Pasko Palit-Pinggan
This illustration captures the essence of a Filipino Christmas in a typical barrio setting, where neighbors—both the friendly and the not-so-friendly—come together to share food. It highlights the practice of exchanging kakanin (rice delicacies), symbolizing the generosity and warmth of the season. The scene shows parols (traditional star lanterns) lighting up the streets, while people sing Christmas carols, adding to the festive atmosphere.
During this time of year, even those on a tight budget become more giving, offering what they can.
Pro-tip: When sharing food, avoid using your favorite or sentimental plates—you might not see them again after the holidays!
