WATCH: The Residents of Sitio Naubo Inspire Us to Stay Positive This Christmas

A typical Filipino Christmas is vibrant and joyful. Streets are chock-full of twinkling red, green, and white lights forming Santas and reindeer, adding cheer. However, as we get on with our busy lives in a rush to fulfil our responsibilities before the holidays, it’s no surprise that sometimes, we may forget to take a mount to appreciate the true spirit of the season – that of togetherness and thankfulness.

Life in Sitio Naubo is very different. A small town in the outskirts of Dumaguete, the residents of Sitio Naubo spend their nights in the throes of darkness. Despite living without electricity, the members of the community are a bright and cheerful bunch that share a positive outlook on life that’s sure to inspire others.

This Christmas, Lady’s Choice needs your help to light up the holidays for our fellow Filipinos who are forced to spend their holidays in the dark. Watch the charming stories of these people, who find happiness in being together in spite of their lack of access to electricity:

The Christmas season is the time of year where all good things come together. We take a short break from our worries and spend time with those we love most. It’s the time of year where we see relatives from near and far come together to catch up on each other’s lives over a spread of Noche Buena staples lovingly prepared by the moms and foodies of the family. There’s a lot to look forward to during the Christmas season. Especially after an eventful year, it’s always important to count our blessings and be thankful that our families are celebrating together.

In the spirit of gratitude, join Lady’s Choice as they light up communities like Sitio Naubo. Show your support by sharing your cherished family moments of togetherness on Facebook and Instagram, and help others enjoy a brighter Christmas with their loved ones.
