With all the fame and the busy schedules that made them shine and trending the past months, a lot of our favorite celebrities still value oldschool quality time with their families and loved ones on Christmas Day and the holiday season. Here, they share how they spend their Christmas:
SHARON CUNETA
“Simple lang kami mag-Pasko (we have a simple Christmas). It’s always Noche Buena with my immediate family. On Christmas Eve, nagdadasal kami, then mag-o-open ng konti lang na gifts, kasi the next morning na talaga ‘yung mga gifts (We pray, then open a few gifts, because we really open all our gifts the next morning.)”
VILMA SANTOS
“We have old-school holiday traditions such as exchange gift, Noche Buena with the whole family, and definitely praying together as a family as we celebrate the holidays.”
DINGDONG DANTES
‘Pag Pasko, looking forward talaga na magkasama-sama kami ng pamilya. Pupunta muna kami sa mga in-laws ko sa Cavite , and then babalik kami sa bahay. Ganoon talaga kami (Every Christmas, we really look forward to being together as a family. We go first to my in-laws in Cavite, and then we go back home. That’s how we really are).”
JACKIE LOU BLANCO
“Pag Christmas, we usually spend it with my mom (veteran singer Pilita Corrales), kasama sila Monching (actor Ramon Christopher) and ‘yung mga anak namin. It’s really more with family.”
ROMNICK SARMENTA
“I’m at the mercy of finding out kung anong plano ng mga anak ko (what the plans of my children are). I want to make sure we are all together. That’s the only thing I plan—to have a number of days spent with my family. So it doesn’t matter whether it’s here or somewhere else, basta magkakasama kami (as long as we are together).”
JC SANTOS
“We usually do a lot of staycation kasi wala kaming yaya ng wife ko (because we don’t have a nanny). Tini-treat ko siya lagi everywhere para ako naman mag-aalaga sa baby (I treat her everywhere, so I can be the one to take care of our baby). This time we will be in Tagaytay.”
COCO MARTIN
“Sobra-sobra ang blessings na dumadating sa buhay ko simula pa noong 2007 hanggang ngayon. Higit pa sa hiningi ko ang ibinibigay sa akin. Natulungan ko na ang pamilya ko. Solved na ako sa kanila. Ang wish ko ‘yung makapagbigay pa ng trabaho sa mga kapwa ko artista. ‘Ayun lang (to give jobs and livelihood to my fellow actors and co-workers in our industry is always my wish).”
