5th Belenismo sa Tarlac Dec. 4, 2011

But this year, thank you to Carlo Rojas ( the gentleman in white and with eyeglasses ) I have photos to share!!! Yay!!! It is such a beautiful tradition and a pilgrimage for many to see the different kinds of Belen in Tarlac. They are all beautiful and truly a labor of love to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. Thank you to Tita Isabel Cojuangco and Isa Cojuangco Suntay for spearheading this Belenismo 2015 (8) This is their belen which is very central and people really stop by their belen for photos because it is always a sight to see

A Gift That In Turn Gives

By Heart2Heart | Christmas | No Comments

Super love this Christmas gift from Jean Henri and Bea.

The card reads “Each Christmas, it has been our family tradition to give our friends a gift that in turn gives again. Contained in the inner basket of your gift is a simple Noche Buena package to share with those in need. The package contains a simple but filling meal for a family of 4-6. It is meant to be shared with those that would really appreciate it. The outer basket is for you to keep. It is made from water hyacinth found along the waterways of Cavite. Clearing the waterway of this aquatic plant helps clear up the drainage and prevents flooding around Metro Manila. The skilled workers from inner city Las Piñas are the weavers of these baskets”. A truly meaningful gift

I am so glad I can keep the outer basket 🙂

Christmas Village of Hope

By Heart2Heart | Christmas | No Comments

This is one of the highlights of our trip to Cebu!! The Christmas Village of Hope

The most amazing display at SM City North Wing ( right beside Radisson Blu hotel ). Tita Marissa took us to see the Christmas Village of Hope made out of 700 pcs of miniatures ( Lemax ). They used around 300 soap bars to make the snow. It’s already on its 7th year. The owner Joji Tugonon started to collect in 1993 with only 7 pcs and now it’s a whole village!

This Christmas Village is a GIVING village because individuals and companies adopt the miniatures and they are named after them. From P 5,000 to P 20,000.00 per miniature. Proceeds of which goes to Kythe Foundation ( kids with cancer) This year, on day 5 they raised 2 million pesos. If all 700 pcs were adopted it can reach up to P7m. A MUST SEE when in Cebu during the Xmas season

I went to the second floor to capture the view of the village from above

There are perpetual donors who already commit every year

There is an airport 🙂 with planes up for adoption

There are trains moving along the railroad track 🙂

A zoo 🙂
