Jose Mari Chan Memes in 2020

Back in Chinese ghost month August, some Pinoys have this weird feeling that someone is waiting for them in the corner.

 And as soon the clock strikes 12 by September 1 midnight, the official "Ber" months season begins.

Unlike most other countries where they prep for Halloween and Thanksgiving first, here in the Philippines, we start prepping for Christmas more as soon as we enter "Ber" months. Not only do we double our efforts to save and try to find good bargain gifts for our monito - monita this early, it has been part of our tradition to play Jose Mari Chan Christmas carols.

I'll bet 1,000 pesos as soon as you go out today, you'll hear Jose Mari Chan. Maybe even just staying at home you'll still hear his Christmas serenades.

No one can hide from Jose Mari Chan.

I don't know how that started. I've been hearing his songs since I was a kid. A friend even shared a twisted version of his Christmas in Our Hearts song, but I choose to forget it.
