[@missyenny1617]

no you don't go to a specific person to sing for them, this is different from serenade. Christmas caroling is when you visit multiple houses and sing in exchange for money. This is supposed to be a cute tradition, kids often do this and they get money in return. kinda like how you do trick or treat in halloween but you'll sing christmas songs and since Filipinos are so extra, they make it like tawag ng tanghalan grand finals lol.

[@LoeyyyPark]

yezzz up

[@rannarann9316]

Iba po kasi ang caroling sa western its more on chorale with instruments parang marching bands ganern. Di po nila yan matatawag na caroling kahit xmas song kinakanta nya. Since karaoke yang dala dala nya. Its more on a serenade side

[@jen8932]

True. It is so cute when kids, especially, the small ones, singing Christmas songs. You're right it like trick or treat for kids- instead of wearing costumes, they will sing and adults will give them "aguinaldo" (coins or bills) after a few songs. Teenagers and adults get higher aguinaldo because they can sing really, really well. Sometimes, one of them play the guitar. Filipinos are so extra, so true. Kids used to have improvised tambourine and improvised drums.

[@dawon7750]

Yes, you are very much right!

[@dawon7750]

Yes, you are very much right!

[@joevan5606]

Harana means serenade 😊 but this one we call caroling …it’s when you go to different houses and sing Christmas carols

[@americanlifeko6692]

Thats carolling in a highest level. The owner of the house should give him a fair amount of money according to his talent. 😁😁😁

[@sfidelisg]

While a lot of people love the high notes, I like those simple and solemn way singing but so heartfelt that the Christmas songs will really touch your heart. Hehehe! That's my preference. I admire and applaud their vocal prowess though...it's good for concerts.

[@marksy3944]

Yes. In the Philippines, most people think hitting high notes is a criteria for being a good singer. Regardless of how it sounds. It just has to be high. Even the caterwauling kind is praised. Tsk tsk tsk.

[@sallycasasis6801]

😊At the beginning of Simbang Gabi / Misa de Gallo is when Filipinos form groups and go from house to house singing Christmas carols for the residents. This is known as "caroling".

[@evanmanalang]

Best explanation!

[@itsmeaubrey]

Sing the Christmas carols and they will get money in exhange. It’s a fun experience and core memories for kids

[@lovenerassistantanna6307]

You are getting better at Filipino terms.. Way to go! Love you both ♥♥♥

[@Somm_RJ]

Harana is serenade. You can sing any song or olay any music you like in a serenade. Of course you should select the appropriate one to the purpose but the point is you are not restricted to a type of music. Kundiman is a type of music that are traditionally written for the purpose of showing your love. You can say it's genre. It has certain rules like tempo, how the song is contructed, and the language used. In that sense, someone can choose to sing kundiman in a harana if they want. Traditionally, that was what was sang iby older generations.

[@Navyreservist12]

Christmas caroling is like a halloween trick or treat,We go to a random houses to sing christmas songs and in exchange they give as some money or anything that comes from their genuine heart

[@bienespinagarcia1196]

this is very unique to Filipinos culture. I have done this many times

[@anitasabio9927]

That is called caroling, we do that before Christmas. We go from house to house singing Christmas songs then they’ll give money or it’s the other way.😮😜😍 it’s more fun in the Philippines when it’s Christmas time!👏👏👏

[@SB_love_SB19]

Pasko na!!!!!!!Merry Christmas Efra and Waleska my fave forevah!

[@michaeldelrosario6984]

That is Lyka's own version and she nailed it!!!Lyka is a beast!!!

[@lhonlhon5016]

Isn't that a version sang by Mariah Carey??...

[@lhonlhon5016]

Definitely!!! Mariah Carey version just without the whistle...

[@aizasantosagustin7052]

Haha efra is so funny ..someday he can apeak Filipino fluently😂😂😂😅😅

[@anonymousforever9188]

She made it her own version ..lyka estrella❤

[@julitapineda2046]

Every Christmas season, there's we called Carolling, it's singing Christmas song in front of any house you want to randomly, even without noticing the owner, and after singing, they will give you cash of any amount, some gives goods or any gift. The most enjoyable activity during Christmas season aside from Christmas parties everywhere. Thanks and God bless

[@ronnjr7348]

Why this version really feels like a divine judgment for every other version of the song😭😭😂 love it tho❤❤

[@elitegirl24]

Lyka's version makes me DON'T wanna sing that song again ever! 😂

[@SB_love_SB19]

Merry 1M!!!!!

[@josefemiliocampos5103]

Hi, Lyka’s version was a cover of Kyla’s version….

[@labellavita12]

Oh you have to wait for Lea's version of Oh holy night, She was the featured artist of the Tabernacle choir and they'll air the whole show on December 12, I think.

[@misslyne2821]

That was Mariah Carey's version..Oh Holy Night, that is why the caption said, No whistle? No problem, because Mariah's version had so many whistles.

[@cayezara8110]

Wow! That was insane!!!

[@cezarcamarino7315]

❤ well, people will love to listen to your song if you sing it beautifully.

[@Marlene-hc8zi]

The guy deserves a P1,000 pesos he sings really good!

[@zbatevp-vlogs610]

They go from house to house, i would agree it's mental because they come in different forms. Sometimes duet, sometime in large groups, most of the time crazy kids....

[@franco191]

Please watch JONA, MORI, KLARISSE, and SARAH G sing Holy Night in Acapella. The harmony is soo good.

[@The-Progressive-EDM-Lover.]

You guys should do a cover of this.

[@bebzpars1108]

So funny 🤣 i like watching both of you guys ❤❤❤

[@angelopineda6890]

WOhhh... the second girl crushed chopped into pieces the holy night versions of hers.....wft😮👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@meutonmichaelsy1315]

you sing for the whole neighborhood house to house collecting change 🤣 it's called caroling during the near weeks of Christmas day. and usually we don't bring speakers, traditionally we make bottle caps and DIY it to be rattlers a can of milk can make it to a DIY somewhat like drums, and if they don't give us change 🤣 because the new year is near we always have piccolo or a small fire cracker and throw it at the house and rus fast as fck and laugh. I miss my childhood. 🤣

[@digestivebiscuit9834]

same reaction when i saw that lyka video. like wtf??$@%^^&###??!??! high notes were so resonant and, man, that agility!!!

[@allamzon3618]

Maligayang Pasko at Manigong Bagong Taon/ Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year👏👍😄🙏🇵🇭

[@aquilesscythe5265]

Kindly react to lyka Estrella's original entitled Hawak Mo. Any of the videos you can find will do, she still slays 🥺

[@aleanahsacar4214]

It's caroling which people in the West are familiar with. As a kid, we used to make our own instruments, an empty can covered with plastic (drum), flattened coke caps string together on a piece of wire then we'd go from house to house to sing (or now that I'm older 'irritate' might be the correct word) and hope that people will give us coins. Choirs do this, too and you're duty bound to give them paper bills. Or the single guy with his own amplifier (a newer concept). It's tradition. Hotels hire choirs to sing carols, too.

[@daqueenhbic]

That was Mariah Carey’s version that she sang, Morisette Amon also sang this live with whistle and I think it’s “cleaner” than Lika’s rendition 3:47

[@jonasmartinez1739]

That specific version of "Silent Night" came from Mariah Carey. Its the most popular version of Oh Silent Night here in the Philippines.... Now you know.

[@carlosdicang1654]

Yes this is carolling to every houses that was done every year during Christmas in the philippines

[@rvmateo]

yes its harana in philippines, serenade in english

[@diopatra80]

i dunno if this tradition in other countries but here in philippines carolling is when you or a group go house to house to sing christmas songs for money or any kind in return. yeah if this person come in our house may get more than usual. some kids are now even creativeincorporating choreography in their singing

[@ryansesbreno3291]

we do that in different ways. even employees do that if we need some funds or for fund we go to offices or even set up groups for caroling. it is actually fun!

[@gerrymarciano8110]

Wow! so happy to hear tagalog words from your lips,lovely husband and wife.

[@harrysanchez8274]

Nope, they're brother and sister Dude.

[@wrhytz]

Good one. "Harana"... you got it! 😊❤

[@Unspeakabletruth-qx6yp]

[@americanlifeko6692]

[@ruelnoro6790]

[@jen8932]

The first part in the video is called Christmas carolling & they go house to house (like trick or treat) to earn some coins/bills after singing. Harana (Serenade) is different, you can do that any day you want to the one you love.

[@kj-pn4hu]

Caroling❤️ Speaking of Christmas, Felip/Ken covered 'Under the Mistletoe/Mistletoe' by Justin at last night's glorietta event, and also released a version of 'Moving Closer' by Never the stranger's

[@AmbokTV]

They needed coins... For their group..😁😁 it's like Christmas carol, they go to every house

[@rhovalvinceandicoy1540]

Advance Merry Christmas everyone 🎄

[@raquelbiliran7693]

Hahaha.... no Efra. We called it Caroling it happens as early as the BER Months comes this days. But during my time it a week b4 Christmas. We usually use tanzan ( Coca Cola lids ), a piece of wood and nails to make like tambourine, but straight instead of round

[@hootowl905]

Best oh holy night ever. Damnnn

[@rafaeldeleon4960]

trick or treat, christmass version. hehe

[@bigmaktuning6375]

They are caroling like busking in every home

[@kathsilver2445]

harana in the old days men went the girl's house of whom he courted and sing harana... carolings are performed by group of kids and group of adult or even church choir with any instrument to accompany during christmas season. they went to houses to sing christmas songs inreturn we the house owners will give coins to kids or even bigger for adults. christmas is really a big thing here in the philippines its for family reuníons.

[@shelavstansheilamercado6292]

Yes - serenade is Harana

[@3yes0ny0u]

Ate took us to church

[@karma_is_a_bitch6016]

We call it Caroling in the Christmas. We always does that when we still a kid with my cousins. Going house to house in our neighborhood singing Christmas songs and sometimes they gave us money and some say Patawad or Sorry.

[@filipinolifestyleincali9262]

They do that all the time..

[@kayajamora]

Halo-halo sa inuman?! Bet HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[@milaclementedelossantos3407]

CHRISTMAS CAROLING IN PHILLIPINES IS THE HAPPIEST TIME …. You can sing at any random house you choose and the house owner will come out to give money … not throw money …. it’s part of sharing during christmas season ..: for some organisations that want funding and on their projects the need to secure license from police or government agency .. that is for staying out late at night and a formal letter is sent to the house address you intend on to do sing Christmas carols and the house owner can get ready of the amount to share to them and sometimes get ready and of light snacks to the group after singing Christmas carols

[@Jhordzzz]

👏👏👏

[@coemaze086]

The last singer use morisette version i think check out mori's version

[@Queen-uw7ww]

[@TitaAgd]

We call it carolling.in my province we do Christmas carolling and the proceeds go to church. Some home owners will treat us to coffee and cakes in their house or even lunch. Boodle fight style.

[@jadeblackwell7696]

it's a tradition which starts every December 16. When a person or group of people do a CAROLING, you need to give money.

[@jenniferramos8077]

You have to listen to Jed Madela’s version. It’s on his channel.

[@cuttingonions_lifeisdrama]

Caroling in the Philippines. In my hometown, kids go house to house like what U.S. does with Halloween except instead of candy, kids gets coins 👍🏼

[@user-mk3dv3ug7b]

Harana - when u sing to a lady that man is courting! Carolling - singing christmas song during christmas to different houses & give u money !

[@julieandjullienvlog]

[@random-fish]

The tradition is called harana!!!

[@enniecaveiro5701]

Grabe ito 😂

[@iloveyellow7214]

Its just Karoling(caroling) Philippine version.... Kids in our neighborhood has been doing this since I was in 3rd grade I think? Its just like a live performance Giving change or money is just an option. No one is pressured to give money Its all just for fun 😉

[@FlorGonzalgo-nm7gy]

Harana is serenading the one that u are courting or the that u love.. Caroling is a group of persons or a people that going in every house to sing a xmas song..and the owner of the house will give money or coins..caroling always start dec.1...every night u will see kids house to house singing

[@geraldburgos6326]

Plsss try to react holly night song of morisset at the Royal Mall ❤❤❤

[@frisc0pn0ib0i]

I think this do this in Latin America. It’s basically Christmas Carolling. They go to different houses to sing in exchange for money.

[@ojnab85]

I think they might relate it to "Aguinaldo" which we might have called it that too if we take "ang sanhi po ng pagparito hihingi po ng aginaldo" as a clue.

[@myrnaramos766]

😂😂😂😂 that is what we call Christmas caroling

[@elvz4667]

HARANA - serenade but he's doing carolling that usually did on Christmas

[@jeeannsanti8123]

Here in the Philippines be like: christmas carolling - is done before or after christmas Harana- done when a guy usually courting a girl (old style) new style just chat or text her 🤣🤣🤣 Mañanita- is to sing to someone closed to you on her/his birthday (usually done at the dawn) Take note you should bring coffee and bread since you are unexpected guest 🤣

[@NICKTIMTIM-km1jr]

And mabuhay🎉😅
