Pasko na sinta ko…. meaning, it’s the time of year when we’re bombarded with Christmas songs at every turn. Regardless of how you feel about the Holiday season, we’re pretty sure these songs will help you get the Christmas feels. Sit back relax and turn up your speakers!
1. “Christmas in our Hearts” by Jose Mari Chan
“Whenever I see girls and boys, selling lanterns on the street…”
Don’t trust any Filipino who doesn’t know this song! I mean, where else would they think Christmas be, if not in our hearts?
2. “Boom Tarat Tarat” (Christmas Edition) by Willie Revillame
“Boom tarat tarat, boom tarrat tarat, tararat tararat, boom boom boom…”
Admit it, you’ve danced to this at least once, perhaps in an office party or a family reunion. The song will take you back to 2008.
3. “Sana ngayong Pasko” by Ariel Rivera
“Sana ngayong pasko ay maalala mo pa rin ako…”
If you want to be reminded that you are single and lonely this Christmas, put this on repeat.
4. “Bro, Ikaw ang Star ng Pasko” by ABS-CBN stars
“Salamat sa liwanag mo, muling magkakakulay ang pasko…”
This station ID was released in 2009, but the lyrics are hard to forget! It uses the perfect formula for an earworm.
5. “Christmas Bonus” by Aegis
“Kaya’t ibigay n’yo na, ang aming Christmas bonus…”
‘Cause extra money is always worth singing about!
6. “Kumukutikutitap” by Ryan Cayabyab
“Kumukutikutitap, bumubusibusilak ganyan ang indak ng mga bumbilya”
Nope, that’s not a tongue twister.
7. “Fruticake” by the Earaserheads
“There’s a fruitcake for everybody…”
Nothing like this classic. BTW, this fruitcake is absolutely worth singing about!
8. “Noche Buena” by Alpha All Stars
“Tayo na giliw, magsalo na tayo…”
Christmas foodzzzz!
9. “Miss Kita Kung Christmas” by Sarah Geronimo
“Hinahanap-hanap pa rin kita, ewan ko kung bakit ba…”
Because there’s always that someone we miss during the Christmas season. Here’s a version by Sarah G.
10. “Merry Christmas na” by Filipino boy band 1:43
“I thought cold December nights again, ang gift ni Santa para sa ‘kin…”
For the few lucky ones who were able to find someone to hug this Christmas!
