Hi there! This is my “inaanak” on his baptismal day. That day his mom and dad are very happy. Because their son is already a christian. In Philippine tradition newborn babies should stay in the house three to four weeks. Baptismal defined as A ceremony, trial, or experience by which one is initiated, purified, or given a name. The baby should be baptized wearing white symbolize the purity God gives to the new born babies. But recently many Filipino families wouldn’t be able to have a baptismal for their babies. Because they have to raised enough money for the baptismal party. Mother and father of the baby will choose ninang and ninong (god parents) who will give a gift or money called “pakimkim”. God parents has the role to stand as the second parents of the baby. Who will give love, support and ofcourse gift every birthdays and most especially christmas. Being God parent is quite hard because of having an obligation. But in Philippine tradition it is very fun being ninong and ninang. Especially to those people who likes babies. Would you like to be ninong and ninang also?
