It is the only Asian country with a predominantly Christian population, and its Christmas season is considered to be the longest in the world.
The season begins in September and lasts until the start of January, thereby covering all months ending in "ber". Most Christmas ceremonies are still held in December, however.
Christmas carols, and pop songs will already have been playing in shops and malls for many weeks!
It's no surprise that Christmas is a highly popular time for tourists to visit the Philippines, often tying it in with the New Year holiday. Hotels and accommodation providers can be fully booked weeks beforehand.
