00:00Romantic and sentimental.
00:02That's all the Filipino's are able to bring
00:06even to our Christmas decorations, according to their expert.
00:10Why is that?
00:11Find out in the first news of Niko Wahe.
00:19That Christmas song is so sentimental, isn't it?
00:23It's a throwback to the memories of Christmas.
00:27I'm so happy when Christmas is like that.
00:29I get to eat my favorite food, my mom's noodles.
00:32Your parents will surprise you.
00:35We'll eat together at a table.
00:39Teacher Paolo is so sentimental
00:42that most of his Christmas decorations are from 2008.
00:45And every time he brings them out,
00:47the unforgettable memories of being a teacher are brought out.
00:52The sentimental value
00:54and the happiness that I, as a child, get
01:02is like being brought back by these decorations.
01:05Even in his family home,
01:07he still uses white decorations when he was a child.
01:11We still set them up
01:12so that the joy can be felt.
01:16Because that's all.
01:18Christmas will bring back good memories
01:22with our mom.
01:24According to a sociologist,
01:26this ritual can be called a ritual by Filipinos.
01:29It's one of the very romantic and sentimental traditions.
01:33Because he did it last year, he'll do it again this year.
01:37At the same time, same occasion.
01:41And he uses the same objects.
01:44That's one of the reasons.
01:46So there's really an attachment to those things.
01:50Aside from the memories attached to each decoration,
01:53it's also cheap
01:54because there's no need to buy a new one.
01:57But whatever the reason,
01:58it's certain that the heart of Filipinos
02:01is the spirit of Christmas.
02:03This is the first news.
