There’s no place like home during New Year’s Eve.

What’s your set-up for this year? What family traditions have you kept all these years? Or have you opted to party at different clubs and hotels? Let’s take a peek of different snaps across the Philippines.

Little Traditions

It's been a tradition in my family to serve very sticky rice cakes on new year's day, I asked my Mom why haha, and she said it's a belief that this stickiness of rice cakes symbolizes very close, loving relationship among family members and friends for the new year and years to come.”

Of course, nothing beats the sumptuous feast at the comforts of your home. It’s not everyday everyone at the household gets busy preparing for one big, satisfying meal.

The Star of the Show

A celebration won’t be complete without everyone’s favorite- the lechon from Cebu. Some buy per kilo, some buy it whole but every time there’s lechon, there’s no doubt that everyone will be left with a smile on their faces.
