December is here, Christmas cheer is almost near. But what makes the Filipino Christmas celebration so dear? How is it different from the Aussies'?


Artist-performer Rizcel Gagawanan reminisces that indescribable feeling she has every time she's back home for Christmas visiting families and relatives in the Philippines.

The Filipino Christmas ambience is incomparable to how Aussies celebrate this special holiday.

As the young performer - who moved to Brisbane with her family at the age of one - looks back at her cherished Christmas vacations in her parents' homeland, she also shares her passion for acting and her upcoming projects.
