MANILA, Philippines - For Filipinos, the ‘ber’ months marks the dawn of a most-awaited season — Christmas. Everyone becomes wrapped in a jolly mood, humming holiday ditties, taking out decors from boxes, sprucing the tree, spreading cheers, and the part most anticipated by every one — giving gifts.

As our favorite holiday, Christmas is also a time for endless reunions. It gives us the opportunity to see old friends, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents and our godparents, of course! December is also a favored time for Filipino expatriates (also known as Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) to come home. Living away from their loved ones, Filipino expats take advantage of the holiday season to visit family and friends and experience a truly unforgettable Paskong Pinoy (Filipino Christmas). Reunions with Pinoy expats are filled with warm hugs and kisses, gales of laughter, endless feast and the inevitable boxes of pasalubongs. But finding the perfect gift this Christmas is hard, especially when everyone is feeling the pinch from the global economic meltdown.

Having a home you can truly call your own is the life-long dream of every Filipino to have. It invokes a sense of pride, a testimony of personal achievement. For Pinoy expats, it is seeing their hard work and years of solitude pay off and there’s no greater satisfaction than savoring the fruits of their labor. So by the time they return to the Philippines, they may enjoy the holidays, right in the comfort of their own homes.

This Christmas, make a sound investment. Your family deserves the best so instead of investing in an ordinary home, why not secure a modern, prestigious, and comfortable habitat that imbues a 24/7 resort -inspired lifestyle?
