Lyds-kw8nr]

Thank you so Much for appreciating the Philippines. First time to see your vlog. God bless you with good health and with over flowing love and joy.❤

[@DemitriosRausus]

I agree that Christmas season here is awesome. I'm not a fan of Pinoy baiting vids. But I can feel your passion to your words and kudos to your dedication to speak Tagalog. I have friends who only know few swear words that I thought them and had hard time learning anything else. Ba't ba pa English english pa ko. Nakaka pag Tagalog ka nga pala.

[@arlynmp6735]

I miss Christmas and New Years fireworks in the Philippines

[@sweetmorena]

It's perfectly fine to stumble over Tagalog words. I also find English pronunciation difficult, especially since I don't have anyone to practice speaking with. In Tagalog, there isn't a perfect word for "escalator," so it's commonly referred to as "escalator" as well.

[@bluvir]

TK, palamuti (tagalog for decorations).... or adorno ( in bisaya)...thx for sharing.....🙏

[@sweetmorena]

If you spot an issue with your purchase, like the price of juice, let the cashier know right away. That way, they can fix it on the spot.

[@annaosabel9238]

Decoration= palamuti in tagalog The unusual Christmas tree that you like is made of " dried paddy" it's a rice plant

[@nellienovilla9187]

Kuya galing kumanta. The Philippines is known for having the longest Christmas celebration in the world, beginning in September and lasting all the way until January. Filipinos truly embody the spirit of Christmas during these months. Kuya Kurt, thank you for sharing the beauty and depth of this cherished tradition-it's heartwarming to see another side of the Filipino way of celebrating the season. - sending love Nellie Paguio Novilla from San Diego California

[@tagalogkurt]

Wow, that's a beautiful message! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video.

[@cdl6953]

It puts people in a good mood to see Christmas decorations. Hope you stay for Christmas to see light shows, eat Christmas food and new year too for the fireworks be on a roof top for best views 360 view of fireworks. Love your vlogs 🇵🇭 I hope you meet the Trifate boys another fave vloggers they’re Americans too.

Hi Kuya Kurt. First time I stumble this video of yours. Watching from Detroit Michigan USA. Keep on vlogging. Take care man.

[@alimademol2909]

Never been to SM Aura. Thank you for the tour and thank you for all the appreciation. God bless you and goodluck.

[@villamorbrown5483]

Indeed! You are right!Malls here along the East Coast are now being 'repurposed' as medical offices, apartments, restaurant rows & even municipal government offices.Thank you Amazon! Anyhow, malls in Pinas are unique in their extravagance! Mall of Asia which seem to be a Pinas version, though smaller, of Mall of America in Minnesota is still very extravagant in its light displays! These heart warming displays & celebration of the Christmas season in malls across Pinas, despite their extravagance make us feel proud of Pinas in a way or another! Godbless & Godspeed!

[@rab3492]

Merry Christmas to you fellow Marine...Simper Fi...Oooorah!

Kultura Pilipino they have distinguished and unique items for sale. Usually hand crafted and stunningly beautiful. I always buy souvenir items from their shop whenever I go back here at my workplace abroad. Sayang hindi mo napuntahan but try to visit their shop without vlogging and you'll be amazed with their products. Ingat kuya Kurt!

Hi Kurt, my help translation below: Decoration = Palamuti (not commonly used lately, Decoration is common) Stomping your foot = Pumapadyak Stamping = Pagtatatak/Nagtatatak Thanks for sharing what you learned about the Filipino phrase "bahala na". You really are making an effort learning the history. Salamat ng marami sa pag-promote.

[@tagalogkurt]

Thanks for the ideas!
