It’s September once more in the Philippines, which means that it’s also Jose Mari Chan’s Christmas music season!

Internet users flooded social media sites with local Christmas icon memes, while some used amusing Chan-related GIFs to celebrate the holiday.

Filipinos are noted for beginning their Christmas celebrations in September, at the beginning of the so-called “ber” months, while the majority of the globe celebrates Christmas in December.

The classic tunes of the beloved Chan are essential to the Filipino holiday season.

“I don’t know who’s behind all those memes, but I feel complimented that they’re using me, so it has further increased my popularity in that sense,” he stated.
