Chinese New Year 2025: Why Do Filipinos Celebrate?

Chinese New Year, which is the most vibrant and merriest celebration, is not only meaningful in China but here in our country, Philippines. It falls under the Chinese Lunar Calendar on February 29 for the year 2025. Many citizens here join in since Chinese and Filipino have had such historical relations, which stretch back to their pre-Spanish periods of trade. Many Filipino families respect the Chinese New Year, especially to those who have their residents in places like Binondo, manifesting that they have some form of culture solidarity.

The Chinese New Year is amazingly celebrated among Filipinos because it leads to good fortune and prosperity. Any form of celebration is never complete without great giveaway money-filled boxes, red decorations everywhere visible, no absence of dragon and lion dances, and the malls and businesses are also on board for fun, giving away discounts and promotion for all.

Chinese New Year is a celebration for Filipinos to share and celebrate their rich cultural diversity besides having good luck. Though it is a rite from the Chinese culture, it's now already very meaningful for most Filipinos nowadays. Family bonding usually comes to mind in enjoying tikoy with other tasty fares while enjoying with the love ones. It's more than just a celebration of Chinese New Year; it has provided close bonds that have persisted between Chinese and Filipinos through the years.

A Journey With HTML Tags

During the second quarter, I gained a lot of new knowledge, particularly in the area of coding. Even though this has been difficult at times, I've discovered that perseverance and the correct tools, like internet guides, can make a big difference. Additionally, learned how to structure basic HTML code, using the <html>, <head>, and <body> tags to organize content. The <html> tag is the root element that wraps all the content on a webpage, while the <head> tag contains metadata like the title of the page or links to external stylesheets. The <body> tag holds the visible content such as text, images, and other elements that users can interact with. My understanding of web programming has improved as a result of these experiences, and I was careful to adhere to my teacher's recommendations, which helped me stay on track and avoid mistakes One of the major challenges This quarter, I struggled with coding, particularly when it came to compreh...
