In chinese culture and tradition, chinese new year is celebrated in between the dates January 21 and February 20. During this date numerous people from around the world all Celebrate to usher out the old year and bring forth the luck and prosperity of the new one into their lifes.

Among the different countries celebrating Chinese New Year, our country is a part of it. Celebrating and embracing the ambience of chinese culture in our community. It offers filipino a joy to enjoy and experience the culture and tradition of other Southeast Asian countries. 



The beauty of the fire breathing 'humans' roaming the streets of Manila, wrapping around it the traditional dancing dragons parading around the city. Along with the bright smiles of children who are admiring the beauty, culture, and tradition of fellow countries.



It shows us that despite constant feud in between countries, there are still celebrations such as this that keeps and connects us as one. 



This became possible because of the Proclamation declared by President Benigno S. Aquino III, stating that this "is a manifestation of our solidarity with our Chinese-Filipino brethren who have been part of our lives in many respects as a country and as a people."
