2019New Year in Manila

菲律賓人為什麼會過chinese new year?每年初一菲律賓竟然是國定假日!

我猜想因為華裔在菲的影響舉足輕重，再加上多少華人在菲做生意開工廠

Celebrating our 2019 New year with the oldest china town all over the world.

Can't imagine those crowed people wearing red clothes and watche= lion and dragon dance.

normally we'd say 新年快樂, but they say 恭喜發財（粵）. they probably learn it from TV show.
