Philippines: It's already beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Philippines with the onset of the "ber" months from September.
December may still be months away but Filipinos are already busy preparing to usher in the yuletide season.
As early as September, Christmas lanterns of all shapes and sizes light up the streets of Metro Manila, signalling the start of the Christmas season.
Filipinos start buying these star-shaped lanterns called "parol" to hang outside their homes.
The "parol" symbolises the Star of Bethlehem that led the three Wise Men to the infant Jesus more than two thousand years ago.
Even Filipinos living abroad have already placed their orders for these colourful lanterns to beat the Christmas rush.
