Key reasons for its importance:
1. Cultural Influence – The Chinese-Filipino community has contributed to Filipino customs, food, and values.
2. Belief in Luck & Prosperity – Practices like giving ang pao (red envelopes) and eating tikoy (sticky rice cake) symbolize good fortune.
3. Festivities & Traditions – Dragon dances, fireworks, and family gatherings make the celebration vibrant and meaningful.
4. Business & Economic Impact – Many Filipino businesses observe Chinese New Year traditions, believing they bring success.
Overall, it’s a time for unity, gratitude, and welcoming new beginnings with hope and positivity.
