The longest Christmas in the world (Manila)

For Filipinos,
September 1st is the start of the Christmas season.

Everyone there who thought “Hurry up!”
I go to the Philippines every month,
Since September, the city is really full of Christmas trees. lol

In November,
At schools and companies, gifts are exchanged every week,

In December,
Due to heavy traffic congestion, the ride-hailing app Grab will no longer work.
From my perspective, there are times when traffic is so heavy all year round that it doesn’t even work anymore…lol

Also,
Filipinos value their families,
The image is that everyone, including relatives, is having fun on Christmas day.
It’s surprising how many families there are in the Philippines.

moreover,
There is another salary other than the bonus called “13th month pay”, and it is said to be paid before Christmas.
To begin with, the Philippines is legally required to get paid twice a month, and due to the consumer culture of spending more quickly than saving, people have the impression that the country’s economy is revitalized but few people have savings.

Filipinos with money here
Instead of consuming that money, they invest it in various things and earn money.

The Filipino national character, who enjoys the day to the fullest and does not think about the next day, is very cheerful.
I don’t have the spirit to do anything.

I can’t say it’s good at all, but
This kind of aggressiveness may be what Japanese people need today.

Now,
I’m going to the Philippines! (^^)
