Philippines is the Happiest Place On Earth during the Holiday Season for the following reasons:

• We, Filipinos always welcome the New Year with Polka Dots, Round-shaped Fruits and of course with a BANG! We are positive that the New year will be a better year;

• Only in the Philippines where Lechon Baboy is the Star of the Holiday Season, some would say it's Ham but I believe that most Filipinos would prefer Lechon Baboy than Ham;

• And of course, it is very evident in the Phils. that Christmas is the celebration of the birth of our Savior, we felt incomplete without attending the "Simbang Gabi".
