MAGSAYSAY, Davao del Sur: In a mountainous village here called Upper
Bala, little Bitoy Amacan, 7, can only sing “Pasko, Pasko, Pasko
na naman muli” together with four children his age, accompanied by
sounds of stones beating each other, said a Philippine News Agency
feature on Monday.
It’s Christmas time here amid cornfields,
vegetable farms and coconut plantations under a black starlit night
and somehow the old Philippine tradition of caroling around the
neighborhood has survived after all these years.
