Must-visit churches in Manila for Simbang Gabi

For that Simbang Gabi moment,  these are the must-visit churches in Manila with your loved ones. I love love these churches because there is a food stall with the traditional eats puto bumbong and bibingka available right after the mass. 


It's such a treat to sleep in these days with the cool breeze of December mornings coming through the walls of our rooms. But many Filipinos would surely brave the cold temperature to attend a mass at four in the morning once the Simbang Gabi season begins.  

Simbang Gabi is one of the favorite Filipino Christmas traditions which starts on the 16th of December and ends on the 24th of December--the eve of Christmas day. Many locals believe that if you complete the nine dawn masses, your prayers and wishes will be granted. But others troop to churches to bond with their families and friends and enjoy freshly cooked bibingka or puto bumbong  after hearing the mass. 

If you're in Manila, you're in luck because of the abundance of churches, accessible by the LRT-1 line, you can visit for Simbang Gabi. 

Check out the top five picks of ikotMNL:

1. Baclaran Church

The National Shrine of Our Mother of Perpetual Help, more famously known as the Baclaran Church, is one of the oldest, historical, and go-to church for Simbang Gabi in southern Manila. The vast and towering cathedral is perfect for Christmas feels and vibes, and is easily accessed through the LRT-1 Baclaran station.

2. Malate Church

The beautiful stone-wrought Malate Church, also known as the Our Lady of Remedies Parish, is hard to miss—it’s still one of the most beautiful structures Malate. Just take the LRT-1 Quirino station for a quick ride to the church.

3. San Sebastian Church

Ever wanted to feel like you were going to Christmas mass somewhere in Europe? Look no further than the Basilica Menor de San Sebastian, also known as the San Sebastian Church. The historic and only all-steel church in the Philippines isn’t far from the LRT-1 United Nations station. It is also one of the most beautiful shrines you can visit in Manila, even after the Simbang Gabi season.

4. San Agustin Church

Manila is not short on glorious churches, and two of them can be found inside our famous Walled City. Head to Intramuros via the LRT-1 Central Terminal and go to the San Agustin Church, one of the oldest and most popular parishes inside the historic city. 

5. Binondo Church

Manila’s busiest shopping district is also home to another glorious minor basilica, the Binondo Church. For religious history buffs, it’s an important place for Filipino Christianity because its serves as the home parish of Filipino saint Lorenzo Ruiz. Get down at the LRT-1 Carriedo  station and ride a tricycle going to Binondo to reach this Manila landmark.

Now is the best time to invest in Amaia Scapes San Fernando

People are taking an increasingly keen interest in Pampanga, a province north of the metro, now known as the business and financial core of Central and Northern Luzon regions, and the next central business hub outside Metro Manila. 

To those who have an eye for fine investments, San Fernando, the Pampanga capital, is morphing into a truly progressive city, making it a magnet for foreign investors who wish to set up facilities in the country and a prime contributor to Pampanga’s economic growth.

It is also near commercial, educational, medical, and religious institutions such as Coca-Cola Corporation, San Miguel Corporation, Waltermart, SM City San Fernando, Robinsons Starmills, Mother Theresa Calcutta Medical Center, Our Lady of Fatima University, and St. Scholastica’s Academy.

Modern homes in a secure community
Families wanting to relocate to—and oldtime residents aspiring to buy a home in—a secure and wholesome gated community such as Amaia Scapes San Fernando will find attractive options among its modern and well-laid-out units of Single Home, Twin HomeS, Twin Pod, Bungalow Pod and Multi Pod. Unit prices range from Php 1.3 million to Php 2.8 million, with properties having an estimated 5% annual increase in value.

Five tips to have a holiday that’s easy on the pocket

By now everyone is deep into the holidays. And the season of giving can only mean one thing: with all the presents to give, parties to attend, and getaways to make, there will be a lot of spending coming your way.

But that doesn’t mean you have to grin and bear all those expenses you’ll be making this Christmas! This is the best time to take advantage of all the deals, sales, promos, and perks that are available the whole season.

Here are a few tips you can use:

1. Set a spending limit
If you are really on a budget, then it’s important to set a spending limit. It’s better to acknowledge that you have got a hard limit to be mindful of, instead of having to deal with overspending when Christmas is over. Plus, it will force you to be more creative when it’s time to shop.

2. Make a list
Take the cue from Santa – he makes a list and checks it twice! Keeping a list will help you remember what you need to buy and the budget that you need to stick to.

3. Use the right credit card
Mastering the art of Christmas shopping will depend on your tool of choice. Have you considered getting the right credit card that lets you spend exactly the way that you need to?

For example, using an EastWest credit card to shop for the latest in gadgets, fashion, appliances, and more can get you 0% interest on installment for up to 24 months at Abenson, The SM Store, Power Mac Center, Rustan’s, and in over 2,000 participating outlets nationwide. That means you can get everything you need to get in your Christmas shopping without worry!

4. Find sales and discounts
Everyone is going to buy a lot this Christmas, so you can expect a lot of sales, everywhere! Take time to find the right holiday sales to get the things (and experiences) you want and need, at the best prices.

If you are looking to take a much-deserved holiday getaway, EastWest credit cards are ideal for booking and paying (partner hotels, resorts, restaurants, and more!), as they come with exclusive perks, discounts, and savings.

5. Give more
Christmas is all about giving, so you might want to spend less on the things you want for yourself and instead focus on giving gifts to people around you. If you can give something that doesn’t need to be purchased, that’s even better.

Give a loved one the freedom to spend with an EastWest supplementary credit card, to get free cash credits on your own principal card. Not only have you given them more financial freedom, but you get rewards along the way too!

Don’t miss out on everything you can enjoy this Christmas with your EastWest credit card. To learn more about all the promos and perks available this holiday season, visit https://www.ewbanker.com/Cards/CreditCardPromotions. Happy holidays!
