It isn't my first time to visit Binondo but its worth habit forming just like a Benson's eclair of my childhood. This time at Chinese New Year, the streets are filled with people from all walks of life, decors in red flooded the alleys and dragon and lions dances gracefully at every corner. Kiong Hee Huat Tsai! As the Sangley's say it. A new year is colorful at the oldest chinese village in the world, the pioneers who lead the country on international trade even before the Spanish Colonization.
Mix of culture is evident in the town as the one of the most historical church in the Philippines, Binondo Church also celebrates a holy mass in complement with the yearly festivities.
Nostalgic, Colorful and Festive Binondo!
