As the festive spirit of Simbang Gabi unfolds at St. Mary's Catholic Church, the Balikbayan Store is making its presence felt in a unique and generous way. Since the commencement of this beloved Filipino tradition, the Dubai-based online store has been delighting parishioners with special gift hampers, adding an extra layer of joy to the nightly celebrations.
Balikbayan Store, renowned for its wide range of products catering to the Global Filipino community, has stepped into the role of a local Santa Claus. From furniture and appliances to tech gadgets, the store offers a plethora of items perfect for Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) wishing to send pasalubong, or gifts, back home to the Philippines.
Their participation in Simbang Gabi, a series of nine dawn masses leading up to Christmas, is a heartwarming gesture that resonates with the Filipino tradition of giving and sharing during the holiday season. Each night, as the churchgoers gather, they are greeted with hampers full of surprises, courtesy of the Balikbayan Store.
This initiative is not only a celebration of Filipino culture but also a testament to the Balikbayan Store's commitment to the community. The store, which allows for convenient installment payments through services like Tabby and Tamara, is a popular choice among OFWs in the Middle East and beyond. With the option to shop via a user-friendly app, sending gifts to loved ones back in the Philippines has never been easier.
