Ang Pinakamahabang Pasko: Ang Kwento ng Paskong Pilipino
JesCom Television Special (please watch! I am included here)
The Philippines holds the distinction of having the longest Christmas season in the world. For many Pinoys, Christmas holiday begins as soon as the first 'ber' month, September, sets in. Formally though, it begins on the first day of the Christmas Novena on December 16 and ends on the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6, thus making it a 21-day festivity. We inherited Christmas from the Spanish who first introduced it to us in the 16th century . From being a strictly religious ritual, Christmas has now become the most anticipated event of the year celebrated by Filipinos wherever in the world they may be. In honor of the world's longest (and best) Christmas celebration, Jesuit Communications presents Ang Pinakamahabang Pasko (The Longest Christmas). This special takes a more intimate look into the Filipinos' most beloved season, mapping out the origins of Christmas as it was handed down to us by the Spanish missionaries 500 years ago, as well as its evolution into the Christmas that we know and celebrate today. Shot entirely in HD (High Definition), this 45-minute documentary features full-scale re-enactments of Christmas celebrations of old, providing the audience with cutting edge cinematic viewing experience. Hosted by Atom Araullo and Nikki Gil, Ang Pinakamahabang Pasko will air on Christmas Day, December 25, 2008, 6 to 7PM on Studio 23.
