Yes it is. The neighbors would play Christmas songs on the 1st day of September.
It's the time of the year that sugar centrals start milling and producing sugar. People have jobs and the economy starts to flourish again after months of tiempos muertos
That's a good thing to hear, but it would be better if there were good times all year.
Also, do you speak Spanish in the Philippines?
Spain occupied the Philippines for 3 centuries (around the same time with Mexico). Then Americans liberated us. Currently we have US English as our second language and Spanish is deeply ingrained in our vocabulary. !BBH !LOLZ
Ohh, interesting. I didn't know that. So you usually speak three languages?
We have many languages but generally we speak 3 languages. English, Filipino (National language), and the local language which usually depends on the which island one lives and we have more than 7 thousand islands 😅
What? That's crazy. And you have different languages for each island? Aren't they the same language with different dialect?
