My First Simbang Gabi in Singapore


Seems like the entire Filipino community in Singapore gathered yesterday night at the Church of the Divine Mercy to celebrate the first Simbang Gabi for this year. This is the first Filipino mass I have attended since I arrived here and honestly speaking, I have missed singing "Papuri sa Diyos" and other Tagalog songs during mass.


Afterwards, a special salu-salo of steaming hot arroz caldo and sandwiches were prepared for the mass attendees. It was a simple fellowship yet really an overwhelming one. I guess this really shows how we Pinoys value Christmas, wherevever we are.
