00:00 It's been more than an hour since the Chinese New Year in Manila.
00:04 The fireworks display is already being held to mark the year of the wood dragon.
00:09 By live report, this is Katrina Son.
00:11 Katrina?
00:13 At 7 in the morning, our countrymen went to Jones Bridge in Manila,
00:23 to be next to it in Pasig Esplanade to watch the fireworks display.
00:30 Later tonight, the Chinese New Year will start.
00:34 Thank you, sister. You really came here.
00:38 Before the Chinese New Year, Juvie was already in the glory of her papermé day.
00:43 When you cut your hair, you celebrate the Chinese New Year, you will be more beautiful and lucky.
00:50 If the Feng Shui expert, Najee and Marge Santos, are the ones who will ask,
00:54 this is a symbol of the past or bad luck.
00:58 Before the Chinese New Year, you cut your hair.
01:00 Because after the Chinese New Year, it means cutting your luck.
01:04 You cut your luck.
01:07 If you don't want to cut your hair but you want good fortune,
01:10 you can buy new clothes or underwear.
01:13 You can also clean your house or do the declutter.
01:16 On the same day of the Chinese New Year, it is prohibited to use any kind of knife or sharp object.
01:23 On the Chinese New Year, there is no cutting of food.
01:27 That's why you prepare food that you can just eat with your hands or you won't use a knife.
01:37 You have to declutter first your house or space before the Chinese New Year.
01:41 You don't have to clean the Chinese New Year itself.
01:44 You can put your good luck in your house like the key of success, which is the opening of a new life.
01:51 If you want to put your good luck in money,
01:53 try to put 50 pesos bill in your cellphone because it is red and the color of angpao.
01:58 Everyday, morning and night, we hold our cellphone.
02:03 We don't have money.
02:05 That's why I thought of putting money so that we have money everyday.
02:10 You can also buy different flavors of tea.
02:13 It is believed that the family will be more blessed and the luck will be more attached if you eat it on the Chinese New Year.
02:20 Those good luck can be seen in Binondo, the oldest Chinatown, not only in the Philippines but in the whole world.
02:28 In Binondo, in 1594, whoever you are but you are not a Christian, you are in the parish.
02:35 Whoever you are but you are a Christian, you are in Binondo.
02:39 So if you look at our history, Binondo Church is one of the earliest churches that was built.
02:47 And when they say Chinese New Year, Binondo is the place.
02:51 That's why the LGU is ready to celebrate.
02:55 Atom, at this time, it is already closed.
03:03 We have a lot of countrymen who are waiting for the fireworks display that will be held later tonight.
03:12 At this time, Manila Band is just starting to play.
03:16 Atom, the program will start soon.
03:20 Thank you very much, Katrina Son.
