(Comment from a Filipino: I've lived in the Philippines all my life and I've always thought that "Simbang Gabi" meant the midnight mass on Dec. 24. And this is the first time I've heard of the term "Misas de Aguinaldo".)
Pamamasko / "Namamasko po" section? In the Christmas Day section it says: "Aguinaldo or money in the form of crisp, fresh-from-the-bank bills is given after the Pagmamano, most usually to younger children." However, I think asking for/receiving aguinaldo is no longer exclusively done on Christmas Day. The term Pamamasko was not used in that section either, though it is also used to describe the money given to carolers (Caroling section). So maybe one can discuss pamamasko in general in its own section.--Sofimi17:18, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ummm, that is simply not true.
There is no 'yearly ban on firecrackers'. Establishments can legitimately sell firecrackers and other explosives. I am from the Philippines so do not even question me on this. Yes, there are illegal fireworks but there is no such 'yearly ban' on fireworks! Si lapu lapu (talk) 13:23, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Si Lapu Lapu[reply]
Extended Shopping Hours
Should something be said about malls and other shopping centers extending their shopping hours during the xmas season? I may have a pic or two showing that as well. Shrumster (talk) 21:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If there are references I suppose. I don't know whether a picture saying "Extended Mall Hours!" is acceptable or not as a reference. This probably means that the article needs to be reorganized with major sections like "Traditions and practices" and "Economic activities" or "Economic effects". --seav (talk) 04:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
