The workshop aims to promote one of the Philippines’ cultural traditions during the Christmas season. The tradition goes back to early 1600’s after the arrival of the Spaniards to spread Christianity. Christmas in the Philippines is not complete without parol. The workshop includes presentation of the history and significance of parol in our culture. There will be sing-along of Filipino Christmas Carols, kakanin at regalo para sa kabataan. And of course Parol-making!
