00:00On the other hand, the activities of the Chinese New Year are in full swing.

00:05You can also sell the things you believe to bring you luck,

00:08such as charms and sweet food.

00:12From Binondo, Manila, I'm Maris Umali.

00:16If you're enjoying, Maris...

00:22Kiyong hiwa, Chymel!

00:23I would like to greet you from the oldest Chinatown in the world,

00:28Binondo, Manila, which is still alive even on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

00:39Lion dances are becoming more and more popular in different businesses here in Ongpin Street

00:44on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

00:46Before the dance ends, the lion needs to find the angpao

00:49that the businessman used to receive the lucky money,

00:53in exchange for the positive energy that was given by their dance.

00:56Not only does it bring bad luck, but it also brings good luck to the business.

01:01On the other side of Binondo, there is a bigger dragon dance.

01:06The Year of the Wood Snake is just a few hours away,

01:10so the attractions here in Binondo are different.

01:13From different mascots greeting the tourists on the eve of Ongpin,

01:17which is really enjoyed by the kids,

01:20to performers lighting fire.

01:24But of course, the most popular are the food for good luck,

01:28such as tikoy and hopia.

01:30Just like here in this store,

01:32even on the eve of the Chinese New Year,

01:34it is even more popular on the Chinese New Year's Eve.

01:37When it is round, it signifies that there is no problem,

01:40because there is no corner, and it looks like money.

01:43Second, it is sticky.

01:45It signifies our closer family ties, and the connection of good luck.

01:49Third, it is sweet.

01:51It signifies our sweeter life, and our sweetness to each other,

01:54especially the family and friends.

01:56These are the tourists that I met from Olongapo, Batangas, Bicol,

02:01and some from Singapore.

02:03It's part of our tradition and culture, the Chinese.

02:07When you buy here,

02:09you really symbolize our being Filipinos,

02:14who are really fond of festivals like this.

02:18Every year, we come here to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

02:22A lot of good luck comes to me when I come here for the New Year.

02:29And because of my lineage of the Chinese ancestry.

02:35I celebrate my birthday here.

02:38I feel stronger when I come here.

02:43Enjoy, really enjoy.

02:45All very friendly.

02:46Of course, when there is a celebration, food is a must.

02:49But because there are a lot of people coming here to Binondo,

02:53on the eve of the Chinese New Year,

02:55the restaurants are already full.

02:59That's why some vendors put their vendors here on the street,

03:05so that it is easier to buy those who are walking,

03:09and to maximize their time,

03:11so that they can eat while they are walking around Binondo.

03:16So this year, we decided to bring out the Kiampong

03:20from the comfort of your homes.

03:22So we bring it out to the streets here.

03:24Why?

03:25Because we believe that Kiampong is sticky rice in Chinese.

03:31It's like paella in Filipino culture.

03:35So the stickiness, it bonds together the people.

03:40Lucky charms are also available on the street,

03:43such as pinang with kiat-kiat,

03:45balay, luya, and bonsai kiat,

03:48but more serious in following the feng shui.

03:51Stores like this are their target,

03:53so that they can customize the so-called good luck

03:56this year of the wood snake.

03:58We have a lot of changes,

04:00or transformative year,

04:04or anything that involves the religious,

04:07or career, or money, or business,

04:10you need to be very focused on strategic planning.

04:14Because the nature of the snake is more of a controlling nature,

04:17so it's sensitivity is there,

04:19and mostly its emotions are based on change of mind.

04:23For many people, this is a reminder of the people of the barangay,

04:26and there are also policemen walking around.

04:28We just want to talk.

04:30Our work is just to put it in front.

04:34Tonight, there are different programs

04:36in different places here in Binondo.

04:38There will be a grand countdown, fireworks display,

04:41and drone show later tonight at Jones Bridge

04:44to celebrate the new year.

04:46Mel?

04:47Congratulations to all of our Chinese countrymen,

04:51and thank you very much, Marie Zumali.
